Few product previews for 2013 Jones Snowboards, VonZipper, Coal, Burton, and Arbor …. plus a few other random photos

The Outdoor Retailer, or O.R.,  show hits SLC twice a year summer/winter. Traditionally this has been more of a stuffy shirt, fur hat type of crowd with a few pleated pant Euro’s thrown in for good measure. However over the past winter or two a few more”cool” companies have started showing up at O.R. Although still conscious of the overall vibe of the event companies like Burton, Arbor, Jones, Spy, VonZipper are starting to set up shop. I was able to run through the place today courtesy of the guys at Arkade Maagazine and heres a few previews. THeres not a ton of stuff here just a few random pictures obviously next week at SIA I will have a more complete run down of all my favorite companies as well as product and tech information.

Random Stuff

Many companies had airbag packs for 2013. This clean looking Dakine pack featured an airbag system from ABS

This was some type of granola shoe or something .. did like their guerrilla marketing though

Burton has some "classic rock" decks .. this one is from Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" I also heard there was a Grateful Dead Deck

Speaking of Burton I guess this is some new guy on their team or something...
