One of the best and one of the most underated ski comps is about to kick off in la clusaz, france. However no one knows anything about it. Do we even know if newschoolers will have a reporter over here in Europe. The combination of the set up at la clusaz / candide / and live reggae music sounds insane!

Confirmed riders so far: Jon Olsson, JF Houle, Charles Gagnier, Sammy Carlson, Jossi Wells, Peter Olenick, Colby West, Simon Dumont et al.

Official website is: http://www.candide-invitational.com/

i think people need to realize that the candide is not a comp, its more like a superpark where people film on rediculously huge features and i think the reason people need to be invited is because the features are way too huge and you might die if dont know what youre doing.

oh and does anyone know what the features are this year?

so its going on now and haven't heard of any coverage from NS, it should be just as big of a deal as JOSS minus the edit comp

Since this year the CI is a comp with 30 000 $ prize money.  Now candide wants to make his event an international one and so he has invited 30 peoples of several countries: look at http://www.candide-invitational.com/
