XC New York: Winter

Winter GM | Dave Sypniewski

Dave Sypniewski has spent his career growing the business of snowboarding by connecting athletes, brands and fans through marketing, partnerships and events. Through roles and work with organizations including Thrasher, Burton and Boost Mobile, he has helped develop athlete opportunities, secure partnerships and strengthen the commercial foundation of the sport.

As General Manager of XC New York, Sypniewski will lead roster construction, athlete strategy and club development as New York looks to follow its Summer Club’s championship season. Sypniewski will be joined by Special Advisor Barrett Christy Cummins, an 11-time X Games medalist, U.S. Olympian and U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame inductee.

“The X Games League creates a whole new way to think about team building in action sports,” said Sypniewski. “Success won’t come from one superstar. It’ll come from putting together a club with the right mix of talent, versatility and competitive mindset. I’m excited to build a team that can contend from the draft through the final event of the season and hopefully continue XC New York’s championship success.”
