Replying to Questions for someone who works at a shop or is involved in the industry

I was wondering if someone who's involved in the industry might be able to help me out a bit and answer a few questions I have. On Monday, I have an interview with a well-established sports product company that is beginning to develop a ski and snowboard outerwear line (I can definitely elaborate if we talk further). I've been trying really hard to prepare well for this interview because the job involves things I am really passionate about and I think it would be a great experience for me. However, as much as I follow everything that's going on in the ski world, I still feel that I have much to learn about how the ins and outs of the industry really work. I'd love to gain more insight on the relationship between companies and retailers, and if anyone might be willing to chat a bit with me about this I would really appreciate it.

If you think you might be able to help me out or have any suggestions, please post or pm me and hopefully we can talk more. Thanks everyone!
