Candide Thovex navigates the steep, grassy slopes of the French Alps to pioneer high-speed freestyle skiing without any snow. He carves through dirt and traverses rocky outcrops with the same fluidity usually reserved for deep powder.

Sharp turns and fast-paced lines showcase the technical demands of this rugged all-terrain discipline. Mountain conditions in the fall provided a challenging backdrop for filming dynamic sequences on unconventional surfaces.

The tribute made sense because Thovex’s career has never belonged to one lane.... Read more on the Athlete page
