Sick, but I will say this: Candide is not a park skier turned big mountain skier.  There was a shot of him hucking a gnarly 40-50' cliff in La Grave in Powder magazine back when he was about 17.  He's always been versatile; we just weren't exposed to that side of him.

none of the above matters. not compared to candide beating the likes of kaj in chamonix.

It's good to see him back in the saddle. What a BAD ASS!

Candide is the best alive.  If he stays healthy there will be a lot more to come.  -(claim)  Cant hype him enough.  I owe all of my blunt grabs to him.

I would say 'rules the big mountain world' might be a bit strong, but this is still awesome.  I am truly impressed.  Winning a big mountain contest in Chamonix impresses me more than anything done in the x-games. 

The guy above who said that Candide is not a park skier turned big mountain skier is right.  Candide has always killed it in big mountains.
