Amazing episode. Loved that you stayed true to the mission and hiked the Sphinx!

Fuck yeah that was awesome. Drone footage was insane! Well done and congrats.

good stuff

Dear Cody,

This shit is amazing.
Please make the episodes twice as long.
I have faith in you to completely fulfill our needs and wants.

Kind regards,

Can I PM you about something tele related?

And nice episode. That's the thing why I went to AK twice...the combination of steep stuff and good snow. It's quite rare here. And I guess in the lower 48 as well.

I think it's also a nice demonstration of how important patience can be in the mountains. Don't push through bad conditions with exposed lines - wait for weather and snow to line up.

When Cody dropped in and that drone shot kicked in, it got an audible "oh fuck ya" out of me. For some reason that little bit of cinematography connected with something primal inside my loins.

Kinda surprised they didn't do a heli run after

Same, and I was thinking that a few of the frame grabs could be total cover shots on the Ski Journal or something.

I'd definitely like to but it's actually really difficult making them longer and keeping them engaging. You have to continually move through processes of mini-story arcs while building to the main story arc. As a filmmaker, when you're getting people say they want it longer, that means it was the perfect length. I always try to make the episodes as long as I can...but during the editing process you see all the slow spots, all the spots that are dragging and all the points where the episode crosses the very fine line between too short and too long. For instance, the first edit of this episode was over 20 minutes but really dragged until the last 5 minutes...so you cut and you cut and you cut until the point where many would say, "I want it longer".

15 minutes is pretty good imo! Seems like you're really nailing the format and length as suits the episodes. Thanks for a really entertaining series!

What about thicker and a different Rhythm?

Our family waits till Friday night to watch these new episodes or whenever we can gather together. It is our prime time entertainment.

Cody reminds me of another athlete I know in a different sport. I'd been practicing with a local guy that was so full if himself I'm surprised he didn't explode, then went and paid to train with the best in the world for a few hours and he absolutely blew me away with his modesty the first time. The contrast was very disorienting at first.

I think that likeable, humble, relatable personality mixed with sometime plausible mountaineering adventures, and the sometimes long punishing slogs really sits well with us.

So yeah. Longer would be fine, but as pointed out, content is king.

You can add the Director's Cut along with that other Mountaineer's Route episode to the list of bonus content we are waiting for. :wink:

Personally I’d like to see not so engaging footy as well. Kinda like a real day in the mountains. I still have faith in you to give us exactly what we want. ;)

I want a Tik Tok dance on top of a peak while we’re asking for stuff [emoji12]

Think of the memes!

"Showmanship, George. When you hit that high note, say goodnight and walk off."

Like I said, I have faith in you :)

I just want to see more of Cody suffering. But in a good way.

like changing blowout diapers and stuff

that was awesome, love the drone footage...looked like an amazing day.

What drone was used ?

~Fifteen minutes is perfect. Always leave them wanting more.

Awesome episode Cody

I think the episodes are all appropriate in their length. First rule of good editing is to keep it tight.

Yes please. A harlem shake

I want 40 minutes more of skinning and thrashing footie so I can get 3 more heli laps on that perfect dream state pow run of a lifetime.

A man can dream.

Congrats mang.

Powerball!

*cringe* - he's definitely in his early 20's.

It's okay if you mute it. Still lots of fat to trim though.

He should fire his writing team
