The FIFTY - Line 27/50 - Mt. Moran, WY - The Best Line Yet?!?!

[@nartcara4560]

"Touring at night is overrated, and touring at night is very lowly rated" By far the best quote by Cody

[@Joepvn]

I don't really agree though... Touring in the moonlight in the mountains is magical, and seeing the sun slowly light up the ski while the stars are still visible is something else. Also, you get to ski first thing in the morning, powder with no sun crust.

[@reagan.wallis]

lol, I rarely skin in the day.

[@darryld9333]

Thought the exact same thing. Laughed out loud.

[@hobmarg]

@@Joepvn Not so much if you wake up in a tent at an absurdly early hour... if it's full moon maybe not as bad but it's the nauseous feeling of not enough sleep + physical exertion that sucks.

[@devilaces]

Night touring is pretty cool! :D But that's different then waking up 6 hours early to start a pretty tough slog.

[@SalomonTV]

We can't think of ways you can top this one, Cody. But, we're sure you will! 😉🙌🏼

[@ronjohnson7388]

8:26 has to be one of the coolest shots in the whole series!

[@CodyTownsend]

Such an amazing time-lapse.

[@sortac08]

@@CodyTownsend Really Great Stuff Cody

[@pfscanna]

The fact that you (with the help of Bjarne and others obviously) are providing the backcountry community with this series is something that should not be taken for granted by us viewers. We're lucky to be able to be watch you tackle this amazing challenge, all while spreading the stoke and education of the mountains. Whatever your sponsors are paying you it's not enough

[@CodyTownsend]

Thank you. Many people probably don't know just how crazy the workload behind producing and publishing this video series is. It's the busiest I've ever been in my life and I've already started a company as a comparison. But it's worth it on the back end and nice comments like this are appreciated.

[@Chris_Pucci]

Is it weird that I'm watching this while riding my indoor bike in a garage that is almost 80F? I'm hooked on this series!

[@janpetrou1898]

Epic line and big thumbs up to that "guy with camera" ..haha to Bjarne Salen of course. Just wanna pinpoint that hard work behind the scene which you cannot really see..

[@panthera65x]

From the sunrise at 9:18 until the end of the video, I was smiling ear to ear, laughing, and in absolute awe of the view, the mountain, and this line. As a stand alone video, this is incredible! I'd love to recomend this video to others. But I won't, I'll recommend the entire series, because to appreciate the true beauty of Ep. 27 you need to have followed the story being told through the previous 26 episodes. The highs and lows, the relentless bootpacking up, the thousands of feet of hard paked side stepping, the down climbing, all of the descents that didn't quite go to plan, the last minute cancellations that never make it to film. Next to all that this video was perfection. Thank you Cody and Bjarne for sharing this adventure with us, and of course thank you to each and every "Guest Star" that has joined you along the way. All of whom, truly are Stars!!

[@michael.finally]

I feel like most of the 50 lines are "It's impressive we skied that!" while lines like this one are more about "wow that was a good ski!!!!" keep killing it this is the best content out there

[@mylessvec6440]

This is my favorite series on KZbin! Keep it up man.

[@tms977]

12:10 'I'm really excited' - you can FEEL how pumped they all are! What a great feeling

[@skyjockbill]

OMG that was so much fun! Best day I ever had in the alps started with two or three hours head torch night climbing from an already high overnight, rewarded with dawn and hours of skiing down in perfect conditions. we left a very high hut in the alps at about 3:30 in the morning and climbed with headlamps for about three hours before we got to a summit ridge. The sun came up, and a sea of clouds lay a couple of thousand feet below us. We began to ski down towards it, in glorious conditions. As we approached the clouds I watched the first of us disappear into the them, and followed with my heart in my mouth, fearing we would all be forced to slow to a snail's pace in white out. To my joy, I could see clearly for about 40 yards in front of me as we kept moving, and could safely ski at full pace until we burst through into warm sunshine about 30 minutes later. In a crazy kind of way, it made me feel like I was in a film - Brigadoon - which had bewitched me as a child. Deep joy just to recollect that experience!

[@Himynameisnapkin]

Got the chills watching everyone ski that line, such good snow t2b and wide turns

[@bartvanham2647]

what a line!!!!!!! keep it up Cody!!! cheers!!!

[@pistacher9454]

Great series, Cody (and everyone involved)! You could do a bio episode for all of us who don't know your history! It would be great to hear in your own words and please include the GNAR years! Thanks again!

[@davideldridge9021]

So glad for a new 50 as is everyone else. Being stuck inside for 2 months missing out on spring skiing it's nice to tag along.

[@contscot]

Every time I watch this, it fills me with the kind of joy you usually only get when you're a little kid.

[@rwadge08]

Exactly what the ski community needs right now. Thanks, Cody.

[@connor8398]

sick vid! line looked epic. MAJOR creds to bjarne for all the work he does. it was super apparent in this vid in particular from all of the wide angle time lapses and other various “filler” clips that require a whole lot more effort than one might guess. rock on y’all 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Tom_Bradley]

Opening KZbin and seeing that a new Fifty project episode has been released feels like Christmas morning.

[@DS-zj2on]

My favorite mountain...55 years later after nostalgic summers working in Jackson and daily forays to Colter Bay, I live thru the videos of others. BEAUTIFULLY filmed and beautiful runs. Thank you.

