Snowboarding legend Shaun White has found more believers in his fledging pro circuit.

The Snow League, founded by White, raised $15 million in a funding round led by Left Lane Capital. The competition was announced last year with investments from the likes of private equity investor David Blitzer and Will Ventures, a venture capital firm co-founded by former NFL player Isaiah Kacyvenski.
