Candide Thovex Just Did The Impossible, Again

Stop me if you've heard this before: Candide Thovex is the best skier in the world.

It's become a cliché amongst skiers. Even with Father Time ticking away and bringing the Flying Frenchman into his mid-40s, Candide keeps upping the ante.

Yesterday, March 12, 2026, Thovex published a new 5-minute video on YouTube titled "Les Tufs". In the video, Thovex rips, flips, and squeezes his way through some of the gnarliest terrain we've seen to date. The video was filmed in Tignes, France.
