I have a decently recent photo of it in primo conditions, in a time of year I didn't quite expect. If the snow is in, it looks like an incredibly amazing ski. To me, Robson is the least scary of the last 4, but potentially the hardest to nail because of the combination of a miracle of snow sticking to blue ice and good weather. Oh and I also have factual evidence it has been skied by more than 3 people. Canadians put the JHAF to shame when it comes to being swift, silent and deep.
I've seen this bubble up a little bit of being "guided" throughout this series. Which people are free to believe whatever they want. But I have never hired a guide for this entire project. Vivian is both a guide and a professional skier, so was able to fund his travels through sponsors. The dynamics of a trip change entirely when you "hire" a guide and whenever I'm with trained guides on lines, we always have a pre-trip discussions to reiterate that we are all partners, a team and equal part contributors to decisions. Without that discussion the roles we all play in the mountains can get muddled, confusing and potentially dangerous.

The FIFTY
Thanks for the response. Sorry if you’ve answered that question before. It was difficult to tell in your video and the complimentary video from the others on Baffin Island raised the question in my head.
I understand the dynamics you mention. I often play in the mountains and rivers with friends that are or were professional guides, and I have been one myself. My experience is those dynamics get trickier with the tweens and their parents, “My impulsive kid will be fine on their first camping/backpack trip with friends because Cody’s going and he’s a professional…..” and in reality, your going because you have time, the vehicle to get a bunch of kids to the trailhead, love the kids, and love being in the backcountry with your kid.

Thanks, us too. So good.
Always thought it presumptuous to claim a first.
Specially nowadays.
Better to claim a first known one.
Better yet to say nothing and leave the adventure unknown for the next comer...Time spent skiing cannot be deducted from one's life.

Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

it's funny to extoll doing cool stuff but not telling people about it in a thread about a project of doing cool stuff with friends and making/sharing videos about it and all of us enjoying consuming it

There’s a difference between Average Joe and a spancered athlete.
I really enjoyed this series of videos but if someone else did this and told no one did it still mean something? Of course

You're not wrong!
For me it kinda goes both ways I guess. I appreciate both sides. I've known some people that have done really cool stuff and didn't tell many people about it and I certainly appreciate Cody sharing this adventure. Before all the social stuff shit would go down all over like the JHAF guys or whomever and you might read about it a year later in powder mag. It's just a different time and I appreciate the old school and the new school.
