The FIFTY - 46/50 - Bloody Couloir - The End
Having skied this line over 20 years ago, the Bloody Couloir in the Eastern Sierra Mountains of California, is a full circle journey for The FIFTY. Joined by an all-star crew of friends and pros, this is the final line of The FIFTY --so far. While there are still four lines to attempt, the end of the FIFTY UA-cam series is marked by the return to a classic couloir in classic FIFTY style, with a load of friends and a little extra bit of walking.
Co-Starring: Elyse Saugstad, Josh Daiek, JT Holmes, Greg Lindsey, Michelle Parker, Ming Poon, Forrest Shearer, Brian Walker, Grayson Schaffer and Drew Pedersen.

Excellent movie. Here you have a very good example of remarkable decision making based on terrain/weather/exposure. You and your team did a hell of a good job
Wow
Im pretty sure the mountains in Alaska make the Austrian mountains look like midgets this chick doesn’t know her mountains
@ 17:05, is Jeremy Jones wearing snow shoes? Did he summit in those and what are they?
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!
Just did Baird’s creek approach last month. I paid quite the toll to find the route. You guys were right on about getting the guide!! But now I know, and I hope no one ever precisely maps it.😊
Who da fuck bicycles in the middle of the day in death valley... haha
⚡️
Self promotion use to be seen as moral turpitude, now it’s just seen as another way to get rich.
Not paying to watch movies used to be prosecuted by the FBI, but now it's just another way to wank off and say dumb stuff to people you don't know.
@@CodyTownsend enough about me let’s talk about me.
I just worked my ass off to do Mt Whitney in one day and Hannold fn rides a bike 100 miles there does harder mountaineers route, and fn skies down to ride back back. Brah. 😮😢
Thanks Cody, Bjarne & your teams for many hours of great content and congrats on achieving so many difficult descents. I'm sure for you guys, doing that specific list of 50 peaks was (and is) a an important goal, but for a viewer like me I could care less about the list. What made it special and different from all the other ski p*rn out there was the people in the episodes and watching them react to varying conditions, environments, and challenges. The planning, approach, camping, (biking), was just as interesting to watch as the descents, regardless of outcome. Just started re-watching the episodes now that the ski season is winding down in CA, and looking forward to seeing more from your channel, whatever it may be. Thanks again!
Cody, this is such a great film - well done to you and your whole team. You guys are such a positive force!
I miss you guys! 🤷
46/50 Not bad. 🐾 Where is a note about what 4 are left? PS Thanks for the years of good vids, Cody.
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you !!! So well done. You give us such a sense of the remoteness and the beauty of this Place on earth.
I will say, the part where you guys go through Oso area, its just people shooting their guns on their property. Don't get how that is so scary....
12:04 using skis to anchor down the tent is genius
"promo sm" 😥
The best drug on earth 🌏
I worked out there at Furnace Creek 128 degrees average daytime temp in the summer no joke!!!
Love the use of music to create tension in all these episodes. It's not just filler music or stoke music. Ex: 4:38
Best part of your videos is you showing how to make good decisions.
I know those trails really well. You simply could have taken the road down back to car and had a much easier time. Besides that awesome film and great skiing.
Absolute magic. Thanks so much for sharing - it's been a joy following the entire series, and I hope we see more!
Perfect - do it the right way. Human power :)
Thank you - Bjarne & Cody... beautiful locations, amazing cinematography & stories..Safe journeys..God bless..
Okay Cody - now lets see Cinco de Mayo 2024 with bluebird conditions!
It’s been an amazing series and I look forward to seeing when productions for the last 4 find their way onto the interwebs in coming years. Thank you for bringing us along in the journey. I always thank the mountain for passage now because of this series. It’s a beautiful way to respect our world.
the ominous Cello background is spot-on for this dangerous line. bravo.
Pine martin
top 10 videos of all time thanks !
How often do you ski with an ABS back pack?
This is the Stony Creek rail bridge I have been across it many times and it is beautiful
"sleeping, snoring farting... No other magic.. just that" 😂
9:01 Doggo! The stories he had, when he got back to the others. "It was magical, not a car in smell." Bonus nachos, seenyour. Bonus nachos.
Did this line last saturday. An absolute beast!
It got that deep and dry at China Peak April 5th...
Best video ever .
Very interesting and super informative video. Very much appreciated. Stay safe!❤
End of an era!

What a great way to celebrate all this 50 project highlights. Ive been along for the ride since day 1 and have loved every second of it. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge , skills, learning and resources required to safely enjoy time in the back county. Also for including us through the suffering, joy, friends and family, natures beauty as well as being your authentic , funny grounded selves. 🤙

Goobers need to start riding at about 1am not noon. Mountain = dangerous at night desert = dangerous in the day. I learned this in a graduate seminar offered by the math department called: What Happens if Your Computer Breaks and Some of You Nerds Accidentally Go Outside.
@CodyTownsend First nice series and good work. How much heavier is Bjarnes gear since he caries so much additional equipment? Also will there ever be a tour of his van, as far as it was seen it looks really nice
