    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!

    Thank you Cody and Bjarne. This series has been by far the best to watch on RUclips for the last couple of years. You boys took many of us through the pandemic years and kept things about mountains, how to safely plan and execute back country missions without the moral grandstanding the way other big named mountain outfits I won’t name spend half a video on. You introduced us to your tech stack, your kit, your planning approach, your backcountryX files with your routes, and the video quality has been amazing. You both deserve big awards for this. Really very well done! Thank you, it had meant a lot
