Love the joy you bring to the sport. As the dad of a 19 year old who’s getting after it, I would love it if you’d add a summary of your risk assessment of the snowpack at the end or in the notes so viewers gain more knowledge. Might be a cool part of FatMap collaboration. Also love the look back at your line. Keep them coming.
So good... I had the pleasure of skiing Rodgers pass in 2017. Went up the 7 steps and down Forever Young. Still one of the best lines I've ever skied. This video makes me want to go back bad.
I love the pure joy you bring here! What a playful zone! I hope it's easy to ignore the armchair haters about touring alone...we all have to respect each other's autonomy and respect the risk mitigations we decide to use. Risk management is not the same for any single person, and you're certainly skilled enough to make different decisions than others. The only time to get angry or lecture someone is when they put you directly at risk, and you're certainly not doing that to anyone. That rant was for the armchair yuppies, not Michael.
Watching the pace and efficiency of Michael's skinning is awesome. So much to learn about this sport. It's not easy but man, how can you not go to these places? So beautiful.
Ahh, winter can't come soon enough! This made me wan't to go skiing so bad. Nothing too gnarly, just one happy man enjoying some mellow, but awesome terrain, what's there not too love?
Waiting for the Classic Flow and the Fifty Project collab 😁 Even if you're not actually chasing the Townsend party lines on the down, you are with these episode post timing, lol.
What a killer day!! For sure digging your content. Never saw this coming from you growing up in Glenwood Springs!! Heard about you from my kids. Return safely, bring us more!! The Carringtons
I've studied this line. It seems like one that some of us keyboard warriors could actually enjoy. I mean, we can all sit here and stare admiringly at Pontoon Peak or Comstock, but realistically, are we going to drop? Probably not. But this one, certainly seems doable and enjoyable; I mean, you even busted out your wider Kastle skis for this one. Also fun seeing, what I assume, are Cody, Elyse and their team's lines from a few days earlier. Anyways, as always, great stuff Michael -- and a day early so I won't complain a bit.
Be avy aware, the young’s traverse requires glacier travel skill and the 7 steps have their own set of overhead hazard on the approach. Have fun out there!
damn every time I come back to this channel, the subscribers double. First time I saw your video you had only 120 subs, at the time of writing you're already ata 4.2k! That's crazy, you deserve to grow even more mate. Keep it up :)
Ok.. that’s a perfect run, great filming, editing. Perfect line down the fall line the whole way, boss! Btw, great mic setup, no wind noise. Oh, your buddy’s music is great too.
maybe try going up to the Dome from the mouse trap after the 7 steps. makes a better exit and is another fantastic rogers classic. have fun and be careful out there
Hey man! looks like a magical day in the pass! If you end up driving to do the Alaska lines, and you pass through Smithers B.C. I got a place you can park your van and have a shower. P.S. I also like to eat small oily fish in the alpine. Have you tried Sprats??
Definitely by choice but I fail to see why it’s problematic. Building a channel from nothing is very difficult. I don’t blame Michael at all for riding the wave and trying to make a living off this. It’s a hustle just like anything else in life. Gotta play the game
@@devinrogers4885 For sure. Can't be a coincidence. But would be interesting to know the relationship (if any) between them. Like if Micheal reached out to Cody and said "Hey, I wanna ski a ton in one season, but don't worry you'll bag all 50 before me" Or if he just started dropping the same Ep's without warning and Cody was like dafuq is this guy?? Either way I'm sure there's no harm in letting a young up-and-comer ride your coat-tails
@@3Drewski totally assuming but feel it's more of the unexpected riding Cody's wave and trying to complete the 50 before Cody to get the #1 spot. Who doesn't want to be the first at something?
Comstock couloir is right next to Seven Steps so it just logistically makes sense to do both at the same time. It's definitely a coincidence that they both decided to start this season off at Comstock but it only makes sense that the next drop for both would be Seven Steps.
I love the fifty project, but gotta say Michael's got better music and skiing... Weird to say but fifty has just become too much about the suffering... This is pure joy
A shout out to Cody at least would seem courteous! I mean sick lines and video but dude is posting day after on each vid with no mention.... Seems weird.
Cody was not the first to start the 50, that honor goes to Noah Howell, which Cody never gave a shoutout until season 3 I think? Fair game in my opinion 😂
If you google there is an interview with Wirth -- guy in this video -- where he says he talks to Cody and they share beta. The fact is, his production is low key compared to Cody's and I like it that way.
Unadulterated POW Bliss exposed… you’ll beat @codytownsend to the 50, yet he has Higher priorities than any ski line. feeble Ilg’s visualization? That you save your final 50 and wait for Cody to ski his, than collab on that combined 50th!
I respect your endeavor, your talent, and athleticism. I also respect that you are releasing videos for the same lines Cody skis days after he releases his videos to goose the algorithm. What feels icky is that you are calling your series "Classic Flow" when Bjarne's production company is called Endlessflow. Obviously its not illegal or anything but it just feels like a ripoff.
not keen on the solo touring these huge objectives but anyones free to do the fifty. its just a book full of lines some people picked to put into a book. pretty arbitrary collection of some insane skiing.
Mad respect.. this guy’s playing the algorithm like a harp. All in good fun! Thanks for the videos Michael. Keep ‘em coming!
I don't believe in coincidences but still giving you the benefit of the doubt😄 I really like how much of the descent you show
6:09 ski's past a party of lines, wonder who? Michael just be following the Alpine Van around like a coyote 🐺

