I do not believe that is true. From some sources I hear he is off the team and they added JF Houle

candide sure does bounce around with sponsors. dynastar, salomon, rossignol, coreupt, now possibly something else?

Can't be true. Julien Lange and Flo Bastien don't compete at all and are on the page.

I'm thinking this was a fairly recent move, and if you know anything about the production of skis, everything is placed way ahead of time.

As the 2011-12 skis are hitting stores right now, the majority of companies are ALREADY shooting their 2012-13 ski lines for catalogs/prepping for tradeshow season. So when you think of it like that, there is no way they could change the graphics as the skis have already been ordered way ahead of time.

Hence why Coreupt had to sell Colby and TJ's models long after they left the team...

Side note: here is an interest tweet from Candide not too long ago

Volkl is losing riders left, right and center. Just hope that Russ and Ahmet will stay with them.

Uhhhh.... Candide started Coreupt and co-owns the company.

And I've yet to see a better built ski than the stuff they've made since they moved to China in 2010

He didn't start and do not own Coreupt, Guerlain Chicherit did.
I'm sure he would have never start a company with that image. Glad he's off
