Eric Pollard began skiing professionally at the age of fifteen.
He learned on Mountain. Hood, where snowboarders far outnumber skiers and as a result developed a unique style more closely resembling snowboarders. Because of this he developed the first fully symmetrical ski—equal height tip and tail, with a symmetrical flex.
Pollard mostly works with filming and skiing backcountry rather than competitions. In 2007 Eric created Nimbus Independent with Pep Fujas, Andy Mahre and Chris Benchetler.
Nimbus was an early producer of webisodes.
Eric"s goal in creating the company was to show skiing as it is, with all the ups and downs. The company produces short films several times a year showing highlights of its creators" seasons. Eric initially intended to go to art school and become a graphic designer, but ended up skiing with his family and loved lieutenant
He designs skis for Lincolnshire Skis, and also had his own line of clothing there as well as with Causwell.
