I hope after the 50 project is completed.....that Bjarn and Cody have an auction (for charity) to go ski with them for a day....( I am sure it would raise an incredible amount of money) Paying forward always a win win) Cheers!!
As a current noob, aspiring ski mountaineer, please explain significance. 106mm being a more wide and heavier ski than typically used on longer traverses?
I don't recall if he said how much his pack weighed, but but skiing heavy spring snow with a full multiday pack on 90mm skis would take more energy than than 106s. Plus, the wider skis would take less energy skinning in the deeper snow. I have two pair of b/c skis at 95 and 105. When I take the 95s and am skinning in deep snow, I'm using much more energy than I would with the 105s. There's obviously a balance between conditions and the gear used. Maybe I'd take something around 100 having seen this. At 63, I went light about 4 years ago and the difference in weight with carbon skis of different widths isn't that much.
Absolutely gripping, potentially poop-taking, and brilliant episode! BJARNE IS A HERO! You need to do an episode on his skills, efforts, and prep and dedication! Couldn't help but wonder how often you changed layers (and where they went) to keep from sweating and chilling; what foods you ate; how finding your caches would have been impossible if the GPS were inop or inaccurate; what you'd have done in that case; how you'll minimize the risk to complete the final 10/50. Stay safe ..... Thanks Salomon .... 👍
I'm not going to go back through all the videos to find it, but they did an episode where Cody and Bjarne switched roles as a way to highlight how hard his job is. It's pretty cool, and he is the unsung hero.
I think what's really captivating about this traverse for me is the almost ethereal like camera shots and music overlayed on top. For me the isolation and remoteness of having a human experience passing through such a place taps into something you don't really find anywhere else in life.
Such an absolute inspiration on so many fronts with the Fifty. Bjarne's filming, editing, and music choices make it become almost otherworldly. You guys are incredible
Some of the cinematography was reminiscent of Lawrence of Arabia albeit in the snow. Individuals framed against an immense expanse. The traverse even had touches of TE Lawrence's crossing of the Nefud Desert into Aqaba as portrayed in the film. Bjarne and team, you're in good company.
Sublime…. And the journey is not the destination, but the trip itself. This was clearly an adventure you’ll retell over the years. Oh, and nice little spready you did with a 50 lb pack (~6:50). We saw that! Cheers!
hey Cody, you should take a look into using a vapour barrier liner for keeping your sleeping bag dry and warm on future big cold trips. Andrew Skurka has a good article on using them, also love the series!
I asked on the last video and got a couple general info responses from other commenters. But I would love to hear from Cody & Crew about their trip planning!
@@LeslieTnot sure if you folks ever got an answer but he did a new video regarding this traverse and it was by helicopter. If you already watched that, great! I love Cody and he’s who inspired me to buy a splitboard and get out into the backcountry.
On the edge of my seat for all 3 eps. Well done guys!!!🎉 . Well done Bjarne after confronting his nemesis again 🤘. This 3 parter is one of my faves of the 50.
I used to do these kinds of tours. Not getting out like that anymore, but loving taking a vicarious trip with you all. Great series. Keep doing hard ski tours. And check out The Forbidden Tour in N Cascades WA.
I think the biggest complement that I can give, is I will be sad if/when you finish all the lines. Watching these has been a great joy over the past years.
Can you explain the cache process to a newb like me? When did you place them? What do you do with the cache box wood? Burn it? Haul it out? Awesome trip. Thanks for the adventure.
Impressive cam work Bjarne: especially the wide angle shots traversing.And traversing... Bringing the Bugaboos onto the screen like nobody else.Ive gotta get there.Nice work Cody. U guys are Hardcore.Look forward to these always. Great Series! Thanks
Hell of a journey! I don’t have the technical skills or stamina to do a traverse if this magnitude, but love that I can live vicariously through you guys. And amazing shots from Bjarne as always!!
You and your team are absolute beasts. I can only imagine the mental and physical toughness needed for an adventure like this. Bjarne, thank you for your incredible filming. Looking forward to your next adventure.
This is just so sick on so many levels its unreal. I've been learning about the 50 project for a few months now as I start to appreciate BackCountry skiing more and more. Thanks for documenting your journey in such detail, it's truly incredible to watch.
WOW; holy smokes. Never will I think I'm "cool" just cuz I did the Grand Traverse! Big Time KUDO's to the crew! Well friggin' DONE, Boyz!!! head bowed from the Colorado San Juans after a heaven sent POW day with my daughter!
40/50 has been an epic series! I did part of this route in summer, many years ago… the scenery was spectacular then, but the footage Bjarne shot for this one makes my old photos looks pretty pale by comparison. Well done, lads!
