The most remote classic of The FIFTY, The Polar Star is an iconic ski line. Set on the Arctic island of Baffin, the Polar Star Couloir is aesthetic, breath-taking couloir set among an island of ice, Polar Bears and towering granite walls. Joining up with Cody Townsend on his attempt to ski "The Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America" is one of the world's best ski mountaineers and steep skiers, Vivian Bruchez. Though the goal of the journey is to ski The Polar Star, a plethora of steep, challenging and beautiful ski lines await in Baffin...and a lesson in just what makes Vivian one of the world's best, comes to light.

@@CodyTownsend maybe even the best way to make a lasting impression, since you’ve already got enough attention as far as I can tell. Eg this episode has an experimental narrative structure w the bait/switch of “oh hey we got the objective early, now what?” As a good show-not-tell about how mountain adventures aren’t objective driven but dialogues with whatever nature puts in front of you, that you may not have seen coming, either way.

Impossible not to have a huge smile by the end of this. Viv stole the show and really showcased how much each touring partner's personality affects the group morale especially when things get sketchy. So many creative anchors that are beyond mix climbing. What a pleasure to watch you all master so many unique features and be so incredibly calm while doing so. Big shouts to Bjarne for filming in such steep and at times dangerous conditions. A masterclass in short.

I've watched almost the whole FIFTY with my kids. My 4 year old son always asks, "he skis, why do we snowboard?" and "is that OUR mountain?". Which leads to funny conversations around growing up in California in the 90s and these not taking place at our now local mountain, Brighton. My 2 year old daughter absolutely loves the hiking/climbing parts and takes naps during skiing and monologues. So to Cody and the whole team, thanks for giving me a great off-season way to bond around winter sports with my family, all the while avoiding more Cocomelon and Bluey.

Too often climbing, skiing and misc. mountaineering content gets lost in slightly cringy attempts to provide some pretentious narrative frame. This episode goes for the angle beyond the immediate action - and nails it! What an excellent work of content this is. Cody, Bjarne and team succeed in treating and presenting alpinism better than most alpinism films. When they dabble in the personal interest angle - they do it better than most articles or biopics. This short epsiode gave me more added value on a mountain celebrity than did Herzog's documentary with Reinhold Messner. Bravo, and most of all thank you.

I'm from Costa Rica, moved to Uath about 3 years ago and the love for the mountains and the respect for nature has grown since I first made it here. The love is shared amongst others like all of these legends in here that make life feel like an adventure. Keep it going guys!!

2:53, the spirit of Ueli Steck lives on out there. Such an incredible adventure (and videography), made even better by that small tribute.

What an awesome personality Viv has! A smile and a "let's go have a look," when things get rough can make a climb that you'd otherwise retreat from; what a rad guy. Really cool to watch your progression as an alpinist, Cody. I started watching the series as someone with an interest in alpine climbing and no experience in skiing. Since starting though, I've taught myself to ski and have really enjoyed watching you go through the parallel process of learning to climb and move through the mountains in a safe, controlled and measured manner. Always cool to see that no matter how much you've mastered in one area there's always room to learn more 🤙

As a 30yo french dude, I follow you too since The Battle of Alaska with you and Henrik Windstedt, and Viv since his Midi mega mix so more than 10 years for both of you. You both have been an inspiration to me, especially Viv who is a legend right here. 10 years ago I haven't done any ski touring and thanks to inspirations like you I skied the Godmother couloir in Norway this year. Thank you guys for inspiring me years after years . So happy to see you in a same movie with such stunning lines and landscapes