[@tilioforeign]

mad respect for Hadley Hammer, few words, big balls, on a proper setup as well

[@sevenzdown]

Viewers can tell when you're having a blast. That looked like huge fun before you said it was huge fun.

[@jimgooch3704]

Great remote night shots -- credit to Bjarne? What a great tour for the last of an early year. Thanks again, to all involved.

[@CodyTownsend]

Yes it was!

[@robjewkes7246]

Cody so happy your getting another line out for all of us die hard skiers out there. Nice!

[@graemearmstead9237]

Locked down and watching everyone enjoy such a fun line makes me hope that someone finds a cure for this damn virus really soon.

[@CodyTownsend]

Me too man. Me too. I'm sick of being stuck at home not doing cool stuff in the mountains.

[@johndee1855]

… luv you guys … like every human be that ever lived … I wish I could have 20 yrs back …is that too greedy … finally getting proficient in bumps , quick turns , steeps in powder ( northeast skier here ) … ice is our snow … I envy….amicably u guys that hike , tour , ski the back country in those uncharted powder paradises ….

[@CodyTownsend]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ondrejjanoska660]

I watched all 27 videos in i believe 4 days....in breaks of watching climbed 3000 verticals meters....And tomorrow another 1200 on the front of me....Buzzing ...Hi from Alps

[@mikesandydotnet]

Cody, I LOVE the sufferfest aspects of this series, but, I'm not going to lie, it was nice to see some super-fun skiing for once! Thank you again, and stay safe.

[@RandDCustoms2]

That looked like a total blast of a line! I know what you mean about the freaky feeling on the touring part. While hunting in the Michigan UP very early one morning I had a big bobcat run right by me on the trail in my headlamp light! That will get your attention.

[@brwilkinson1977]

Forgot how Epic the skiing was in this episode... Wide open turns,.... Aaaaall the way down to the lake.. ❤️😁😎👆👇.. I just love rewatching these.

[@1llski]

Those perma-grins at 13:10. Bringing the joy to everyone in lockdown. Thanks!!

[@rohanverco8717]

Hello from Australia Cody. Found the 50 series on the first day of self isolation. It's been great watching during a crap time in the world. Keep up the good work. PS, night time shots and the sunrise were awesome in this vid. Cheers

[@CodyTownsend]

Welcome aboard!

[@gumwap1]

Having skied this line myself, This video does not do justice to the steepness of the top of that line. It’s big, steep, and very intimidating. A burly one for sure. Well done.

[@Rob-ts3cx]

Halfway through re-watching this series for the fourth time and WOW it really doesn't get old. This has to be the best series on KZbin!

[@CodyTownsend]

Thanks Rob!

[@edwardlobb931]

This video is astounding. I submit, that in less than twenty minutes this work ranks highest among the most inspiring of the genre. Truly - I couldn't stop smiling and still can't whenever recalling it. A masterpiece.

[@CodyTownsend]

Why thank you Edward. So very kind.

[@edwardlobb931]

@@CodyTownsend You're welcome, and thank you for all of the great videos you and your team have given us. Apologies for taking so long to respond. Covid was more of a retreat than I realized.

Every episode is like a mini ski movie. Great production quality

[@seanlayton1967]

At a time when I'm not finding myself smiling much this gave me a sustained ear to ear grin. Thank you. And thanks for the great content and inspiration. Looking forward to more.

[@tef6988]

Yeaaaahhhh!!!!! CODY AND GANG !!!! So gooooood

[@tomstah]

Thanks Cody...a little joy from the other side of self isolation. After some rather “meh!” conditions on some of your descents, the stars aligned on this one and had us all grinning and whooping.

[@slimigan]

I just watched this again, 8 months later, 1) because it's awesome and 2) because I can't wait for more FIFTY content to drop. Also Elyse's TGR video that came out today reminded me to rewatch...

Nothing but the privilege of lifestyle choices. You guys are awesome and inspirational. Thank you for inviting Hadley, she is a goer and such a cute smile, always! Editing, music selection, and footage are amazing. Another great job is done by Bjarne! What a team player!!!!!

[@muddyhumber]

Last year's final episode was a joyous party of luminaries. This year, smaller group, and retrospective joy; thinking back on less stressful time and with the luminousity of an early morning descent in spring. Another fantastic year of inspiring content. Bjarne is an artist for sure. Thanks - hope you have a great summer; let's look forward to a return of good things next season.

[@JoshMalczyk]

yay Hadley! and Cody and Ming and Bjarne. very cool.

[@CodyTownsend]

Yeah was super psyched the timing worked out perfectly for linking up with Hads. Thanks Josh'er

BOOOOM Now that was a 118 line. I put that on my list of lines I want to ski in my life. Thanks for a great video team!

Definitely a line fit for the 118's. Oh and yeah, Mt. Moran deserves a bucket list line.

Wow!! I was grinning from ear to ear for your whole descent.

[@noahborthen3533]

I think this is one of the first lines you've done in this series that just straight up (well, straight down) look like a lot of fun. Many of the other lines look incredible, but also technically (and probably emotionally) exhausting. This one just looks like a ton of fun!

[@CodyTownsend]

It indeed was. Though definitely not easy to get to.

[@shmergan]

This is by far the best episode yet.

Yet another epic ascend and descend. I could not believe you guys woke up in the middle of the night and did such a dreadful hike at night.
