The North Face announced that snowboarder David Carrier-Porcheron, commonly known as DCP, has joined its athlete team. The North Face has a team of more than 60 professional global athletes which includes snowboarders, skiers, rock climbers, mountaineers, and endurance runners.
“DCP embodies the passion of The North Face,” said Aaron Carpenter, vice president of marketing for The North Face. “Not only does he inspire others to explore, he is paving the way for future generations. He pushes the envelope with his riding style, and remains rooted to his outdoor and environmental passions.”
DCP, who has been snowboarding for more than 18 years, has starred in films by Kingpin, Treetop, The Gathering Collective and Mack Dawg Productions. In addition, DCP has been featured on the Weather Channels popular show, “Epic Conditions.” Though filming is his primary focus, DCP took third place in the 2008 Quicksilver Natural Selection: All Mountain Invitational at Jackson Hole.
“Change is good and very exciting,” said DCP. “It is a perfect alignment to work with a company that focuses its products on what snowboard athletes need and demand. I will be working alongside The North Faces RD&D teams to help develop and create advanced products and collections.”
Canadian-born DCP splits his time between Squamish, British Columbia, Vail, Colorado, and Costa Rica, with his wife and daughter. An avid surfer, with the 2008 Quebec Open title (surfing) under his belt, DCP also skateboards and mountain bikes.
