With his pioneering expeditions and mind-blowing movie footage, Xavier is a deservedly popular and well-respected icon in the world of snowboarding. He has evolved from a world-class competition athlete to the star of spectacular snowboarding movies and is now transforming his approach once again
by experimenting with innovative ways to film his adventures.

A freerider who loves to hammer down big, steep mountains at rapid speeds, Xavier describes his style as “fast and furious.” He started out in competition, winning the boardercross world championship in 2003 and 2007 and multiple X Games gold medals. For three years in succession (2008, 2009 and 2010) he was the snowboard freeride world champion, and he was twice awarded ‘best line’ of the freeride world tour (for both snowboard and ski).

However, it is through his stunning movie appearances that Xavier has become a real hero of his sport. His life goals have always been to travel to beautiful places and to challenge himself in new environments and snowboarding has given him a ticket to do just that.

Based in Verbier, Switzerland, when not on the road for filming, Xavier is a fan of the outdoors, he also loves climbing, surfing and mountain biking, but he is happiest when charging down big mountains.
