CANDIDE THOVEX || FEW WORDS

Who the hell are the 63 people who disliked this? This guy is the founding father of freeride, he's a straight up living legend. He's probably the best skier in the world to date

7 years later and this is still the best edit I’ve ever watched. True perfection.

This is the single greatest skiing movie about the single greatest skier of all time.

this is a historical document and should be shown in all schools

Watching a Candide film is a religious experience for skiers.

Hands down the best skier.

At first i thought it's too long to watch. After i've watched it i think it could have been even longer. Simply breathtaking

Amazing skills Amazing songs Amazing editing Amazing Man Amazing landscapes! This movie is just perfect, thank you for sharing this perfection for free!

Not just the greatest skier ever. One of the greatest athletes ever too. He deserves so much respect, and comparison to all the other "greatest at their sports". But watching Candide spreads more joy for me than any winner of the 100m, Tour de France or whatever else you care to name. Perhaps Messi, at his most magical, did things so absurd that he made the world laugh with pure elation. Candide is like that. Watching him is a pleasure. It makes anyone feel great.

I watch this at the beginning of every ski season to get stoked.

Candide is a legend, doing ballet in a mountain never seemed more gracious. What an inspiration for taking things to just a beautiful and crazy level. Absolute stunning movie.

Possibly the best video on youtube. 

we wanna see a mountain named after Candide Thovex....thank you

Film is ridiculously good. I'm not a boarder but I love how they gave props to the boarders. They were looking for something different and found it. Film also captures the emotional barrage of happiness I get when I ski. Sound track is great too...thanks for this film!!!

This is seriously the best ski movie i ever wacthed. It tells a beautyfull story LOVE IT<3

Candide is perhaps the best Boarder in the world... on skiis. And, the cinematography is as astounding as his skiing! Watch it again and again - what a story.

Could watch this every day.

Well, it's a shame every ski video I watch from now on will be downhill from here.

The first time I heard about Candide was when I was about 10 years old. I rented a VHS of the 1999 Winter Gravity Games and Candide won the Big Air competition against Johnny Mosley (who is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met) I was absolutely floored by Candide. I rented that VHS more times than I could count… in fact if I remember right, the rental shop had a deal where if you rented a VHS more than 20 times, you could keep it… and I think we still have it somewhere at my step mom’s house. Though I ended up snowboarding, Candide has been one of my biggest influences for wanting to get into snow sports, and now I’m a member of snowmaking leadership for a major resort in Colorado. THANK YOU CANDIDE!!!

Candide Thovex, the ski god, the legend
