If you oft find yourself shredding in fresh, soft snow and demand playful performance from your ski, then you may have a match in the Candide 3.0—designed with input from Candide Thovex himself. This ski boasts a balsa and flax core that keeps weight on the DL and provides dampness in your ride. Rocker and taper in the tips and tails provide for on-a-dime handling in powder and crud. “I haven’t had this much fun flexing and buttering a ski in years,” said one tester. Sandwich sidewall construction also provides excellent edge hold and Titanal reinforcement brings power and torsional stability to the table. One tester went so far as to say, “Perfect for going full-send. The perfect one-ski-quiver for the freestyle-minded shredder.”
