Candide!!! La Clusaz

No not candid, CANDIDE! For all of you that don't know who he is here is a little sample of his skiing. In the world of jib skiing he is essentially at the top. He kills it. In France I think they are going to name a holiday after him. I heard that his annual invitational (link to last years) was this weekend, so with the snow not being that great I headed to La Clusaz. I arrived to a crowd of jibbers, tweeker, Frenchies, Moms with their kids....the world was there. I parked and headed up to the set-up.

The set-up was ridiculous...HUGE!!!
This is "Bif Bertha" 157ft!!!




I have no idea how many people were there but it was a zoo! I found a place and just watched the frenzy!

The wind was blowing, so no Big Bertha today but the guys still put on a show down below on the smaller 60footer!


Every year the footage from this event is in most ski flicks, so hopefully I will see myself. Here is the edit from Skipass.Another cool day and experience. Next week I'm off with the boys to somewhere.....still TBD! On a side note this makes 7 months I have skied (April 1st today) I am more that 50% of the way there to ski 12 consecutive months....WOOOHOOO!! The tough ones are to come though ;-)
