Is This The Best skier in the World? Sam Kuch Two Years of Shred 

Caaaaaandide " The One and Only" , la pureté, le touché et le style !!!! INTOUCHABLE !!!

Is this the best skier in the world? ''Hold my beer..." Candide Thovex

Certainly one of the best but Candide has my vote.

There is a fluidity there that is mesmerizing. I don't see the decision making, it is like he is flowing down the mountain. Every twist, turn and flip feels predetermined and spontaneous at the same time.

I don’t know who the “best” skier is. But this is some amazing footage. This Kuch dude throws down.

Hard to call someone 'the best' while Candide is still around. But this guy is pretty damn good.

One of the best. These haters wouldn’t have the balls to even look down some of those runs.

Can't talk about the best, without talking about Candide.

As always if MSP is involved - unbelieveable skiing, awesome camerawork, awesome editing and music choice! Song name: Tribal Blood - I Will Fight

Dude is a great skier...but he'll have to outski Candide to get that title !

If this guy is the best skier of the world, Candide must be the god of the univers !

Whoever directed/edited this film deserves a raise! How Epic was this?

I've never seen a better roofer than Candide

There's a french guy who might be the real goat

As far as big mountain skiers go ....... absolutely off the charts! I grew up watching the likes of Scott Schmidt and Glen Plake open our eyes to a whole new level of skiing. This was the first time I've seen Sam ski and my mind is absolutely blown away. The same way I was when I watched those guys tear up Squaw and Jackson Hole.

everyone in the comments not realizing he.s got another 10 years atleast in the pro scene and that hes unreal. I used to compete against him in junior FWT stuff and he is an unreal athlete

Outstanding skier! Definitely one of the best. However the title belongs to Candide Thovex. No one makes skiing looks as effortless as him

What a stupid title and premise for this movie and a shitty thing to do to Sam who seems like a cool guy. The images and skiing are great though.

Top spot goes to a notable Frenchman

Best big film skier of the last couple of years!

those switch pillow touches! yeha buddy!

i dont even really love skiing (i do both, but I will always LOVE snowboarding more) but this guy....sheesh...any day every day, I will buy him a beer until the end of time

Candide Thovex probably has a thing or two to say about this. I bet they'd make a sick skiing duo for sure.

it's such an unhelpful, divisive title. What a shame after an amazing video. Very big jumps! Very impressive. When i see his videos in future I know they will be great. With a title like this you force me to think of the racers who finished the Kitzbuhel downhill last weekend with a 85m, 145kph jump where the wind was trying to push their skies over their head, or underneath them, like unfortunately happened to Urs Kryenbühl. I'm going to vote for Shiffrin... Multiple Olympic gold medallist and world champion... has won world cup events in all 6 racing disciplines - slalom, giant slalom, downhill, super-G, combined, and parallel slalom. 17 wins in a season.... more to come. So yes, great video, silly title. Please post more, with different titles! Edit: I was too grumpy. MSP have been making amazing ski videos for decades, and a lot of the time people could / did watch them without paying... so if they want to do some clickbait here and get more views, I think they deserve it. Thank you for a very nice video!

He makes it look so incredible, what an athlete

no candide thovex is !!!! then the tramriders ,then sam ! njoylife

Maybe later, but right now Candide is king, followed by Marcus Eder and Sammy C. Though he could grow into one of the greats!

if not the best one of the best I have seen. This is skiing not the multiple videos where the guys are braking the whole way down. Like someone else said "good flow."

I may not be able to ski like Sam Kuch, but it's ok, he can't ski like me either 😂

so sick. Seems like a hell of an athlete with his air awareness and landings. Guess they put the goat in the title to bring more attention to him

I think he needs to get by Candide Thovex first. Fun to watch though.

Incredible skier, and he's gonna get better cuz he's still young. None of this stuff was possible with the skis I grew up on... love watching all these young athletes push the envelope.

Candide Thovex > ALL, and it has been proved many times.

Awesome skier. Making construction workers proud. My Father was a lifetime Wood Pattern Maker in British Columbia. Thankful he had my brother and I out skiing at a young age.

Holy moly... incredible. Very well produced with a great athlete

i did quit ma job , 27 ski seasons had to quit that now im back working on building sites, shed load of happy ski memories

Have this on repeat. Not much more to say 😆

Best at doing 360s to the left over and over in a ski film that is for sure...

He is without a doubt the greatest gift of all time

2:41 huge lincoln to absolutely massive 7.......all in the middle of a big mountain face. whoa

at this level of athleticism i hope he really loves what he does ....you can't go wrong then in any case. awesome hard core ripper.

Great piece. Dude is a monster on the slopes.

