Patti Zhou

Falling in love with snowboarding on a family trip to Japan when she was only four years old, Patti Zhou’s future shines bright.

With her destiny in focus, Zhou’s parents settled in Summit County, Colorado to have quick access to Woodward Copper’s legendary park setup. When the pandemic hit in 2020, Zhou wasn’t able to travel and chase powder, but as luck would have it, she became neighbors with legendary snowboarder Torstein Horgmo and now calls Woodward Copper her home resort.

At only 11 years old, Zhou was invited to the 2023 Dew Tour Halfpipe and Modified Street Style events at Copper Mountain. Inking endorsement deals with Burton, Oakley, Sun Bum and Woodward Copper, Zhou’s just getting started.

Hitting the action sports’ trifecta, she not only excels on a snowboard, but rips at surfing and skateboarding. And when it’s not snowing, you may find her searching for surf in Bali, pushing performance limits in the Waco wave pool or just hanging with younger sister Yuki.
