In an open letter entitled “Looking forward to seeing you in Denver on January 26,” Outdoor Retailer show organizers said they have no current plans to cancel the Outdoor Retailer Snow Show 2022 amid a surge in COVID-19 outbreaks tied to the Omicron variant.

Marisa Nicholson, SVP and show director, Outdoor Retailer, wrote in the letter, “There are no plans to cancel Outdoor Retailer Snow Show 2022 at this time, and the show is set to open at 9 a.m. MST on January 26, 2022. We understand the decision to attend may be difficult right now, but we are here to support the retailers and brands looking to get their business done quickly and efficiently in this critical winter timeframe. We stand with Surf Expo, CES, NRF and the other shows serving their communities in January, and we hope you will too.”

The Outdoor Retailer Snow Show 2022, will be held January 26-28 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, CO. The show is operated by Emerald Expositions. The full letter reads as follows:
