“For me life is about experiencing, learning, evolving, and never stopping to push myself. This is my recipe for being happy, having a purpose for my life.”
From competition champion to freeride pioneer
Xavier’s journey is marked by explosive talent and constant evolution. After claiming world championships in boardercross and earning multiple X Games golds, he conquered the Freeride World Tour for three consecutive years. But it’s his groundbreaking expeditions and mind-blowing film projects that have solidified his status as a true snow sports icon.
Sharing the stoke with the next generation
Xavier’s passion for snowboarding now extends beyond his own remarkable achievements. Through his YouTube channel “How to XV” and innovative projects like “Roamer”, he generously shares his extensive wealth of mountain knowledge while inspiring a sustainable approach to adventure and respect for nature. And in a historic Proteam first, he’s even bringing his daughter Mila along for the ride.
“I love to see something that seems impossible and make it possible.”
Pushing limits with Swatch
Xavier’s quarter-century journey with the Swatch Proteam reflects our shared excitement for the joys of life. His bold approach to riding the world’s most challenging terrain perfectly matches our drive for self-expression and pushing creative boundaries.
