What kind of skis did Candide use for different points in his career?

[dang8701]

I am most curious after his GS days post the famous gap jump when he got famous to what he changed to when he started doing big mountain/backcountry footage. I never see brands in any of his videos and the only thing I can find is that Faction has a Candide line. Not sure if he actually uses those except for those videos when he grinds down snowless pavement shooting sparks lol

I'm pretty sure he was riding Rossi scratch but not 100%.

For what though? He couldnt have used the same ski for decades

I have a rough idea on his sponsor history. Not 100% when he did what before corrupt

Dynastar

Rossignol

Corrupt (when he won freeride world tour and candide kamera)

Faction

yeah so

he was on dynastar when he became a face in the freeride world. he had his dynastar pro model around 2001, and i think he was either on those or the dynastar concepts for his famous chad's gap sesh

then he was on salomon around 2003. they made him and CR the sick race base pipe skis, "salomon 1080 labs" or something, for when they destroyed X pipe and went huuuge

then he was on rossi for a while, i believe around the time of War and stuff. i guess thatd be when the Scratch series was maturing into different models

then coreupt around the time of his big mtn comeback i believe. idk anything about coreupt tho

now faction

that's all just off the top of my head so i was sparse with details that id have to check. but feel free to ask details if you'd like, my memory might be useful when it's jogged

actually he mustve been on salomons before that because he was on 1080s when he hit that enormous hip straight on at superpark 2002
