Answer 2

Answer 3

I'd take business courses with some graphic design courses and if you can, some kind of shop class.  As far as I know there's no school that offers specific courses, so you want to keep your options open.

In the meantime if there are any stores that repair snowboards or even just sell them you might want to consider getting a job there to get a feel for the market and understand board construction through repair if you can.  Also if there's a small company that makes boards near you see if you can volunteer for them or apprentice there.  You might start sweeping the floor but you might get lucky and be taught a few things while you're there.

Answer 4

I was just at Mt. Cranmore today and saw an ad for getting a bachelor's degree in the ski business. I'm not that sure about it, but all I know is that it was at Lake Tahoe

Answer 5

im not sure if you can major in that. Jake Burton (founder of burton obviously) dropped out of college to work on his company and his first boards. if your going into the snowboard business, you're best off majoring in something else you're interested in, just in case you fail in the snowboard industry.

Answer 6

try graphic design maybe architecture and stuff like that
