By:jstifter / Posted on August 6, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE X Games 13 Gold Medalist, Xavier Bertoni Signs with Orage (Montreal, QC – August 6, 2009) ‐ Hot off the press with wet ink still on the paper, Orage is proud to announce French superpipe phenom, and Winter X Gold Medalist, Xavier Bertoni as the newest member of the Orage Pro Team. Hailing from La Clusaz, France, Xavier joins fellow X Games 13 Slopestyle Gold Medalist and veteran Orage athlete TJ Schiller, along with Phil Casabon, JP Auclair and Michelle Parker to round out what is now one of skiing’s most diverse international teams. Xavier is no stranger to Orage and the brands presence throughout the global freeski scene. “We’ve had our eyes on Xavier for a few years now stretching back to ‘07 – ‘08 when Xavier took home the silver medal at the Orage European Freeski Open in Laax, Switzerland,” comments Mike Nick, Orage Marketing Director. Xavier’s been on the scene for a few years now but officially launched himself into the big leagues last season at the Winter X Superpipe event where he put pressure on, and ultimately introduced some of skiing’s biggest names to podium spots they were not at all accustomed to. In a showdown of epic proportions Xavier threw down three flawless runs to outdo the likes of Simon Dumont and Tanner Hall taking home his (Bertoni’s) first X Games Gold. There’s a new breed of pipe skiers on the scene and Xavier’s one of the best. With a huge bag of tricks and the rocket boosters to match, Bertoni will spend his summer in New Zealand training for a jam packed comp season to come. Included in the deal, Orage and Bertoni have begun working on Xavier’s first signature model outfit slated to hit stores in 2010. For more on Xavier Bertoni visit www.Orage.com and follow him along the 2009 – 2010 competition circuit with stops at The Orage European Freeski Open, Winter X 14, The Dew Tour, The European X Games, The Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival and many more. ### Orage is a clothing brand based on life and style.
