X like... Winter X Games Europe!
Xavier Bertoni, the half-pipe multi medal winner (Silver medal at winter X Games Europe Tignes and bronze medal at Winter X Games 14) is riding under Tignes' colors from now on. A perfect occasion for him to train "at home" on a playground fitted to his talent.
Born to ride!
After a few seasons in alpine ski, Xavier decides to go freestyle, and concentrated particularly on half-pipe. A discipline he surely masters: he's only 21, but he already won France Championship in 2006, the NZ Open in 2007, the World Cup in 2009, as well as a gold medal at Winter X Games 13 in 2009, a bronze medal at Winter X Games 14 in 2010 and a silver medal at Winter X Games Europe Tignes! Nothing less!
