    Reminds me of a 48+ day at Winter Park, Colorado before it went corporate. A 46+ day at Loveland Basin, Co. with my brother Steve. It snowed so much so fast that they couldn't open the lifts until 1PM! One day back in the early 70's when I had never really skied deep powder at A Basin, Co. in over 3 feet. I was with my other brother George who had never skied in powder either. We only had blue jeans with long johns and were so totally soaked by the end of the day that my long johns and legs were dyed blue. I'm 74 now and taking care of my 95 year old mom, but damn I miss those days!

    One of the best lessons I've learned as a skier is not rushing out on pow days.

    Thanks for breaking down terrain management in this episode. The backcountry can be a treacherous place with this much snow-staying informed, making a plan, and sticking to it can help you go in prepared on storm days.

    Love the addition of Steve and Marie-Michelle in this one!
    Especially on the first, less deep day, you can see quite a difference between the very efficient former alpine racers and the film/freeride skiers...
    Back in my school days (~2000-2009) the only time we were allowed to eat lunch infront of the TV at home, was when ski races were on, like e.g. the combined races from Wengen etc. which sometimes took place on fridays.
    But in all those years of watching ski races, i always wondered, if they bring at least one pair of e.g. 95-100 mm wide skis for days when the track gets too much fresh snow and need several hours to clean out the racing line. I mean, wether you bring 30 pairs or 31 pairs of skis, doesn't make a big difference at that point...^^

    • @CodyTownsend
      @CodyTownsend  วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      Lots and lots of stuff I’ve learned over the years. Skiing pow for the camera is a bit of a different thing though. The main way to ski pow is laugh and scream and enjoy it. That’s the best technique I know.

      While it’s really kind to acknowledge Bjarne’s work-he is very good at what he does, I would have to say the radical departure from the FIFTY-especially in this episode-perhaps is coloring your perspective more. I would go deeply into the development of each episode and the process we go thru, but it’s not worth it and could be misinterpreted quite easily. Otherwise we will link back up this next winter for sure.

    I’m sure this was fun skiing, but it is so f*cking boring to watch. So samey-samey, just like every other ski movie ever made. I’d much rather watch some side-slipping on hard ice on the side of mountain or even some rappelling down a couloir. I’m not saying you have to go out and try to be the next Davo Karničar, but something where the outcome isn’t a given makes for an interesting watch.
