92: How To Get Up After You Fall, with Xavier De Le Rue
Episode description
Xavier de le Rue is a world-renowned big mountain snowboarder raised in the Pyrenees and based in Verbier, Switzerland. This three-time Freeride World Tour champion helped establish big mountain snowboarding as we know it, systematically ticking off some of the steepest and most mind-boggling descents in the world.
His film projects include This Is My Winter, White Noise, The Sky Piercer, and you’ve seen him featured in Jeremy Jones’ Deeper, Further, Higher series or on epic magazine covers for Transworld and White Lines.
He’s also constantly pushing the boundaries of product design in the sport, leaving his innovative mark on boots, bindings, and even whistles. Now, Xavier is focusing on sharing his knowledge of the steep, gnarly, and deep in his How To XV YouTube series.
In this conversation, we get a more casual Xavier tuning in from his mountain home amid the quarantine to share candid stories, family moments, and his truest motivations.
