It's official, Candide Thovex has won the 2018 Powder Awards Skier of The Year award for the third year in a row. 

A massive congratulations goes out to the master from Balme for another well-deserved accolade, recognising yet another year where we have had the privilege to watch and support Candide take his skiing to a new levels, always bringing his fresh and unique perspective on freeskiing.

Candide took his skiing to impossible places again in 2018, most notably with the release of his "Ski The World" video project (below) in which Candide tears up all conditions on every corner of the earth - all except for snow. Candide slashes wind-lips of volcanic ash, airs out double backflips to rock landings and tail drags his way down the great wall of China at full speed.

The video broke the internet, racking up over 60 million views and winning five prestigious Cannes Lions. We know you've seen it, but it's definitely worth another watch.
