    Cody, I figured out your issue with the transition. Killian goes right hand with poles, you went left

    The undercurrent of levity throughout the whole series is much appreciated. It rings truer for me and my experiences chasing lines as opposed to something like La Liste which makes everything seem like such a serious and noble undertaking.

    I really like La Liste btw, not dissing it or anything. It's just that Fifty strikes a chord with my ski life.

    The stuff in La Liste was a lot more serious.

    To be fair.

    There's some pretty serious lines on the 50 list that Cody is going for as well. And last I checked 50 is greater than 15.

    to be fair.

    Agreed. La Liste was "too rad". The skiing displayed is certainly cool but very risky. "Progression" of the sport isn't worth it IMHO if the risk carries a huge cost that could be mitigated with slightly slower/ more cautious skiing. I don't think it's something we should encourage.

    I appreciate seeing Alka skiing like he has a family waiting for him at home. He certainly has the skills to go all out (ie his matchstick parts, "the crack", etc) but I'm glad to see the other side of skiing big lines, which is deliberate movements and careful decision making.

    Totally different ballgame. Different premise. The skiing in La Liste is the best I've ever seen, and it's my favourite ski film/video/whatev.

    I love this series, though, and it's great to see the different personalities come out. Also incredibly impressive that Cody and co can do an episode every two weeks.

    Did Bjarne keep up with you on that while filming? If so, the guy truly is a beast.

    What makes you all think he’s not going to ski university peak al la liste-style.... or one of the other descents?....

    And to be fair, mount st Elias is one the list of 50, in terms of risk and huge costs....
