Colorado outdoor sports industryColorado-based companies have long been innovative leaders in the outdoor recreation industry, and this year, four businesses will have a chance to showcase their products at ISPO, one of the world's biggest trade shows focusing on action, outdoor, performance and traditional sports.

Supported by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, the companies will represent Colorado's healthy outdoor lifestyle and year-round recreational opportunities, from skiing to skateboarding.

The outdoor recreation sector accounts for over 107,000 jobs and $10 billion of annual economic output in Colorado."
