Pat Burgener + The Woodgies
Pat Burgener is a professional snowboarder and musician from Switzerland. Gifted with an extraordinary talent on snow since his childhood, he joined the Swiss national team at the age of 14. His ambition had opened the doors to the top flight and
catapulted him into the top 3 on many occasions. However, fate spares no man, and like many top-level athletes Pat got injured. After a
snowboarding injury in 2014, Pat used the time off the snow to work on his second passion, music. He teamed up with his brother Max and a childhood friend to create his own band.
Meeting a great success with his first singles, Pat played at world-class venues like the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Paléo. His come back on snow has been full of high notes including two podiums at the World Championships in 2017 and 2019 and an amazing 5th place at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. ‘Music has been helping me to find my inner balance, which is the key when it comes to become a better version of yourself in any fields’ Pat says. After 4 EPs, his debut album (PAT The Album, 2023) and more than 14 million streams on Spotify, Pat is currently working on an ambitious collaboration album with some of his favourite artists. With those featurings, Pat would like to put under the spotlight those who inspire him along his journey. The first singles featured guest stars Sean Koch, James Hersey and Tay Oskee.
On the snowboarding side, Pat is focused on the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina, determined to reach his Olympic podium dream.
