Mind blown again. So sick to watch. No fresh snow, just straight up bangers.
🤙Salut Rémy, good to see u here!
Time for a helmet Candide! No swag lost I promise! Absolute Banger.
lmao
Stop poaching views
Yeah he has no autocontrol, may end up im hospital
The simplicity of his videos is amazing
No music, just natural sounds
@@ovation1k wldnt be so sure the sounds r natural. They might be recreated but I’m not sure Cus they sound too crisp to be real
@@sageenraged8879 I think they have a mic set up close to the ground to get the sound of his skis touching the ground. I am not too sure tho.
@@gegon286that’s possible but idk how they wld get rid of wind noise and other unwanted sounds like skis colliding n stuff
@@gegon286 Cus Ik for mountain bike vids for redbull they often recreate the sounds in a studio
The lack of background music is a brilliant complement to the skiing.
This x1,000. So much better this way. Sick video
Yes , thank you 🙏
People are obsequious no matter what the video is. It’s so bizarre
@@MrShanester117 What makes you say that?
@@MrShanester117 Why is that bizarre?
I appreciate the lack of music. For me that's what I love about it. The silence, nothing but the sound of skis on snow. Absolute serenity.
The skiing absolute perfection. 10/10
Agreed. Sometimes I think it takes away from the skiing itself. Also that sound is soooooooo satisfying
@@homemadefilms5718 100% Agree. I.... miss it lol
Yes you’re so right, beautiful run.
the sound was probably added in later, though. for example at 1:59, you don't hear the cameraman at all. awesome result, though. super satisfying.
Skis on ice.
I’ve got to say, with how common and popular it is to have loud music over your videos, the fact that Candide Thovex is putting these edits out with nothing but the sounds of him skiing is pretty groundbreaking. Not that it’s never been done before but it’s more so pointing out that something as pure is skiing doesn’t need to be broadcasted with extra fluff. As it said in other CZcams comments on this video, this edit is truly simple and highlights the aspects of skiing I truly love.
Perfection needs to be heard!!!!!
And very intentional . There is a "clap" of skis against that rock...
@@vibratingstring 0:31 backy into the chute quick jump turn to the wall little rock tap
Perfectly stated
ground slicing*
I love the focus on the skiing that his videos show. The sound of the skiis on the snow, the sounds of landing and the anticipating silence when he's in the air. Amazing, love it
Skiing the bumps straight and fast like that was most impressive out of them all.
agreed
really not the double backflip over a house
Technically, the house is pièce of cake!! For Thovex i mean@@bartholemew4362
@@bartholemew4362 don't get me wrong, that double back was absolutely huge - but the technical aspect of bombing moguls and not eating shit like Candide did here is truly special. the split second decisions to absorb with/push out your legs is crazy. it was the only moment of the video that got me to laugh out loud in amazement, even though everything in this clip is some of the raddest skiing the world has ever seen.
@@PyroTechGamerAgreed, as a snowboarder watching someone go 60 mph across a huge, pretty firm mogul field is insane. There’s no way I could hold it together going full speed across a mogul field that size.
I been watching Sking on TV since 1974 and this is mind blowing to see how far the sport has been pushed. This is amazing and it is shocking how many times the man puts himself in real danger. I am truly impressed
Tbh skis themselves have changed dramatically. I learnt to skinin the early 1990’s and skis of today are about a million times easier to ski on than the one of thirty years ago.
I have to agree with you Richard! The double gainer over the house and the twists were on a next level that I have never seen before! The perfect X on his skis was very impressive! I am not a skier… was to poor growing up. My dad kept me in rags and I had to work my ass off! Even after I got hurt in the United States Navy he refused to really help me. When he died I was told he had well over 300K saved up? No idea I never saw a penny of it which is fine by me! What I have I have earned! When your very blood hates you and does everything they can do keep you down! Yes my family, dad, brother and sister, minus my mom signed and swore under oath that I was faking it but there was to much medical evidence that provided them wrong! They put a lot of pressure on mom but she never broke! Dad’s gone, 11 months there about after mom died of cancer he supposedly offed himself? I spent $7500 to get my 1/3 of mom’s settlement from her cancer settlement. Some of the best $$$ I have ever spent in my lifetime! I picked the right man to do the job! @$250 per hour in 2005/~07? I think? Pain meds make remembering anything impossible! All I know and care about is he got the job done and I didn’t have to do anything else dealing with my so called brother and sister! They wanted it all or most of it. They got everything else and that’s fine with me! Thank goodness I don’t have to have anything else to do with them nor their offspring!
