The winner of our Gear Giveaway this week will get the skis that Candide Thovex spends most of his time on: the 183 cm Faction Candide 5.0.
For more on the ski and Candide’s work with Faction to design it, I’d highly recommend listening to episode 115 of our GEAR:30 podcast (it’s super interesting). But long story short, the CT 5.0 is a reverse-camber, 122mm-wide, playful ski that combines a strong flex pattern with a surprisingly low weight. We found it to be a blast in any sort of soft snow, with a blend of stability and quickness that came as little surprise, when you watch how Candide skis.
