A Run in the Life of Candide Thovex…

SnowBrains |

This is just regular day and Candide has a jump line picked out at his home resort in France.  It’s not so different from what many of us do on a so-so day at our own home resorts.

There is one small difference from our own mini slope-style courses and Candide’s… well, there are a few small differences.  A.  This jump line seems to go on across enormous expanses for thousands of vertical feet and B.  He’s throwing double backflips, flat spins, D spins, 360s, backflips, front flips, rodeo 5s, and more all off smallerish naturalish features just lying around on the edges of runs.  The guy is even throwing 360s while going up hill and attached to the nut cracker rope tow.

Skiing slalom thru the people coming up the rope tow is kinda disrespectful….  unless it’s Candide doing it.  Then it’s kinda cool.

Damn, this video makes me wish I was Candide…

Is Candide the best skier?

  1. Freakin’ sick. Candide is untouchable. I love that he won the FWT, too and he’s considered a park guy.

Got an opinion? Let us know...
