I've been watching Cody's project 50 from the start, best thing on YouTube at the moment. Love it!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Anyone enjoying The Fifty please fill in Cody's survey. He doesn't say explicitly but I suspect this is to help provide evidence for getting sponsors on board to help him finish The Fifty and plan his next project:

@JohnMo, I have completed the survey. I suspect that the fact that I am completely immune to the whole sponsors/marketing guff will not have helped the trucker capped one. I did though tick that I might be in the market for a “The Fifty” logo/fanboy mug. That might be nice.

I was staying at an AirBnB last weekend that had a copy of "The Fifty" as a coffee table book. So I idly looked through (having been a fan of Cody from the start but not knowing the complete list) and, my goodness, some of the unticked ones are pretty serious objectives which will require complete goldilocks conditions to achieve (e.g The North Face of Mount Robson!!)

Powder reached out to Townsend to get to the bottom of this somewhat vague Instagram post. He graciously shared exclusive details that have not been released elsewhere. (Thanks, Cody!)
Townsend confirmed that there will be four total "episodes" for this season of The Fifty. Two episodes will fit the regular 20-30 minute format, and two will be feature length films with run times around 55 minutes.

He certainly did Baffin in the spring and I think he was planning another go at Mt St Elias so 2 pretty huge objectives right there. What's left? I think there's a line on Denali which hadn't been skied until Andreas Fransson did it a few years back. Not sure if it's been repeated?
In any case, lots of material and some hugely impressive lines left to do. Can't wait!

Yep that was a real rollercoaster - absolutely fantastic. I love that it's not glamourised at all, it's warts and all. Sometimes they have to bail out, sometimes they're scared. There's a real honesty to them.

Huge admiration for Bjarne (with some help from Ming) - hard enough to do, never mind try and get it all on film. The odd joke felt a little forced/scripted to me, unusual for The Fifty. But this is season five... and it's still the best ski content out there.

I'd agree this is one of the best Arno,

My expectations were very high after hearing a lot of glowing reviews. Unfortunately this latest video didn't live up to them. I did enjoy it, and it was nice seeing the effort and difficulty just to get these kind of lines in suitable conditions. But the 35+ mins of going back and forth could have been condensed considerably and I wouldn't have felt like I'd missed out on much.
That all said it's still the best ski series going, and the episode was no means bad. In fact my slight disappointment is arguably that they've set the ball so high even the "good" episodes are below par for them

A superb episode that shows what it's really like and you got a sense of the delayed gratification when they finally skied it. @Arno, felt so much like a much bigger version of the what we've experienced more than once in Lofoten eh!

@boarder2020, I think the lengthy build up was quite good, and gives insight into the background of the line and what finishing it meant, if they knock the first few attempts off in 5 minutes then I think you lose a lot.
Like you say though, the other episodes have set a very high bar for quality ski content.

[quote="sweaman22"] Some of the more dramatic music seemed over done.
Agreed - it was a bit 'doooooooom-is-coming' at times!

I thought this was a great episode. For some time I have thought that the 15-20 minute episodes were not doing justice to what Cody and Bjarne were doing. Like others I could have done without the overly dramatic music. I think the drama speaks for itself.
This is not just great skiing viewing, it is a great series generally. I am so nervous about whether they will make the fifty. It must be getting really difficult now.

I really enjoyed this episode too, with all the turning back. As someone new in to touring, it's great to get an idea of what's going through the minds of these hugely experienced off piste skiers, and what they're considering on these adventures.