Because of my military service I am one very hard man to find! Thank goodness for that! I am so hard to find my drivers license doesn’t work when the cops run it! My tags works for law enforcement and my social security number… then they both are followed with a call when ran…
As far as I know there are No pictures of my ugliness is on the internet…
Here I thought I was full of spit and piss when I was younger! Well this man just showed me up! My hats off to you sir if your reading this! You truly have a big set of 50# brass 🥜!
@@nomerc3608 great read....I read it all. Thanks 😊
@@nomerc3608 That story took some turns I didn't expect, lol. Glad you' have no strings with your "family" anymore. Sorry about your mother.
I would say it's mostly the recording equipment that got so much better, cheaper and smaller.
All you need is a cheap action cam (300 euro) and a drone (500 euro) to make the most insane shots in 4k anywhere on the mountain - something that wasn't possible just 15 years ago, even though ski equipment hasn't changed that much.
It the 70s you would need a 35mm cine camera, with a helicopter to get anything remotely comparable.
The way he continues to keep his twigs together is amazing.
He’s style is unique
Twigs?

This man has no limits 🙌
Keep being Candide Thovex, brother.
Was just recently watching some Jesper Tjader and Marcus Eder's tip-of-the-hat to Candide's One of Those Days series...but with all due respect, there is something special about the way Candide Thovex skis. He has an extraordinary control of his feet--his skis never seem to chatter. And the strength he has, as seen by him plowing full-tilt through an extend mogul field...I do not see how his joints just keep going. He has a balance and gracefulness at high speed that is unique as well. There are a lot of great skiers out there. But this man is unique in my opinion.
I love how his knees always stay together. I try to mimic his style when jumping but to stay in control like that, it's just insanely hard. I will always style my skis after you, THE GOAT.
Yup, his knees and skis are always neatly tucked together, legs like steel springs. Such clean style!!!
This is what i want from action sports filmmaking. No weird glitchy edits, no awful fisheye lenses, no corporate EDM blasting, just the sound of the equipment and some legit skiing
Yeah it's definitely not CGI or anything.
the camera skips at a few points, like the framerate gets too low
@@geneharper7535 yes that happens a lot with CGI like this.
@@shealdedmon7027 What was CGI ?
@@300cats pretty much the whole video.
Watching Candide ski is like watching art. It's pure.
No hype, no CGI, no bullshit. Just straight gettin' it! Noice!!
Nope not any CGI all perfectly legit, 100 percent real. It couldn't get any more real. Nothing fake about it. Perfect in every way . Nobody could fool you ever.
He's right, that is pretty tight
Candide plays in the mountains like a squirrel does in the trees. It's amazing to watch :)
I like this analogy
@@waylonk2453 I like this comment about the analogy that I also like 👍
105 impressive seconds. But that mogul run at 1:01 just mind boggling!
the bumps are too slow for him
Seriously! How!? Just HOW!???
My knees are crying while I watch that
@@robertbjorklund62 Fun fact : he started his ski career skiing moguls, but he rapidly switched to freestyle skiing
Mais ce garrrrrs..
Neat how long this guy's been at the forefront, while generations of new skiers have come in and out of the spotlight. When I was like 12 he was one of the old-school skiers. Now even more so, yet he still has figured out how to put himself at the forefront of the sport with these creative edits these last few years. Impressive af
Candide Thovex videos always make me wanna hit the mountains. Every. Single. Time. Amazing feeling from watching this.
Keep doing your thing bro!
Just got done watching this video and I said out loud, “time to pack up my skis and hit the mountains”. And the double back flip over the cabin…well I shouldn’t use those expletives in the comments. Made my jaw drop.
Candide Thovex - those 2 words, are enough and all you ever have to say!! Crushing it Next Level as Always!! Respect!!
Wow. Candide is just different from the rest. So creative. So impressive. Phenomenal work. Keep these videos coming, PLEASE.