This was such a cool adventure to experience vicariously through you guys. Thanks for all your hard work, and huge shout out to Bjarne for capturing it all so marvelously. You guys are an inspiration.
Amazing adventure ! Incredible scenery and amazing photography! I would have never thought that I would enjoy a series on a traverse. Well, you made it riveting, congratulations and thank you ! Also, Kudo on your commitment, stamina and endurance……very inspiring. Cheers !
Just bought a pair of tele skis - you guys have been inspiring me for years to get into the backcountry and now I’m biting the bullet and doing it! Here’s to deep powder and green avy forecasts.
Sleeping bag question! - You mentioned about your sleeping bag being wet. Would it not be worth the couple of extra 100g for a bivi bag. Something like the ALPKIT bivi bag that goes over your sleeping bag. Virtually fully waterproof and breathable. Widely used by the military to keep sleeping bags dry when just sleeping on a mat overnight. Awesome content as always.
A lot of moisture comes from the inside as well as outside when sleeping in a down bag in the winter. Personally I've found that I give off a lot of humidity at night and sleeping with a bivy bag has made me the wettest I've ever been when winter camping. So I typically avoid them unless it's an emergency situation.
The feeling of hitting the Bugaboo-Snowpatch Col at the end (for us on Day 14). Indescribable. You mentioned BCS Pass. I wonder if that is what we called Bill's Pass, the penultimate pass. There used to be a plastic igloo on the N Side of Bill's Pass. Maybe it is gone now. I could not tell for sure, but I think you went over Climax Col and descended the SE side to then climb onto the Conrad Icefield. On the climb to Climax Col we had a potentially serious avalanche (1990), but no injuries or burials. Lost one ski pole. Superb work on the filming and editing and getting across the beauty and difficulties and satisfaction of this famous route. I have only done 3 of the 50: Tuk, Buffalo (my back yard) and RP to Bugs. I have loved following this series. Edit; I see now that BCS is the last col -- the Bugaboo-Snowpatch Col. I have never heard BCS: Maybe Bugaboo-Crescent-Snowpatch?
Great series on this traverse! Would you mind explaining what you are doing with the wand at 9:13? I'm assuming you are looking for depressions in the snow that you can't see in the flat light, but is that for crevasses and if so why not rope up?
More for just wind lips, wind drifts and general sight. It's so straining on your eyes walking in those whiteouts that any little bit of contrast can help ease the strain. And yes, if we were actually worried about crevasses, we would've roped up.
Hey Cody, how does it work with the cache? Do you go out in advance and bury them in the snow or is there a different system to get food into these remote locations?
I was wondering the same. did they put them up in advance like being fully selfsustained or were they dropped by another team? but anyways what a beautiful and big traverse! shout out to the whole team
Where does the name "Bugaboo" come from? It's quite possibly the greatest mountain range name ever. I name a lot of peaks I film out here on Vancouver Island as they don't have names and may have to come up with a clever spin-off of that name.
Bugaboo- noun-A thing, real or imagined that creates obsessive fear or anxiety. Go for a hike, climb or ski in Bugaboo Provincial Park. It will blow your mind!
I just can't comprehend the level of physical fitness needed to do this. I would consider myself more active than the average person (though still overweight) and after just one of these days I'd need a week off to recover.. the fact these guys can do this back to back is ridiculous.
Good job and awesome video as usual Cody and the crew! I saw a quick clip of you folding your skins "glue on glue" and I always thought this was a big no no. This prompt me to ask, next time you make a bonus video about your gear, can you please give us details about skins maintenance and handling? Some people say we should keep them dry, other say we should keep them outside before using them so they can cool down, etc and I'm getting pretty mixed up. I just screwed the glue on mines. It would be appreciated! Thanks!
Dang, whenever I see these awesome shots of you all in the distance I’m always wondering how the heck Bjarne catches up to you? Or maybe he was just slacking and taking a break again…..that Bjarne.
Amazing vid’ and adventure!!! Had no idea Traverse were a thing! i just knew going up to go down :D. Dumb question: What is the “long stick” for? around min 9:00 ? I guess low visibility and checking for crevasses or obstacles?
I can only say that when we did this in 1990 we had to use similar technique when the light was flat as one could not easily tell what was up or down. Our guide Chic Scott used a bit of rope tied to the end of his ski pole.
Hey Cody and Company. Me and my friends are stuck in a red (possibly turning black) snake out in Big Sky, MT. We were wondering about your poop wag bag logistics. Do you leave poop bags in your caches to be retrieved later? Do you carry it all out? Do you avoid popping? The people need to know. Thanks.
