I'm pretty sure the only difference between them is that candides have an extra layer of fiberglass, making them a little stiffer.

Candide's do have an extra layer of fiberglass. I've heard it from several shops and if you feel the flex, they are definately a bit stiffer.

yea i bet that grip tape stuff increases the performance of the ski 10 fold.

Funny how massive corporations and media giants like NBC refuse to support new skiing events like big air and big mountian, yet they use the latter's image to enhance their own. Actually, not so funny. Suck it, NBC.

The grip tape on the Candide's sucks in mid winter cuz it gets all iced up and slippery .. but who really cares.. do the stylish thing and grab under the ski not just the topsheet

Concepts are awesome. I have two pairs, 2001's with tele and 2002's with alpine bindings. they are the best ski I have used in the park (also used 1080, mcT) . the flex is perfect for me (~160lbs) and they work well on all kinds of hits and in the pipe.

a super stable ski on groomers, pretty good in moguls, and good in the powder. I haven't broken a pair yet and I break EVERY ski that I have used, 1080 and McT included.

they are the best value of all the twin tips at $400.

fuck no. the OG candides are the most important ski like, EVER! the only worthwhile bump i ever saw. i gave the bumperer a 10 for karma just for making me think of the OG candides for 20 seconds.

i made my ski shop in verbier order them in from france when i was like 11 years old. did school racing events on them. my coaches thought i was so cool. booyah!
