Freeskiing Coverage in France?

With Kevin and Xavier sitting on the X-games superpipe podium and Candide taking first in a leg of the FWT I was wondering if anyone knew if these skiers were getting any kind of major media coverage in France. It would be interesting to see if more and more great French skiers get away from their traditional mountaineering/steep skiing and take up park or a more Freeride style~

Hey
So, I remembered when Candide won X games slopestyle back in 2007 if im not wrong, they talked a little bit about him, Im mean one time on the main channel at the evening news, then a little bit during the sports news, but nothing too much.
I dont remember hearing anything when Xavier won last year X games pipe, and I havent heard anything lately about what they did with Kevin this year at X..
Probably a quick report like 1 minute about it but nothing more...
I guess CoreUPT could push into that way and attract major medias to freesking, for example a short report has been made and broadcast on the news about Red Bull Linecaster and Richard Permin.
I do hope Euro X games will bring freeskiing on the major medias, but actually, it's really really really limited...
