Vans added snowboarder Pat Moore to the global Vans Snow Team. Moore joined the Vans team and friends for a chest-deep powder trip to Silverton to celebrate Vans 20 years in snow earlier this week.
Moore said, Being here in Silverton for Vans 20th anniversary in snow is such a humbling experience. Vans passion and commitment to sick product and the snowboard lifestyle has spanned nearly my entire life. In the last 20 years, Vans has sponsored some of the most influential snowboarders in the world, from Jamie Lynn, Palmer, Sean Johnson to the new legends like Mark Landvik. Im honored to be a part of a team that holds such a legacy. From your first pair of skate shoes to your all mountain snowboard boot, Vans is the original. Stay classic.
Were honored to add a rider of the stature of Pat Moore to the Vans roster, said Vans Action Sports Director Peter Dericks. Not only is Pat sick rider, but his humble, down-to-earth approach fits perfectly with the rest of the teams personality while raising the bar for our entire snow program.
A fixture on the snow scene for more than a decade and described as an all-terrain destroyer in the 2013 Snowboarder Rider of the Year issue, Pat placed in the Top 10 for the fourth time. Pat is renowned for his big video parts in films such as Thats It, Thats All and the Art of Flight that are diverse with all types of snowboarding from urban rail riding to backcountry lines. This year, he is the only rider to compete in both X Games video contests, Real Snow and Real Snow Backcountry. Pat placed 3rd in the Real Snow contest last year.

Although Pats riding is big its also unbiased as he prides himself in saying, I dont care what Im riding, as long as Im having a good time with my friends.
