LOL>>>>LOL>>>>LOL. Super funny, super serious, super great route. The initial strip-down followed immediately by an enveloping blast of freezing wind was hilarious. The unfailing, light-heartedness from there made it an entertaining AND inspiring story.
My Brother Andy Gump Traslin has done this traverse 25 times...I have hit 22....Thought about bring our speed suits a few times.....We both Rando raced for 9 years.....funny perspective.....I hear you on the speed suit......But just like cross country bike racing....It would be tough to race in Jordache jeans.....Christian Hosoi made tights look great.....I played high level ice hockey and I knew some pretty tough dudes who would wear tights underneath there equipment. I think in Europe they are less concerned about what people think....Thanks for reminding me about this wonderful Province I grew up in. Get it. Killian Jornet is the Tony Hawk or Gretzky of Ski Mountaineering. I first hit this on Secura fixes in the early 90s with Andy Gump... Then by chance Pennywise was playing in the Whistler Village then again until 3 or 4 in the morning at the bottom of Blackcomb.....
@@CodyTownsend Cool, thanks for update. Loving this series btw! Stoked to live vicariously & see you guys shred Robson & dodge polar bears up on Baffin
Killian wears Pierre's boots. They have to be worth at least three hours . Also should have had some fan boys standing next to the skin track yelling "CODY, CODY CODY! That stoke would have been worth another 20 minutes. FKT would have been yours, Bro. All kidding aside, I bet if you wanted you'd be really good at it.
Rad! Many style points earned in the Ski Mo Hall of Fames for minimalist gear and supplies. Don't know if I could ever pull it off! I'm always the guy with a heavy camera and extra food and water, ect.... :D
I know you've said these traverses are the hardest to find people for; it would be hilarious if you did the Rogers to Bugs traverse with Katie Burrell (The genius behind Dream Job)
I love the fact you were in full regalia with the suit and pink Pomoca skins. You even had a proper skimo skin wiggle going. Pretty legit. You wimped out just a touch with the fat skis. You shoulda gone with race sticks for full entertainment value. But considering what you usually ski on, I bet they felt pretty tiny.
@@littlelawson06 Yeah, those are actually Killian Jornet's pow skiing model. So while that's the skinniest and shortest ski I've skied since I was like 11 years old, those are actually fat skis in terms of the ski mo racing world. Crazy huh?
Headlamps on at the bar. Power moves only.
Do you get gnar points for that?
@@Ranar14 More gnar points than wearing a harness to the bar.
Is it still la graving if you aren't in Europe?
@@CodyTownsend Hey, Cody, you misspelled "The" in the title of this video. Might need to brush up on that. (Negative points) Ha!
All-American Handyman I can’t believe you were the first one to catch that. Holy heck! Nice work and fixed.
I loved the juxtaposition of a hip Whistler bar playing club music being a place of lonely sadness.
My favorite one yet! The ending at the bar... belly laugh.
“I have my doubts, but, you are Cody Townsend!” Nuff said.

That was the best! So funny and your temper tantrum at the end. Then the sad face downing beer at the bar. Love it!
with the headlamp still on...
Ok, who else thought they'd never see Cody in tights and skinny skis? That was hilarious 😊
Well I guess most people didn't have the misfortune of watching me be a ski racer for a decade.
@@CodyTownsend - no problem. I'm enjoying the view!
How did Bjarne keep up with you? He sounded like he was hardly out of breath! :)
I always enjoy the comedy bits, like at the end. Very enjoyable.
I Salomon (ly) swear, this is the best episode YET(I)
Solid puns. This I can dig.
I watched this while shaving this morning, and snortled with laughter into a face full of water seeing your gait at the starting gun. Keep it up Cody!
Love the humor of this episode/ line. So good!
Awesome & hilarious! Thank you
Possibly the best mountain skiing vid ever
This was the funniest so far in the series. What a great series.
So much to love here.
I just became a Cody fan.
didn't think rondo could be this fun to watch! thanks bud
👌. Super fun to watch.
‘I think I’m out of water, do you have any?’ 🤣🤣
Excellent!!!
Another brilliant episode😂 you have the right spirit, Cody!
I'm bingeing this series. loving it!
"I WORKED REALLY HARD FOR THIS!!!" ahahahaha. First step wrong, calling Greg instead of Killian :P
Problem is I don't speak Klingon so can't talk to Killian...
Love this series.
This is the best thing i've ever seen.
Omg. The transition practice is hilarious!
Fantastic. Reality can be tense.
This is really impressive Cody. You did it man, amazing job.
Yay 😀 you did it! So proud of you😏
Best episode yet!
What a finish! And I thought the intro was great. This series is live
Favourite episode yet!
very late to this episode... I used compete in skimo racing and now I want to get back into it lol XD
Loved the cat watching him practice.
fantastic!
I think i saw your inner McConkey coming out. Thank you Cody. Let him stay alive.
I love how concerned your cat is @1:59 "boss, are you ok???"
Good one!
You made it to the other side🤝 believe that’s a goal it’s self
This was epic 20/20
Classic drinking beer alone at the flaming bar.
Haha .. awesome . thanks for great entertainment !
I love you man.
Definitely earned that sufferfest beer at the end
I think that's great you added that to the mix. All that was missing was the rifle... Biathlon!
The spirit of GNAR makes a backcountry appearance
I've been doing a lot!
The temper tantrum was the best part
This had me cracking up

