Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

So Candide has just dropped his new video - also works as a great campaign for what skiing would be like if climate change has its way.

Problem is he is accelerating global warming, why does he need his own personal gas guzzling transport back to the top?

So did he actually land in the boot of the car or is that CGI? I'm just stunned if that is real.

I think I saw that he's using skis from our Faction friends. Good publicity for them. I wonder if they were custom made with titanium edges for extra sparking just like Formula 1 cars.

quite a lot of cgi and fakery I suspect. Although skiing down grassy hillsides on skis in the summer is nothing new. There were some guys on the Tour de France doing it around 2000 I think.

Congrats to the filmmaker as well as Candide.

One of those days 2 had a fair amount of CGI in it (like when he jumps off the chairlift "off-ramp" and there are people on the approaching chair) so I would imagine it's CGI.

AFAIK the only CGI is the landing in the car, the rest is quite dooable. When working for another ski maker I used to do (less gnarly) a fair bit of non snow skiing as durability testing. Grass, Slate and Coal Slag heaps, pine forest, sand etc. Crashing hurts more with no snow + turning is more difficult but you can get a nice (but scary) ride.
