CHRISTOPHER PETE

President @ Vertical Brands

With over 25 years in the outdoor industry, I’ve helped lead companies that build technical outerwear for some of the most elite brands in the world. As a seasoned PSIA alpine skier and snowboarder, I now enjoy cruising with friends and family on deep, sunny days. In the off-season, you can find me fly fishing the brook in my backyard or mountain biking on the local single-track trails. My ideal summer day is kayaking around Lake George with my wife, Karina, and our two dachshunds. Lately, I’ve been focused on supporting the WPST in any way possible, helping position it for continued success. I look forward to seeing you on the mountain!
