Syracuse, NY – Thirteen students from Syracuse University and SUNY's College of Environmental Science and Forestry are in Colorado this weekend to test out their paper snowboard. Yes, that's right. They've spent 8 months building a snowboard out of paper for a national competition called the Energy Challenge Design Competition. WRVO's Skye Rohde has this report.
