  Last year, POWDER ran an April Fool’s story about a fake tech company trying to transform skiing into a metaverse sport. It was a stupid, thinly veiled plea to get off your phone and spend more time outside, preferably skiing. But sometimes, technology results in an addition to skiing that’s actually really neat, like Sundance Mountain’s new interactive 3D trail map.Now, 3D trail maps aren’t new. Lake Louise, Alberta, has one. The map Sundance created, thou

  05-11-2025 21:46 via powder.com
  
  Since his departure from Faction a few years ago, Candide Thovex has made waves in ski design with his own brand, Candide Skis.

  After an Instagram radio-silence since December 12, 2024, the @candideskis page dropped a t
