Lives Of The Artists: Xavier De Le Rue

One of my favorite snowboarders and people to photograph Xavier comes through here with a beautiful segment in the new film Lives of the Artists. A experienced mountaineer Xavier is humble in his expression of himself, truely the anti-hero of mainstream snowboard culture.

I had the fortune to travel with Xavier through the Alps, hiking and heli-boarding through 4 countries. We solved the worlds problems late one night in La Grave. I'm ashamed I can't recall the exact formula we worked up... but it was all based on the simplicity of a turn.

All jest aside a profound experience to share the essence of Frenchman in one of the most revered mountain towns in the world.