COTY LOVE CORK!! Hehehe..Cork in skis and now in boots(Zipfit Gft’s). Love to hear how the Zips are working out? I know you luva tinker, so curious. Please dish out the feedback!! Another gear discussion? Perhaps on Blister or here?
Hey! I want to know too. I've got a pair of the new MTN Summit Labs and I'd love to cork em out...though I tried at the dealer and they don't fit easily in the shell. I ended up not getting them, but they would ski way better with em. How'd you manage the zips in the shell? Any mods to the gaiter?
Hey Cody just want to thank you for all you do you’re definitely an inspiration and motivator to get out there. I was wondering what your sleeping pad set up was. I know you have a closed cell folding pad. But do you use an insulated air sleeping pad as well? If so what kind? Thanks -Mike
Absolutely incredible adventure, but I almost feel cheated not getting to see the end end. Like Cody says, the adventure isn’t over until you’re back at the car (cabin in this case I guess) with a beer in your hand.
How did the new boots and liners work for you??? I took brand new boots and liners on the 9 day Homathko Traverse and my feet were in trouble for the next year.
Just a quick question, I've always wondered why you don't include your liners in your sleeping bag at night? Is it a hygiene thing? Is it a space thing? Is a damp control thing? Would stop them freezing surely?
Because at point, your liners become so saturated that they dampen and cool your sleeping bag to the point of making your sleep worse. Plus, it's not like they stay warm, they're just cool and still wet. I've found the same results of sleeping with them can be accomplished in two minutes of walking with them and plus, then you have a dryer and more comfortable sleep. For single nights, not too wet of boots, I sleep with them, but at the same time, toughing it out for a couple minutes and getting a better nights sleep has become more of my go to strategy.

I’m thinking, poor guy got left behind so often.
Cody Townsend - professional skier driven by the joy of sport. Also, takes 106 mm skis on a 7-day traverse. Respect.
As a current noob, aspiring ski mountaineer, please explain significance. 106mm being a more wide and heavier ski than typically used on longer traverses?
@Kmans106 yep that's the main idea. Choosing something closet to 90 underfoot could save alot of effort
And wears a full gore-tex pro action suit with 0 breathability
I don't recall if he said how much his pack weighed, but but skiing heavy spring snow with a full multiday pack on 90mm skis would take more energy than than 106s.

Congratulations on completing such a huge traverse with all the literal ups and downs
Love this series! Was waiting for this to drop!
The multiday traverse episodes look like the most fun to me out of the whole project - my brain must be defective
My first sport was skiing, but I backpacked before I even ski toured. Traverses seem like the ultimate intersectional interests for me as well!
It was an honor to see my home mountains documented like this, great effort from the whole team!

Awesome series. The pine martin from part 2 says "thanks for nothing" though.
Great series on this traverse! Would you mind explaining what you are doing with the wand at 9:13? I'm assuming you are looking for depressions in the snow that you can't see in the flat light, but is that for crevasses and if so why not rope up?
More for just wind lips, wind drifts and general sight. It's so straining on your eyes walking in those whiteouts that any little bit of contrast can help ease the strain. And yes, if we were actually worried about crevasses, we would've roped up.
@@CodyTownsend That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the clarification!
Hey Cody, how does it work with the cache? Do you go out in advance and bury them in the snow or is there a different system to get food into these remote locations?
Looking at the boxes that are crafted and how the food was just stuffed efficiently into a few full bags it was probably done by themselves.
Sometimes I have friends (with sleds) place Fuel for me. One time we had a air drop. Sometime you can pay people with horses to pack gear in.
I was wondering the same. did they put them up in advance like being fully selfsustained or were they dropped by another team? but anyways what a beautiful and big traverse! shout out to the whole team

9:13 what is Cody doing with his probe? Checking for crevasses?
Great trilogy! One question that maybe I missed along the way... how did you get your food stashes our to those remote places before the trip began?
Heli drop
You should look into using vapor barriers to solve your frozen boot and sleeping bag problems.
Andrew Skurka has a good article on them to start with
Especially on traverses this long!
How did the new boots and liners work for you???
I took brand new boots and liners on the 9 day Homathko Traverse and my feet were in trouble for the next year.
Just a quick question, I've always wondered why you don't include your liners in your sleeping bag at night? Is it a hygiene thing? Is it a space thing? Is a damp control thing? Would stop them freezing surely?
Because at point, your liners become so saturated that they dampen and cool your sleeping bag to the point of making your sleep worse.
