Pat Moore: From Big Airs to Boardrooms and Everything In Between
On this episode of the Co-Pro Podcast, we sit down with professional snowboarder Pat Moore. We trace his full journey from growing up in New Hampshire and first strapping on a board at age 3 at Waterville Valley, where his mother worked as the resort’s marketing director, to becoming a Forum Youngblood at 15 and rising through the competitive snowboarding world just two years later. Pat talks about riding for major brands like Vans, Arbor Snowboarding, and K2 Snowboarding, and how he became known for innovative tricks and a heavy metal–inspired riding style. We dive into his 2022 attempt to break the world record for the highest air ever achieved on a quarterpipe, and what it takes to push limits both on and off the mountain. Beyond the riding, Pat shares how he transitioned from pro athlete to the brand side of the industry, including his work with Arbor, and what it’s like to help shape products, campaigns, and culture from a different angle. If you’re into snowboarding, brand building, or stories about making the leap from athlete to executive, this one’s for you.
