XAVI FANÉ - Crested Butte, the Rockies, Colorado.
Xavier Fané was born in Barcelona, 1960.
From a very young age, he showed a concern for breaking away from tradition. This led to him to abandon his studies and set out on an adventure which is still going strong. The Pyrenean mountains helped develop his avidity towards the natural environment, leading to a professional career in mountaineering and skiing. Xavi spent time working as an experienced ski instructor in the Pyrenees and Swiss Alps and as a mountain hut guard in summer. At a later period, his thirst for new challenges further a field led him to Crested Butte, a small village in the Colorado Rockies, where he set up his home and base for adventure, in 1984.
Since 1990 he has worked as an eclectic international correspondent for numerous sport publications, including our Barrabes magazine. His profession has served as a perfect means to transmit his passion for nature and outdoor sports.
