Nate Pruzan

Nate Pruzan came up ripping in Jackson Hole — raised on tram laps before most kids could even tie their boots. He cut his teeth on the slopes of Jackson Hole Ski & Snowboard Club (JHSC), where he spent more than a decade chasing steep lines, big airs, and high-consequence terrain from a shockingly young age.

From the moment he first dropped into Corbet’s Couloir as a kid following his dad down one of Jackson Hole’s most legendary lines Nate proved that he’s not just another grom: he’s a mountain-born operator.

Now competing under the banner of Freeride World Tour (FWT) Junior and JHMR, Nate blends fearlessness with poise, confidence in technical steeps, fluidity on cliffs, and a rooted sense of flow that comes from growing up with exposure in his blood.

Whether he’s stomping steep couloirs or threading tree runs, Nate rides with that rare mix of youth-fueled guts and old-soul respect for the mountain. He’s one to keep your eyes on
