We’re heartbroken to share the loss of our friend and colleague. Alex Pashley’s curiosity and kindness left a mark on everyone who had the privilege of working, riding, and running alongside him.
Pashley was an explorer to his core: As a photographer, he captured the nuances that transform a good story into a great one, and was celebrated and showcased across major snowboard publications. And he loved being on a board just as much as being behind the lens, building community through deep powder and big lines.
Always quick with a joke, a penguin suit, and a boogie board—and team Polaris through and through—Pashley brought an irreplaceable sense of levity to the most difficult expeditions. His search for adventure will forever guide us.
We send condolences to the families, friends, teammates, and communities impacted by this tragedy. Our hearts are with Pashley’s wife Erin, his family and his beloved Bernese Mountain Dogs, Dale and Rainer.
