For example, every jump he jumps before the ramp edge, that is not how you jump from a ramp, it's clearly CGI.

Explain to me, how in the start he throws down the ski's and start moving right away in less than a second, that is imposible, he doesn't step on the bindings.

I believe it is physically possible to ski a certain distance on water, assuming one has built up the requisite speed before hand, and knows how to displace ones weight correctly in order to maintain momentum.
If one is water skiing for instance, where the rider is linked to a boat by a cord, and dragged behind the boat, then one may let go of the rope, and assuming a certain speed has been attained, continue to move across the water for a fair distance, before sinking into the water. It is feasible, not at all impossible.

CGI? No... It's not CGI.
Yes, many of the shots were Staged, But CGI? no...
Here's a documentary of this skier if you think all he uses is CGI:

Thanks for that video. Before today I never knew who Candide Thovex was, now I'll never forget. Inspirational. I was gutted when I learned of his accident, for him only to come back bigger and better. Unbelievable.

Last time I hit grass at speed I was slammed hard on the ground. Pretty cool video though. When I skied, it was pretty much old days. Even snowboards weren't developed then lol!

Not even close to the most ridiculous ski video.

Very sweet! You hiring there lol!?
I was at speed coming down a mountain and there was a little rise which hid this nice patch of grass. It grabbed my skis like rubber. Perhaps it was too much wax on my skis or something, but that is what crossed my mind when I saw the grass. I grew up skiing and my friends brother was on the Olympic Ski team. They did some crazy stunts. I love the terrain and locale in your pics! Very nice.
