    And the hiking trail up Robson is still closed half way up. There is another entrance but it is a long long detour

    It will not be done by the end of the year, that’s for sure. The main problem is so many of the crux lines overlap on timing. With the need to spend a lot of time on the cruxes, I can’t go in wham-bam style. Plus that’s not what I want to do in terms of personal preference, safety and film making. This project would’ve been a lot easier without the film making / episode creation aspect of it. But I’d also be broke and not have a job anymore. Plus I really really enjoy the creative process and story telling aspect. My hope this next year is to get 5 done and work on the last two in the background quietly.

    However it works out it's a monumental effort, good on ya. We've all enjoyed your teams hard work. Insane amount of effort.

    My intermediate skier wife watched a couple Fifty episodes over my shoulder at the computer and decided she wanted to watch the whole series (on our TV). She likes Cody because he does not come off as a conceited brobrah. And she likes the scenery, and the uphill. Anyway it has been interesting to go back and revisit the early episodes and compare the production value to the more recent episodes. Pretty damn cool creative project, Cody. You and Bjarne deserve major props.

    This has surely pushed forward the envelope of what is possible, it would have been a shame not to document it.

    The route finding, solid judgement, knowing when to say when all contribute to a orchestra of back country deliciousness that will be hard to surpass or even equal. Do it in Europe and Asia next?

    The Cody and Bjarne type II fun team is great to watch and the “colorful” side characters flush out the story.

    After having watched the progression of ski movies over the years i feel this has evolved it to a better and more realistic endeavor. One that many of us could dream to attempt a line or two.

    Kudos to Mrs Cody, Elise, in that she has allowed him to sally forth and travel in the mtns as I would surmise she and he would rather spend time with the family unit at times.

    Keep on doing what yall be doing.

    Had you just ticked of all 50 lines, your name would just be a line in some obscure skiing reference book. Kind of like Dav's and the Colorado 14s project. This is a body of work that will be around and watched for sometime to come. As Yeahman has said, it is fun to go back and watch previous episodes, and I always look forward for the next drop. It will be a good summer activity to rewatch the episodes on a big TV, but I think it will take more then a few six packs.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...

    15 years later and the person who didn't secure film permits for Dav's 14ers movie is STILL catching flack

    I kayak, and it would be rad if Cody and Bjarne linked up with Erik Boomer and Sarah McNair-Landry up there. They've done some awesome human/dog-powered arctic ski+ expeditions

    I accused her of having a crush on Cody but she said she wants to see him without a hat first.

    I appreciate the time this project has taken. Alot of things these days seem to be rush, rush, rush. Be safe out there, I'll gladly wait however long before the next episode.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. It's always nice to see the judgement and decision making in the episodes.
