No, gravity does not work on everybody the same. Yes, same freefall acceleration, but different force required to oppose that acceleration (popping at takeoffs, landing, speedchecks, turns, etc.).
Yes, everything looks different for a 5'6" 120 lb skier. The air beneath Candide appears even more huge because it's more body lengths of air for his short body compared to a tall skier getting the same actual height of air. Plus his low weight means he can steer, land, and speedcheck with ease even in light blower, whereas a heavy skier will just push the snow more away from himself instead of pushing himself away from the snow.
Plus tiny lightweight skiers can spin easy. I keep waiting for the tiny pros to revolutionize spinny airs by using heavy-ass ski poles to set the rotation, and to change angular velocity mid-flight. (Maybe start with 4-lb poles, then experiment from there with different weights.)
Yes, by pulling his knees up, his body height appears even shorter, which makes the air under him look even more huge in terms of body-lengths. Pretty much everyone does that sometimes to look cool, whether tall or short.
Oh, and Candide's editors keep choosing to release a lot of his rad skiing in real speed video, which makes his skiing look as sweet as it really is---instead of overusing slow-motion like the full-length ski films before Candide Camera, etc. Oh, and his "One of Those Days" series made inbounds rad again.

This is my favorite Candide video. Storm skiing in the trees is also my favorite kind of skiing.
