They came out like 2 years ago at this point and still no official reviews from here, Blister, or anywhere...???
The only thing I could find was a First Impressions video by Skiessentials.
Anybody here skied any of them?

talked to some homies at a ski shop last year that tested them, they said they felt quite like the old CT from faction. soft but chargey type deal. think they are pretty damp as well

I might say bullshit but it’s pretty close to faction if it’s not exactly the same shape and core (never tried, only what I eard from a local shop who sell them)

Yeah they're somewhat similar to the CT's but that's a given considering they are made for the same guy.
The BC111 is basically a Faction "CT3.5", a medium between the ct3.0 and the ct4.0
Idrk how the other two Candide skis stack up against their Faction counterparts

All the people who bought the all white pow skis are still looking for their ski after they fell in a foot of pow

I feel like his brands haven’t taken off at all, there’s no marketing and essentially just candide promoting the skis and outerwear. he’s always more or less avoided the spotlight his entire career too. From a business standpoint just always seemed odd to me.
