Alpine Skiing is a sport that requires only two things, first is your skiing gear and second is snow. However, many skiing enthusiasts try this adventure with only one aspect of skiing. It means some stunt lovers try skiing without snow. They try it in dense forests, roads, and even streets. This can certainly be very dangerous. However, to chase the thrill associated with it, the influencers do it anyway.
Skiing in such terrains is very famous, as various Youtubers and blog makers often perform such montages and post videos of their sprees on their social media. However, skiing without snow can be pretty dangerous because snow makes the surface smooth but without snow, the track can be rough, leading to fall off the board. This daring stunt requires a lot of skills, stability, and coordination. On the same note, a forest skiing video was recently shared on the internet by Candide Thovex, the French professional skier, which rendered fans in absolute disbelief.

Candide is also considered the greatest freeride skier of all time. He has a history with this sport because his father was a trainer at La Cluzas Station, and he joined skiing school when he was six. Candide also has three gold medals in the Winter X Games and he also won a Chamonix stage. He then changed his career to filmmaking after injuring himself in 2007, but that did not cease his enthusiasm for skiing. Candide often posts his free ride videos on the internet that have become quite famous among his fans.
He recently shared a video on Instagram showing off his skiing skills in the forests with his skier friend, Aziz Benkrich. The two were seen sloping down the dense forest and it was very smooth.
