I'm still a little baffled there wasn't some sort of trail on the Stimson approach. Is it all wilderness?

National Park. Seems they went up a drainage (Pinchot) without a trail. The drainage north has one, but would leave the trail at 4k ft elevation to go up the NW face...no idea if anyone goes that way. Someone up thread mentioned taking trail to Nyack cabin, then the Stimson cr drainage to the pass. Guessing there is a bit of brush after leaving the trail on either of those and would be good amount of flat trail miles.

Just finished watching Castle peak, looks fun. Impressive riding Canadian for 10 miles with loaded packs. Or was that just for cameras and you went nuts on butts when not filming? :-)
As I was watching thought, man that peak looks familiar...turns out I mountain biked past it fall of 2014 prior to becoming a Wilderness area.
Such an amazing area, never been there in the winter, but adding to my ski to do list...camping in Chamberlain basin would be awesome, since I probably couldn't pull it off as a day trip.

The summit lunch bullshitting from the Castle episode was one of my favorite bits of film in the whole series. More of that please!

Another awesome episode (Castle).
You guys really captured the camaraderie that can happen in skiing.
Now I'm even more stoked for the upcoming season!Smoke'em If You Got'em

Wow. Thanks for that story and glad our little day out could connect with ya. I think we went in having no idea what the story on the line would be but to just capture as much of as it as possible, even more than we really do. As the day rolled on I realized the story was just about Bjarne and I interacting, having fun, shooting the shit and eating lunch on the summit. That to me is as much of the fun of ski touring is as the line, the snow and the skiing. So that camaraderie we experience as backcountry skiers was the story and I do hope you can find that again. Bjarne and I didn't know each other super well into this series and you can obviously tell from the episode, we have that.

You’re doing great work this season, from a slog fest to hanging out on a summit on a perfect day, celebrating the variety of ways we enjoy ski touring. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Thanks to Cody and Bjarne for this series that connects with skiers on every level.

I find the short films/episodes more interesting to rewatch or watch than most of the ski movies...It is a good series.

Just chiming in to say I caught the St Elias episode (Summit Fever) on the big screen as part of the Quality Time ski fest last week (https://www.salomon.com/en-us/storie...time-film-tour). Great episode and great seeing it up there and as part of this excellent ski film fest. Go see it if it comes to your town.

"I AM NOT THINKING ANYMORE, BECAUSE I'M SKIINNING."
Been there so many times. Don't talk to me.
All I have to say is how much it resonates with me, and makes me want to motivate for another objective on my sloppy list of stupid shit. Thanks you fucking mag.
That should be a bumper sticker btw.
I have one line that I will hopefully ski before I die. I know it hasn't been skied. It's a bitch to get to, but I've been wanting it for over a decade, just like my last line.
This gives me the motivation to continue that quest.

Yeah, most chill episode of the series then the one that had me hoping Cody doesn't have too bad of heat stroke.
