Just watched. Great episode, great perspective. And there was one little segment in there, with a gopro skiing down some lower angle untracked pow, that just rang my bell, so to speak, that just said "wow, I need that, I want that, and winter's coming so I might get that soon".
Nice work."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

Loved the middle teton and the return if the fifty. Seriously Cody you're onto something here. This has got me more stoked for skiing in a 15 in a youtube video than the normal fall offerings of ski films. Well, I was stoked on those too, but this was different/better.

As to why your rucking water on the up and not on the down - at least some of it to enhance your eccentric effort; I'm confused... sensitive set of achilles?
That said, maybe this pro tip will help too /:~>
high regard for what you've done
looking forward to what you doI am not in your hurry

So if you guys want the whole background of why I'm training with heavy bags on the way up, going slow and keeping my heart rate low, check out Steve House's book, "Training for the New Alpinism". I don't entirely understand the physiological basis but it makes sense to me after going through what I went through last year.
Oh and to why I'm dumping water at the top...because fuck carrying 55lbs of water downhill. My meniscuses would probably explode if I was trying that. But ultimately there isn't a need be training concentrically for my quads as the skiing part, which relies on concentric muscle contraction, isn't as nearly exhausting as six thousand vert of boot packing, eccentric muscle work going up.

formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.

Cool concept, makes logical sense... curious if you can update us on how you feel later in the season versus past couple years. How much you weighing these days, you look thinner than before this whole Fifty thing.

Just did a binge watch of all the episodes. My satellite TV provider started to carry the youtube channel. Freakin' awesome to watch on the big screen and not the computer.
So I was curious about the injury/rescue episode. Was there any ever backstory to that? Where did he come from? Did he follow your tracks? Private heli? Injuries? How is the person doing? Quite an amazing story for sure.

I would have some respect for this if they went out and did it quietly, without any fanfare or publicity. No matter how impressive the feat (which it objectively is), I have no respect for the self-aggrandizing Instatwit bullshit.

Cool. Well then I've got the guy for ya. Noah Howell has been quietly trying the fifty classics for well over a decade. Ah shit, you know what, he's making a movie too about it because it's rad to get paid to ski. Like really cool. I mean, no office, no bosses, set your own schedule, go ski for the day and it's technically a "work day", tax write offs are great too... Hmm, well looks like you're gonna have to do your best to ignore it. Or wait, why don't you give it a try and don't tell a soul, then maybe you'll have some respect for yourself! Give'r buddy!