huge fan of the uninterrupted powder lap and smooth soundtrack. cheers for the share
We lucked out a few years back and got 5 days at the Asulkan hut all to ourselves. Best ski trip I've had to date.
Imagine passing the other guy doing the 50 objectives and they just end up being buds and its cool. I hope thats how it goes down.

Exactly what I thought, ‘heck, I could ski that, and it would be fun!’🎉

that was an awesome powder run. I've never had one that comes anywhere near close to that, and none with bluebird skies like that...

Lol is this guy just skiing everything after Cody? Like the person below me said, hes playing the algo perfectly. Can't really knock it.

MCW bringing the joy. Thank you.
The marketing strategy here has me 😂
Genius honestly haha
same
What a day!!! Beautiful views and skiing
Ok at first I thought it was random but lol
What a legend
You make it look easy
Very cool, Keep up the good work! Thank you for the subtitles!!
Love those Leki poles. But you changed the baskets from Comstock. WTH?
One part Superman, one part Penguin. Bizzaro Cody solos the 50 while slurping sardines and crushing ascents. Is this a Marvel Movie?
How long was the skinner up?
Hey man! looks like a magical day in the pass! If you end up driving to do the Alaska lines, and you pass through Smithers B.C. I got a place you can park your van and have a shower.

Love a smoked sprat! But not as protein rich as the humble sardine
lol - coincidence or by choice?

nice run bud!
genius revealed
Bro is chaseing cody with theese uploads 💀
WTF I wanna know when you go back this looks like too much fun
What jacket is that?
So good, my friend. :)
Good vibes. Love it
this guy needs a bjarne
Excellent... or better.
Strive for moments that give you happiness like 7:54, you can hear it in his voice.
I wish i was there
great !! love it!!
Wholesome
What’s the intro song?
I love the fifty project, but gotta say Michael's got better music and skiing... Weird to say but fifty has just become too much about the suffering... This is pure joy
Keep slaying.
Oi Yoi 💪💪💪
rad
seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend ittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
A shout out to Cody at least would seem courteous! I mean sick lines and video but dude is posting day after on each vid with no mention.... Seems weird.
He got you, and now me, to comment about it. And building the suspense for an eventual collab. I’d be surprised if they didn’t already talk.
He doesn't owe Cody anything, it's not like Cody invented the desire to ski the 50. I do hope they collaborate at some point for a gnarly line or 2
Cody was not the first to start the 50, that honor goes to Noah Howell, which Cody never gave a shoutout until season 3 I think? Fair game in my opinion 😂

Piggybacking the algorithm
Michael “Al G Rhythm” Wirth
Unadulterated POW Bliss exposed… you’ll beat @codytownsend to the 50, yet he has Higher priorities than any ski line. feeble Ilg’s visualization? That you save your final 50 and wait for Cody to ski his, than collab on that combined 50th!
This episode is so sexual.. mhmmmmm

Helmets are cool
Lmao weird ass vibes from coattailing on the fifty and the solo tours. (Kids, don't tour by yourself)
Chill out bro 😅
As someone who solo tours I wish I was still a kid
It’s not that deep bro
his scandanavian camera guy is introduced next episode
not keen on the solo touring these huge objectives but anyones free to do the fifty. its just a book full of lines some people picked to put into a book. pretty arbitrary collection of some insane skiing.
Way better content! 😎
Theres no need to try to piggyback off someone else, you look petulant. Tell your own story.
Dislike Button
This isn't cool.
