Candide Thovex

Candide Thovex, Cab 900 Stuben Am Arlberg, Austria

Over this last week I have had the pleasure of shooting the talented Candide Thovex. Candide was here in the Arlberg for about 1 week to do some filming for his new project Candide Kamera. The majority of the days were snowfilled powder days as the snow continues to fall here. A couple of days were spent out filming and shooting in Sonnenkopf and the rest at the deep snow paradise of Stuben.

For the blue sky days the Stuben gap jump was built up by Nick Francke of Empire Parks. Once again a big thanks goes to Skye Darden of Line Skis.

Shooting with Verse Films

Last week I had the pleasure of shooting with some of Europe’s top up and coming newschool skiers when they came to the Arlberg to film with the Finnish company Verse Productions. The three riders included Austrian Patrick Hollaus and the Fins Jussi Mononen and Roope Leppänen. Shots were taken in playing in the powder in Sonnenkopf and on a backcountry kicker in Zürs. Below are a few shots taken over the week. I am looking forward to shooting some more with them when they return here to the Arlberg.

Be sure and watch out for the new film from Verse Productions and produced by the talented Lasse Nevantausta. It will be called Faceshot and should come out early next winter.

Many thanks go to Skye Darden from Line Skis for lining the whole shoot up. Cheers Skye.
