Just thinking back of all the incredible ski clips that came out during winter 2023/2024 and remembered this incredible terrain feature that the legend of all legends Mr. Candide Thovex sessioned at his home ski resort Tignes in the French Alps. Candide has carte blanche to build kickers at the resort for filming purposes and this one that took him through a natural arch was truly unforgettable. Check out these 3 videos of Candide threading the eye of the needle including an overshoot that landed him 173 downslope. Also we should note that Candide is no spring chicken and was 41-years-old at the time this was filmed:
