New ski/ski edge

My innovative idea would be to create a new type of park ski with stronger edges. This is persist problem within park skiers. We always destroy our skis very quickly because we hit rails and the edges break, and then the skis crumbles apart. I would like to work with a ski company to try to find a new metal or combination of metals to make a ski last longer. This would directly help skier in the park and eventually all over the mountain.

Innovative idea

My innovative idea is a skiers/snowboarder app. Currently there are no apps that skiers can easily access competition point, pro updates, resort promotions, weather updates, count down to first day ext. In this app I would hope to incorporate a current online forum called Newschoolers, this would involve contacting the head of the website and creating some sort of business deal. Mountains and resorts also have no way to directly promote their information to their buyers. With this app would allow push notifications to be sent to someone’s phone about season pass deals, day pass deals, competitions and special events.  Another feature to this app I would like to have is AFP, USSA and USASA rankings. When you are a competitive skier or snowboarder logging into each of theses websites is a pain, having one account with all of these and your ranking readily available would we amazing. To start this app off I would need to contact at least 5 mountains who would be willing to invest in the app, along with getting all of the organizations and websites onboard with the ap. This innovative specifically targets skiers and snowboarders (many SNC students).  

Innovative Idea

My innovative idea consist on opening a new modern/urban skate shop in Incline Village. There is not a skateboard shop in Incline Village. This shop will comprise of all your skateboard essentials (apparel, shoes, decks) and more. This skate shop will support anything local and also carry exclusive products such as Supreme, Billionaire Boys Club, and many more designer/street wear products.  This shop will also include a photography section and host a rare vintage consignment. This skate shop will also host local community BBQ's, demos, and giveaways. As the business expands we would like to give back to the community and build a local skate park for the community to enjoy. Money generated from the skate shop, 10% of each product that sold, will go into preserving a natural land trust with recycled raw materials to build stages to host festivals and concerts.

Innovative Idea


My Innovational idea would have a major impact on SNC athletics and SNC student well being. I believe That an indoor sports complex should be put together for all the athletic teams. An all season training facility with a field and a gym. The entire complex can be free for all student, the fee should be included in the tuition. The teams will have designated training days that everyone else knows about. The facility would be used and loved by all students. Down to the serious trainer or the every day student.

I'm here!
