Participant Spotlight
“SOS is the reason why I fell in love with the snowboarding world and everything within it, whether it’s the culture and community, lifestyle, the process of always learning on and off the mountain to get better, the adrenaline. It’s what I want to pursue and do for the rest of my life and eventually be able to make an impact in the accessibility of this sport in people’s lives.“
This summer, SOS alumni and engineering student, Vicente Flores, blended his passion for snowboarding with his academic interest in engineering. Through SOS’ Career Development Program, Vicente interned with Armada Skis where he did research on ski design. He plans to use this impactful experience as a means to get his foot in the door to work for a snowboarding company when he graduates.
