Whittier’s impact on the culture extends far beyond his individual parts. As a founding member of The Dustbox, Cooper has been instrumental in pushing the needle of snowboard media, favoring raw, authentic storytelling and tight-knit crew dynamics. His commitment to the community and the “crew-first” mentality aligns perfectly with Rome’s values.

Snowboarders worldwide can expect to see Cooper Whittier riding Rome Snowboards and bindings effective immediately – riding alongside the likes of Rene Rinnekangas, Lolo Derminio, Derek Lemke, Noah Coville, and more.
