I really liked Bjarnes perspective that he didn't want to be sitting at home that night and angry that he'd done something stupid and gotten away with it.

Agreed. Many folks would state that they didn’t want to sit home that night angry they didn’t take the risk.Quote:

Cody, is the Newton Clark Headwall part of the fifty project and if so do you have a general idea of when you will be skiing it?

Pretty funny episode if you ask me.
Cody, whose vizsla is that?
OMG, so highlarrious.
Needs a “full monty” style shell tear-off to reveal the skimo tights
Ha! Tommy Africa’s at the end?
Nice one. Cool looking route.
It was nice to switch it up after all the seriousness/gnar/exposure/calculation. Vizsla is Cedar, owned by Ian MacIntoshQuote:

Randy rando.
That was awesome.
That was gold. Thanks.
Bjarne’s comments are hilarious. Great comedy team!
The undercurrent of levity throughout the whole series is much appreciated. It rings truer for me and my experiences chasing lines as opposed to something like La Liste which makes everything seem like such a serious and noble undertaking.
I really like La Liste btw, not dissing it or anything. It's just that Fifty strikes a chord with my ski life.
Yes. Same. This shit is supposed to be fun!Quote:

Awesome job, Cody! That made my morning!
The stuff in La Liste was a lot more serious.Quote:

Agreed. La Liste was "too rad". The skiing displayed is certainly cool but very risky. "Progression" of the sport isn't worth it IMHO if the risk carries a huge cost that could be mitigated with slightly slower/ more cautious skiing. I don't think it's something we should encourage.Quote:

Totally different ballgame. Different premise. The skiing in La Liste is the best I've ever seen, and it's my favourite ski film/video/whatev.Quote:

Agreed on all counts.
Sooooo fucking awesome!!!

Did Bjarne keep up with you on that while filming? If so, the guy truly is a beast.
plus once you convert from metric it's not even 15Quote:

And to be fair, mount st Elias is one the list of 50, in terms of risk and huge costs....
Also, simply put, some of these lines are impossible to ski that fast. No one is going to flash Robson, for example.
Lose an edge and you will.... :DQuote:
