On January 9, 2025, onX Backcountry will be hosting an exclusive webinar with Cody Townsend and Bjarne Salen, the two creators of the iconic Fifty Project. The masterclass will dive into the intricate details that go into each mission chronicled in The Fifty, which is a project created by Townsend several years ago in an attempt to climb and ski every line chronicled in the book, “The Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America.”
Last March, the crew announced they would be ending The Fifty… kind of. While the future remains open for this dynamic duo, the past accomplishments live on through the 46 lines documented thus far. Picking apart this insane journey will be well worth the price of admission, which leads us to the best part; it’s free!
Townsend is a skier who needs little introduction. He’s appeared in Matchstick Production films for the last decade, climbed the ranks in both the worlds of freeride and mountaineering, rode the infamous Crack that you’ve seen on social media thousands of times and far more. But The Fifty is a different beast compared to any goal he, or nearly any other skier has embarked on before.
Salen is an incredibly accomplished cinematographer and skier who has joined and filmed Townsend on each line the duo have skied throughout the course of The Fifty project. If you think climbing and skiing these peaks is tough, try doing so loaded with camera gear and documenting the whole process. Don’t miss this limited chance to dive into the minds of these two legends of the sport!
Join us for an exclusive masterclass on January 9, 2025, to go behind the scenes of the Fifty Project. Cody Townsend and Bjarne Salen will take you on a journey through the intricacies of planning and accomplishing the challenging lines documented in the Fifty Project. From mapping strategies to the on-ground execution, gain insights into how these experts tackle each line with precision. Whether you’re an adventure enthusiast or just curious about the world of extreme sports, this is your chance to learn from the pros!
The webinar will kick off January 9, 2025 at 6:00 PM MST