Wow! Absolutely stunning to see how good he is at skiing! Have never seen anything like this before! So awesome! ❤
As someone who sits at home all my life, I sometimes forget that stuff like this is even possible and that people just do this as a hobby. I cannot physically imagine ever being able to do this kind of this, insane skill, keep living the dream 💪
The difference in skill and athleticism among all of human kind is actually quite amazing. Comparing the lifestyle of a sedentary person to this skier, for example, it's almost like they're different species
Stop being anxious about it and go do something. Kayak. Go to a museum. Get a jiu jitsu Coupon.
You're only young once
@Tony well then maybe skip the jiu jitsu part.
I live in Colorado and ski frequently. By Colorado standards I am an OK skier. At 56 getting older, but I can get down double blacks, maybe not pretty, but I can get down them. And I still feel the same way you do watching this video, it seems beyond human capabilities, but obviously some talented, skilled and practiced humans can do it. Amazing.
that's not a hobby, Candide is a seasoned pro...
You are the best and most loved and appreciated skier of all time.
J'adore. Bravo à l'équipe qui met en lumière le talent de Candide avec des spots différents et des prises de vue stylées.
So glad for you young people to be out sharing their crazy adventures for us old folks that wish we were young and strong doing this ourselves man what a rush
Love skiing, LOVE it ! So this is out of control !!
Candide never fails to impress, always amazing to watch!
Le Meilleur skieur au monde , incontestablement ! Et chapeau pour le pilote du drone , c'est super fluide !!!
I remember seeing the video of Candide straight airing the hip at super park in early 2000s and it blew my frickin mind. Now hes making making these videos that are truly creative works of art. Best skier ever.
One of the most amazing ski videos ever.
He never disappointed me.
LOVE the simplicity / minimal editing / no music, and of course the skiing! And wow what a wonderful off pist track.
This is insane...WOW and incredibly beautiful!!! I am in awe! Thank you for not spoiling this video with music! 😎🙏
Absolutely the best run I’ve seen! Amazing!
Prise de risque incroyable, précision et talent immense, Candide est la définition de la maîtrise...😍😍😍🇨🇵
Amazing video. Been skiing Crans for 50 years but never saw anyone attempting such stuff. Massive ability and tremendous creativity.
that looks like some incredible skiing holy moly. i want to go there
OUTSTANDING!
whole lot of talent going on here!
I PRAY the Drone operators were paid Extremely well as well as the Hero.
I just picked up skiing again after over a decade and the algorithm has blessed me... Wow Candide, amazing skills and you make this all look so effortless. Love how calm and peaceful your videos are too :)
I could watch this guy for hours! What a Legend 🔥🔥🔥
Just watching this is a heart starter! And the noise - authentic and gripping. Wow! 🥂
I keep coming back to watch this masterpiece!
As a math nerd and vacation skier, I would love to see a video on the logistics of planning this :)
IN-SANE. 🤯
His skiing is just superhuman.
Absolutely amazing! Straightlining through that mogul field flat out! 😲
My knees could never and yet he's a good 10+ years older than me, crazy stuff
Yep. That was the most impressive bit. Insane. (I just read that and, no , I am not being sarcastic. It was crazy how he blasted right through those icy moguls.)
Yeah that part - about the only thing in the video I could relate to. So impressive!
@@MyGoogleCZcams Ha, me as well. That mogul field was massive, too!
@@waylonk2453 Probably seems smaller when you're going half the speed of sound 😳
Impossible not to hit the replay button at least once.
Always great to watch a master doing something masterfully.
Amazing talent, thanks a lot for taking us with you!
Amazing. Breath-taking skiing, camera work and editing.
I can just tell how fun that would be if you were that good at skiing like him
if...
Is the amount of practice to get there also fun?
@@rn9940 probably partially
I watch this type of content often and this is the most impressive video ever. It doesn't even look like you're skiing. It's another level
the fact that this video has no music and is still amazingly incredible should be known by all
juste dingue comme d'hab ...le double back est juste ENORME ,dommage que le télésiège ne soit pas bondé de gens qui hurlent ...félicitations également pour les images incroyables ,pilote du drone ,montage ...👍👍👍
Ne soit pas
@@benenduro1767 merci
C’est encore plus beau quand il est seul
I was almost as amazed at the photography as I was the skiing.
not often i watch a ski vid and just nope the entire line. That was some gnarly skiing and beautiful filming
This man is the closest thing to an actual super hero. Man, how exciting to watch!
J'adore le montage de la vidéo pas de blabla, pas de musique, une superbe qualité sonore ! Les images sont impeccables aussi avec des plans vraiment sympa
How relaxing and inspiring is the sound of the skis on the snow. Great idea!