No. Candide is the GOAT.

Looks like he found his life purpose, like he´s having the best time ever and like he will never be afraid of heights again ;_)

I'd say he's an expert faller more than an expert skier. He's incredible.

Soo good! Amazing skiing and beautiful shots!

Impressive. I'm guessing the best skiers in the world spin both ways.

Love what you do. Do what you love. He appears to be accomplishing that mantra. Shout out to the cinematographer. I love this slo-mo footage through the trees. Excellent work.

Sammy C is the best for sure

Candide is and will stay the goat !

Wow, a really amazing free skier. Is Sam the best skier in the world? I think he would have to prove himself more to achieve that pedestal. Beating the Marcel Hirscher's of the world would not be easy, and a slalom or GS course has no powder after 100 other guys go down it first.

Beautiful skiing. Almost made me cry.

this editing is amazing, great video

AMAZING for sure!

Fantastic !

Some sick skiing and video quality right there! Go Sam & team!!!

Amazing flow and talent. Definitely next level riding but sorry, this kid doesn’t charge anywhere near as hard as the GOAT Candide Thorvex. Close but all I could think watching his silky smooth moves was how much harder Candide would stomp most of those lines.

Best skier in the world....brilliant!!!! Awe inspiring and amazing. Have never seen this kind of talent.

Stupid title that diminishes a great skier! Impossible to compare styles, etc. Maybe none of you have heard of Mikaela Shiffrin, this guy, many others...

amazing !!

Never heard about Candide Thovex ? (ManCave Man, thx)

Noice! Sweet understated subtle style. Gotta like it!

The most important thing is doing it for the Spirit of the Presence - I remember when we used to do S turns and now it is all speed and tricks, but great Job Awesome skier!

No pain just gains

He’s amazing for sure

Wouldn't say he is the best by any means, but he might squeak into my top 5 free ride skier. Could be number 1 some day though who knows. Obviously everyone's opinion is different.

impressive !!!!

Mind blown.

fast and big...Candide style..great!

Great video Superlative music

The comp to decide the "best skier" is the Freeride World Tour....props to Candide for entering the tour and slaying it his rookie year. Its all about the tour and I am surprised not to see more tour members name dropped in the comments.

candid i believe is the best

Candide Thovex, Tanner Hall and Henrick Harlaut are the best and OG skiers of their respective generations hands down.

great last name love it keep up the good work 😊

GREAT SKIING BROTHA WOW KEEP IT UP

Best at freeskiing? That would be Candide until proven otherwise. Sean Pettit could maybe claim that spot if he wanted it. Logan Pehota is doing some gnarly stuff right now too.

I still think Candide is the best

'best' means nothing... He is fantastic to watch anyway !

Bunch of haters on here living in the past. Ive watched a shit load of ski videos, edits, movies etc. and there is a lot of insane skiers out there. This guy though pulls off a trick on basically every feature he encounters and I havent seen a lot of guys doing that. Sure they can all do the same tricks and land it, but this is different. Id put him close to the top 3. I would still put Candid at number one though. That guy is just unreal.

Nessuno come lui cosa dire non ci dono parole di fronte a tanta abilità grandioso

I think it’s a bold statement, I would say he is definitely up there i just don’t know how you judge it without a world extreme comp. I would love to see him team up with Candide he is of the same talent and skill for sure! Me I’ll just stick to being average like the other 99% of skiers.

my name is sam. and i skied for the first time today and wiped out a lil but i’m getting a hold of it.

There is only one Goat

WOW!

Nice video!

Sam Kuch is sick, but what a stupid title.

When I went to Uni I had SSX tricky on Xbox. That was like the Alaska free run

CANDIDE is the best

Whitewater legend

Sam Kuch is da man serious skillz 🎿 flying snow

Realy 💥 bomb!

Man that guy can ski!

Candide Thovex and Sam Kuch best 2 skiers

There's alotta times when we all have a "best" moment.. No cameras.. Witnesses... U Know.. U were there... This guys definitely risen to the "Top Shelf"... Time&pressure will tell... Ski for tomorrow.... When U put the peddle down a lot... U hope it doesn't get stuck without knowing...egg toss... Kites on a string?... We're all just a big water balloons with bones in da middle?!.....

Some guys just feel right in the air.

The definition of how I want to ski

legendary baller

In my opinion, on this style, yes! No one can do has many tricks on huge lines like this. Maybe Candide but you don't see lots of content from him...

Candide thovex is the best, no question, no debate

0:09 ...and before that he played CIA operative Peter Quinn* in Homeland. *actor Rupert Friend - it's uncanny 😂 Sam is a god-like on the mountains.
