Then, during the competition, they regrouped to judge the men's ski competition with Mathieu Ros from Ski Mag in France leading the group:

"For the Media Award, we were looking for the most visual run. Candide's line spoke for itself and even without tricks, his flow was like that of a slopestyle. Using this criteria, Candide's run was the most pleasurable to watch: fluid, fast, aggressive and stylish. ALl of the aspects of freeride came together. His line was original because no one before had taken that line. Kaj Zackrisson and Stefan Hausl's runs were also impressive notably with the double cliff jumps."