I am guessing he wants to break his last Faction pair 😁
I would love to see him double for James Bond in a film . Loved seeing the george lazenby and Roger Moore films with ski sequences
This is an audible delight, amen to the sound editor!
What an animal - guy is about to turn over the big 4-0 and he's still the best skier alive, upping the ante each year.
I used to ski like that in my dreams.
Love it, so nice to watch and great effort by Candide and the team!
This truly shows the joy of skiing
It's both simple and of great quality. All the shots are amazing, some of them are incredible. At every new video there is something I've never seen before (although I don't pretend I've seen everything :p), so creative. Big up Candid et l'équipe !
Merci ! Tu nous régales, c'est tellement beau, bravo. Keep going, be safe. 😘
At first thought that is perhaps the most incredible ski run I have ever seen. When I skied a lot, well before the internet, I go see Warren Miller films. Pretty incredible stuff. Well, I thought so at the time. This? Fantastic.
I've never skied, but if I could , I would want to ski like that. That was so awesome. That is really living.
J'aime ça!!! Incroyable!! Candide your flow down the mountain is unparalleled, creative use of every aspect of the mountain, great filming, so fun to watch as always!! 😎😎😎
Putain Candide fait parler français ! C'est bon ça. Glad that your wrote two words in french : Even with no talk, Candide can export our language, what a guy😁
Toujours aussi impressionnant
Smoothest skier on the planet. Love watching him!
The technique, skill and strength required to perform like this in such snow is admirable.
Magnifique vidéo avec des tricks toujours aussi incroyable 🔥👍👌😱
I've never seen anything like this😳 Amazing!
just wow! spectacular. and my knees are hurting in sympathy.
Il existe rien de mieux sur la plenète ski 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 Big Up Candide
Candide, as usual you are incredible but this one, elle déchire grave!!!
Holy spring skiing Batman. I love the rocks and the flow. Nicccce.
Absolutely amazing !!!!!
My man's a downright inspiration to be as smooth and fluid as possible every time I ski. I am determined to ski moguls with the sheer energy and commitment this man has.
Phenomenal video as always.
He wasn’t skiing the moguls. Just skimming. I’d like to see him ski moguls though, about the only thing I’ve never seen him do.
That was amazing!! Love the high speed rip through the mogul field!!
@@mlcbconf I avoid those things at all costs!!
@@mlcbconf There are two ways to take moguls : either extremely slow or extremely fast. The worst way is middle speed ! Slow one is safer though - but Candide has no « slow » button
@@LorenzoDeLeon you're absolutely right! Snowboarder here, and unfortunately, I'm on permanent slow mode when it comes to moguls 😂
@@tbex613 I do both - skis and snowboard. In a mogul field, in my heydays, I would have tried a straight fast line on skis, weighing 60kg helped. Now at 51 years old and 25 more kg, I would gently slide by till the next terrace having a coffee :-) On snowboard however, young or old, I’d stay away at all costs and at any age !
Enorme, bravo, quel kiffe !!! 😉♥️
My fav skiing video of all time.
I don't even ski & im in awe. Absolute mad man 💪
Not in the least surprised you don't ski - couldn't even make the effort to type 'and'.. 😛
@@ClaimOfRightMuso bruh
soooo sick!
Yesssssssss
This is madness. Love it.
man i wait for your footage every winter and never disapoints
That relaxed style... 👌
Le double back est haaaaaallucinant!! 🤙🤙🤙
this is by far the best skiing video out to date
This gives me ssx vibes and I never thought anything in those games were remotely possible. Fantastic work man.
Super vidéo vraiment impressionnant 👏
What is truely remarkable is how they discovered and laid out this run in advance! I don't think Candid is going to enjoy growing old.
without words... a fenomenal skier
Prob the coolest ski clip I’ve ever seen
Очень Круто!Флюидность Невероятная!👍😀
La colonne vertébrale bionique a l’air de toujours fonctionner!

A mon avis ils ont mis des ressorts voir une suspension…

Speechless. Thank you for sharing.
I just dont getting how human can achieve that. What kind of training makes someone able to do such a feats of balance, coordination and bravery. Absolutely mind blowing!!
1:03 look how his upper body is completely still while bombing that mogul field. His lower body absorption reflexes are absurd.
