Alternatively known as 'The Don', (which perhaps says it all), professional snowboarder John Paul Walker has been at the forefront of his sport since the 1990's.

With a long list of accolades, awards, snowboarding firsts, movies and signature products this legend is amongst winter sports most recognised personalities. Returning to filming after a few years absence, JP is currently in Avoriaz with the ThirtyTwo team to film a new movie called 2032.

Having been voted Snowboarder magazine’s 'Rider of the Year' six times (more than any other rider in history), he is popular with fans and peers alike. JP’s ultimate goal is "to continue to push the progression of snowboarding to unexpected heights, primarily through his passion and dedication to the sport."

So if you see anyone hiking up the sloped roofs of the Avoriaz skyline, or hucking some cliffs that only the superhuman would attempt then you can pretty sure that it will be JP and his buddies having some fun! Keep an eye on his updates here.
