Company Update: SnoPlanks Academy
SnoPlanks, a 2015 early stage winner of Bend Venture Conference (BVC), is a snowboard company known for its sustainable, high-performance powder boards. Founders James Nicol and Ryan Holmes have generously donated the company to OSU-Cascades, creating a unique platform for hands-on learning and business management experience.
SnoPlanks Academy will integrate the leadership and management of the snowboard company into the students’ academic experiences, providing them with real-world experience that employers look for. This cross-disciplinary approach to learning is a testament to the collaborative culture in Central Oregon that will continue to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs.
