Colorado Sees Snowshoes Holiday Sales Increase

The Colorado Department of Commerce has confirmed increased holiday sales of winter outdoor gear, including snowshoes, over last year. The reports cites three major factors contributing to the uptick in sales.

- The length of the holiday season was two days longer than last year.

- Heavy post-Thanksgiving snowstorms boosted demand for winter outdoor gear equipment, such as alpine and nordic skis, snowboards and snowshoes.

- An overall holiday season feel throughout December due to the snow and prolonged chilly air.
