A look back at the 2026 NSAA Convention

INTERALPIN was represented at the NSAA National Convention & Tradeshow in Carlsbad, California, from 4 to 7 May 2026.

International industry gathering in North America

The event organised by the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) is regarded as the key industry gathering for the North American cable car and winter sports sector, bringing together around 850 participants from ski resorts, industry and infrastructure. The professional programme focused on current challenges and future topics facing the industry, including sustainability, technological innovations, artificial intelligence, guest experience, and operational and safety concepts for mountain destinations.

INTERALPIN strengthens partnership with the NSAA

On the sidelines of the event, INTERALPIN project manager Stefan Kleinlercher met with NSAA President and CEO Michael Reitzell. During their discussion, they reaffirmed the collaboration between the NSAA and INTERALPIN, which has been in place for over 15 years, and agreed to further deepen international exchange. “The long-standing partnership with the NSAA is an important part of INTERALPIN’s international networking within the industry. The face-to-face exchange in Carlsbad has once again shown how valuable this connection is for both sides,” emphasises Stefan Kleinlercher.

Attention is already turning to the upcoming industry events in 2027: INTERALPIN from 20 to 23 April 2027 at Messe Innsbruck, and the NSAA National Convention from 2 to 5 May 2027 in Amelia Island, FL.
