Best well rounded skier on Earth right now. The dude has been on FIRE lately with the drop of the last two faction edits. He has gone bigger than any other skier since he rose to the top at the turn of the millenia

Oh look here's Candide, clearing Chad's Gap for the first time in history

Oh shit looks like that's going to be the end up Candide's career...

Nope I'll just come back with a vengeance after a couple years and place myself on top of the big mountain game.

Candide is one of the biggest bosses ever and undoubtedly one of my favorite skiers but him and Tanner are BOTH in the running for GOAT.

I believe this will be one of the best Ski Gabber threads of all time. Simply because it's all about Candide.

I saw Few Words a week ago and I have to say it's one of the sickest movies I've ever seen. Probably the best. It's got some of the best shots I've ever seen. It's a MUST WATCH

Here are the two most recent faction edits with him in them. I think the second one is particularly impressive. Good edits all around too
