JPV was able to successfully set a new world record for highest air in a superpipe on skis, launching 8.04 meters (26 ft, 3 in) above the deck of a pristinely cut, 22-foot superpipe. The world record was previously held by Peter Olenick of Carbondale, CO; Olenick set a record of 7.58 meters (24 ft, 11 in) on January 31, 2010, during the first-ever X Games High Air contest in Aspen, CO.

Simon D'Artois in Mountain Life Magazine
Here are some photos from a shoot I did last March with the Giro half-pipe team in Tignes, France. Simon won the X Games that year and redid his winning run, still drunk from the night before, so the cinematographer could get the shoot. It was quite honestly flawless and he was really run. So classic. Simon is such a creative and humble dude. Happy to see him land some pages in this magazine.

I was blessed to be given an opportunity to do a look book shoot for the Giro team at Tignes France. Here is a great shot featuring Simon d'Artois.
Simon d'Artois is a famous Canadian skier. He's included in the Canadian National Halfpipe team. To many, he's probably known best for winning a gold medal for the Men's SuperPipe at the recently held Winter X Games XIX. He's an all-around, grateful, awesome dude and it was an honor working with him!
