Those poor, poor skis

Sand dunes, volcanoes, waves, tropical forests, the Great frigging Wall of China - Candide Thovex skis it all (in this Audi ad). Another one.
Wonder how easy this would be with roller skis?

I kept expecting it be the opening sequence to the James Bond franchise, union jack and all!

It reminded me of (previously) street skiing in Nelson, BC.

Skis for sale, used less than one season.
Joking aside, this is a great viral video and I'd love to see Candide's thoughts post-ski to all the chatter on his legs. My only beef is it does a poor job of showing his skill level, Candide is ridiculous. Here's his 5 minute One Of Those Days 2.

So is Audi admitting its complicity in global warming?

I've occasionally looked at stairs, usually well padded carpeted, and thought, ya'know.... naw would get in too much trouble.

This is a fun commercial, but as someone who watches One of Those Days with my daughter to get in the mood for our annual ski trip, I have to say seeing him in actual snow is much better.

Also, on his videos, whoever is filming him may be even more badass, in a backwards and in high heels sort of way.

> whoever is filming him
is a drone.
Disappointing that these are all car ads. Truly we live in the best of all possible worlds.
