- Опубліковано 15 жов 2019
- With an impeding storm on the horizon, the push to ski two classic lines in Colorado in back-to-back days presents one of the most exhausting challenges of The Fifty to date. The two classics, the iconic and photographic North Maroon Peak near Aspen, Colorado and the far-flung and aesthetic Holy Cross Couloir near Vail, Colorado are in stellar and stable condition in April of 2019 and create for some of the best skiing conditions possible on big ski mountaineering style lines. Cody Townsend is joined in this special double episode by Aspen locals Pete Gaston, Anton Sponar and Greg Strokes for the two day adventure in the Colorado backcountry.
This is Episode 15 / 16 and line 13 and 14 completed for The FIFTY, a project following Cody Townsend as he attempts to climb and ski all fifty of the lines and mountains chronicled in the book, "The 50 Classic Ski Descents of North America." The series documents Townsend's journey's, travels, challenges and each line and mountain listed in the book. It's a journey through the most majestic mountains and ski lines in North America along with a unique insight into how skiers make decisions in the backcountry, how they plan, navigate and safely move through the mountains and the people that dedicate their lives to the mountains.

Love it as always. Have you considered putting a timer or clock in the corner of the screen. Not as a race but just get a bit more of an idea on how long you take on the different stages throughout the day. Bless up x
Sick transition at
my bet is i speak for many folks: when the newest Epic hits the web, life stops (and, ironically, begins again with a reminder of what is truly of Value), we press the Full Screen button, and we watch the latest. great stuff.
Respect letting the random homie get first tracks
Thanks for having me be a small part of the adventure! I loved seeing this and remembering how stoked you all were by the snow coverage. What a year for snow, and slides. Fly with you anytime...
Having clicked 57 back in May, I love this series as my days of big lines are over but these videos bring back great memories of skiing 14ers and 13ers in the 80s and 90s...thanks Cody and Team! Now imagine skiing some of the these lines with Silveretta bindings, Rossi GS skis and Dachstein AT boots with an emphasis on survival turns versus the impressive skill you boys display!

Best ski-mountaineering series in the world, bar none.
Frig this series is amazing Cody. I hope when it's all done that you guys put together a feature length film. Such an amazing story.
That was a sweet transition from the truck to waking up.
That spread eagle though!
Currently binge watching all of this series, totally engrossed! Loved the Hans Zimmer style soundtrack up to the summit in this one!
That ridge on Maroon will get your hands sweaty watching it lol.
“I need to vomit and take a nap ... or maybe nap and take a vomit” bahahahahaha great vid! Looking forward to more!
This is the best Episode in the series. No bullshit, double feature, full exhaustion, dope angles and the sickest short radius turns @
So cool guys! Actually glad you forgot the sled keys. A much better story!
That looks so fun!
yes! what a way to start Wed, a nice strong cup of joe and another episode from The Fifty - THANKs!! Some of the best skiing filming yet, wow. Esp that sequence of Pete (I think?) coming down the Cross Couloir, damn, that was steep. Great job guys doing those 2 back to back, impressive!
Winter is near. Your videos help with the withdrawals. Thank you Cody.
hard core love it ...your cinematography is beautiful
