This is also the only ski content my wife will watch. “Want to watch a “Cody” over dinner?” she’ll say.

Same here. I’ve been waiting for the Robson ep since this started. Wondering how it’s going to go and the planning going in. I wasn’t a big fan of the article. Let the dude do his thing.

I’d subscribe to that channel.

The GQ piece gets a lot less breathless as it goes on. I enjoyed this bit:

As he recalled, “I remember meeting her and she’s like, ‘Yeah, I live in Tahoe.’ I’m like, ‘No, you don’t. I know every hot girl in Tahoe.’ ” After the show, it was Saugstad who called Townsend to go skiing.

Many of us have said from the beginning that Robson is probably the least likely. It’s been skied once, maybe twice.

I feel like from a logistical perspective, at least you can drive to Robson (mostly). Cody could conceivably stay nearby in the late winter or spring and wait for optimal conditions.

Mt St Elias and University Peak on the other hand…

I really liked Cody’s response to the article. Good points from someone who knows the dangers better than anyone here with a sprinkle of clickbait. Personally I read the article more of a cautionary message to Cody rather than don’t do it. Of course, cautionary messages make for horrible clickbait so the article had to be sensationalized.

The rules are the rules. The trick is not bending them. He's got all the time in his life. I'm not worried.

There's no such thing as bad publicity. I imagine Cody's sponsors are happy to see those articles out there.

I know the author a little bit, but I can say isn't "chasing relevance and clicks." He's one of the better writers in the outdoor sports world and has no social media presence to speak of. He doesn't need to write a controversial article for attention.

A “six-foot-one, 195 pound Sasquatch of a man”.

Thanks for those links. The gripped article brings back lots of memories of that time.

I'm surprised this post hadn't bumped the thread yet?
Any wild speculation?

Cody’s going to finally attend law school

Cody’s taking a step back to learn to tele ski and complete the 50 project with better style

Dude is divorcing his wife and living at the base of Robson and Elias till they're done.

Way to man up bro.

I heard Cody and Elyse have a new turd-farming venture where they use baby’s poop to supercharge the growth of their new Super Soylent Green food-tritional product. This is the big drop that will lead in to Super Pooper Tuesday next week.

Remember, Tuesday is soylent green baby poo day.

Cody is quiting skiing to compete on the world pickle ball tour and Elyse is having quintuplets.

Cody is RFK Jr's pick for VP

Kate Middleton just finished the 50 ahead of him, she completed the last ones in secret, that's why she's been missing.

He's obviously running for senate. Time for skiers to take over the government.

Found the joy of kite skiing and re-evaluated his meaning in life.

Launching new line of men's facial hair care products

Lol

He's going to Paris to become a male Model.

Cody and Bjarne are taking their relationship to the next level. The Fifty is then morphing into a home makeover show as they bicker over how to consolidate their van-life setups into a new giant motorhome.

Well, the 50 as we know it looks to be done, and I think we can all guess why:

But I'm still very stoked for a new episode!

hes running for senator of california

Quit the Fity to become Ultimate Fanboy for Brock Purdy for MVP. Believe in the GSA to take over for Cody and complete the Fifty with Bjarne.

Wasn't bloody already done?

I think cody mentioned somewhere that this was the plan from the beginning, to finish with bloody and ski it with a bunch of friends from the rest of the series
