Watch: Candide Thovex defies gravity

About the Author: Bryn Davies

I’ve worked for Adventurize Media for nine years now, though I took a hiatus in 2011 to ski guide in Meribel. I’ve always chased adventure and I climbed the Eiger when I was 15, and Mont Blanc the year after. Having seen glimpses of the beauty that this planet has to offer, I've made it my mission to explore and experience as much of it as possible.

French professional skier, Candide Thovex, is known for his creative freestyle approach and utter fearlessness. Watch him take on some of the tightest canyons in Cranz Montana, Switzerland, and leap a ski lodge like one of Santa’s reindeer.
