Description

A collection of Xavier De Le Rue's favorite routes, from France to Norway, that are featured in his Mission DIY web series.

Xavier ditched the big film crew to do it all himself in DIY fashion, with no production schedules, no crazy heli trips, just a man with a van who's on a mission to score some perfect snow!

Since Xavier is one of the world's most respected freeride snowboarders, these routes are serious and only recommended for those with an advanced riding level. Most of the lines are extremely exposed, requiring ropes, crampons, and ice axes to successfully complete them.

Relive the action of these incredible adventures, and don't forget to check out the videos!

Adventures

DIY S01E05 : Unstad One

DIY: Mission Lofoten, we walked from Unstad to explore the conditions, we weren't sure what we would find over the first rise, but found a couloir to ride on the other side of the lake.

DIY S01E02: Mallory Couloir

The Mallory down the North Face of the Aiguille du Midi is an intimidating and extremely exposed "classic" of Chamonix.