Hilarious! and such a cool traverse
Jajaja…lo mejor la pataleta final….y la cervecita 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh man, you were so close! Just keep working on those transitions and Im sure you will get the FKT :)
Yeah, if I could shave a bit off those transitions I bet I could make up those lost hours pretty quickly.
@@CodyTownsend Just out of curiosity, when was this done? Conditions looked perfect!
@@itsnowingrightnow Late February I believe.
@@CodyTownsend Cool, thanks for update. Loving this series btw! Stoked to live vicariously & see you guys shred Robson & dodge polar bears up on Baffin
This is pretty much my day hiking pace.
Pretty fucking spot on with ski mo vibes. All speed and time, nothing else. On par with fruit boots.
Hahahahaha loved the ending!
😂😂😂😂 This series is the best!
Man I want to be able to travel again...
FKT actually stands for "Fat Kid Treats." Just needed more snacks!
That was awesome!! I think you have a future in Skimo racing, just keep trying!!
Anyone know the song playing at 11:14? Its on the tip of my tongue, woulf appreciate help
So ski-mo, much brutal.

Being prepared is so old school now. They all expect a free rescue if it gets gnarly.
My dreams finally came true. I can die now.
faster than greg hill.! overestimating your cardio by a mile there. funniest video so far
"3 hrs is the record time. I think you have to shave it off w like...many hrs." 😂😂😂
I almost thought I was watching Kilian Jornet for second...
Really enjoyed this one and wanted to like it but it's at 420. AHHHHHHH
Bahahaha Cody you’re the friggin man!!
🤣🤣🤣 Love it!
Lol. You Rock!
Does Salomon sell those puffy short mid layer? Can't seem to find it online.
OK, that was fuckin' hilarious. I have friends who do the whole "pipette et moule-bite" skimo thing, that is so them.
So good. I think you might have a little Nordic in you....nice stride!
This was hilarious, also typo in the title
Lmafo nice
Great vid! Anybody knows what glasses he's wearing at 06:06 ?
Looks like sunglasses to me.
I know you've said these traverses are the hardest to find people for; it would be hilarious if you did the Rogers to Bugs traverse with Katie Burrell (The genius behind Dream Job)
What a program or site do you use for planning track?
Hey man you ripp!
Takes off sensible down jacket to expose...........Lycra.
Strikes cross country skier pose.
Single wind gust.
"Aaaaahhhhhh....fuck this!!"
Great effort though!
Ranks up there with the snowblades, when you gonna put skins on the blades?
what app are you using to plan your routes?
Dude what‘s your upspeed and epoc?
It was too fast to measure really.
what's that app you're using to plan your route? thank you
first? amazing video as always.
You have a Vizsla. Best dogs in the world!
1:20 the numbers mason! what do they mean?!?
What is the Software he was using when planning the route?
Google Earth
Can someone explain what that big pink sticker thing is that he puts onto his skis? Does that protect the skis?
Like he is pulling off at 2:06
They're called skins. Synthetic material that gives grip for uphill in snow. Fibres are angled so they'll slide fwd and grip going backward.
what is in your cooler? is it just water or is it nasty food saturated water?
I love the fact you were in full regalia with the suit and pink Pomoca skins. You even had a proper skimo skin wiggle going. Pretty legit. You wimped out just a touch with the fat skis. You shoulda gone with race sticks for full entertainment value. But considering what you usually ski on, I bet they felt pretty tiny.
Brian Harder I’m not sure I’d call a 164cm 79mm ski a fat ski...
@@littlelawson06Wider than 65MM = fat ski in skimo 😂
@@littlelawson06 Yeah, those are actually Killian Jornet's pow skiing model. So while that's the skinniest and shortest ski I've skied since I was like 11 years old, those are actually fat skis in terms of the ski mo racing world. Crazy huh?
Running out of water? You're standing on water Buddy.
What helmet is that?
Hahaha nice one
Classic haha!
Cody’s a trip lol
😄😄😄👍🏼
