One minute, Candide Thovex disappears into a rocky slot that doesn’t look big enough to accommodate his body.

The next, he slips out the other side, headed straight downhill at terminal velocity. I know, I know, “there’s nothing Candide can’t do on skis.” But even when you know that before you hit play on each new video, he still somehow manages to blow your expectations.
