SAM ALPEXPO 2008
With over 500 exhibitor’s, the 18th bi-annual SAM 08 (Salon Mondial de L’Amenagement en Montagne) in Grenoble, France, was another hit among attendees. From April 23 to 25, 14,100 visitors from 58 countries attended the show, representing a 17 percent increase over 2006. As in the U.S., many European ski areas are coming off very good seasons, which helped attendence and the overall atmosphere of the show.
