He has always challenged the status quo by innovating outerwear, accessories, and hard goods for FW Apparel, Anon Optics, Dakine, K2, Causwell, and Hest.
In 2007, Pollard created Nimbus Independent with Pep Fujas, Andy Mahre, and Chris Benchetler.
Named Powder Magazine's "Movie of the Year," Drawn From Here is a film by Pollard that opens with an exploration of his processes as a skier, as a ski/product designer, and as an artist.
It follows the influences he draws from — like basing the shape of a ski tip off of a surfboard or finding patterns observed in nature to integrate into the graphics he hand draws for a ski — and illuminates a thread that runs through and binds all his different disciplines and hobbies.
Pollard initially planned to attend art school to become a graphic designer but loved skiing with his family and never looked back.
