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 :-)

A few people posted this on Facebook yesterday. Whilst he's obviously very talented, something about it not being on snow means it just doesn't do it for me - I gave up after a minute Puzzled

it seems that he used standard skis for all shots except where he is surfing the waves, where you can see they have had bouyancy aids fitted. And apparently he only wore out one ski for the whole trip.

I love the bit at the end where he gets on the ski lift and goes back up again Laughing

@jonm, seconded. I love watching him ski, but this one seemed a bit joyless. First Candide bit I haven't watched all the way through.

There is a bit where he does a 360 off the grassy roof of an old sheperd's hut while he's coming down the hill, they had all sheltered in that hut from the rain the night before so he just decided to include it in the run.

The terrain I recognised definitely wasn't done by CGI.

Incredible video.

I know there's no snow but how many Vids are there of snow.

Love how there's no music ruining it. Good bit of humour throughout and some cracking skills.

End is hilarious Happy

Enjoyed it but have to ask the question why is he not at the olympics. Surely the slopestyle would be right up his street

He's a past X-Games and Freeride world tour winner! I think he's just a bit old/broken for the Olympics after breaking his back previously maybe?
This is a feature film about him:

The Olympix aren't big enough for Candide but his sis was in the snowboard halfpipe final IIRC. His time would have been in the early 2000s when I actually saw him at Superpark in Mammoth going over booters bigger than a 3 story house.
