In this episode, we're thrilled to have Cody Townsend back on the show as he continues his quest to ski The Fifty, cementing his legacy in the world of ski mountaineering. Cody shares his latest adventures, including a thrilling three-part Bugs to Rogers Traverse and some incredible lines, such as the Skyladder and a return to The Sphinx in Alaska. He also discusses his progress with the project and how he's preparing for the spicier and more logistically complex descents, which could extend the timeline of the Fifty Project by several years.

Of course, we couldn't talk to Cody without discussing gear, and he and Doug delve into the evolution of Salomon's touring boot lineup, including the release of the new QST Echo 106 ski, which is more touring-oriented than its predecessors. So whether you're a seasoned pro or a newbie to the backcountry scene, tune in for some valuable insights and plenty of stoke!
