Tighter than a nun's cunt or a dolphin's asshole?

[Shorty_J]

Id love to see the behind the scenes on that line.

How did you know it was doable?

That whole video was incredible

I would like to know answers to the same questions.

[detrusor]

Best line I've seen. You sir have balls that clank when you walk. Nuns cunt.


Killing it with the 3-5 year old crowd!

Behind the scenes of the line really starts a few years ago when I started actively searching for a line like this. Quite often straight-lines and splitter couloirs are in entirely different zones than the typical spines and cliffed out faces we're looking for. So for about 4-5 years I tried to keep my eyes open to zones that could hold some coulees of gnar. 2 years ago I spotted what was quite possibly the single gnarliest pencil chute couloir I've ever seen. 2k+ long, 3-5 feet wide the entire time and straight as an arrow. It would be a zero turn, straightline from death that would feel more like riding the nose of a space shuttle launch than skiing. I took a boat load of pictures of it, scouted the hell out of it but being it was so gnarly and the consequences were so high, I opted not to ski it and let it sit on my mind for a year. Going out this year with the thoughts of some pencil couloir on my mind, I ended up spotting this anomaly of earthen geography. It was a quick glance on a random fly by. What I first saw seemed like a couloir that just ended straight into a cliff wall, a chute with no exit. But I decided to check it out anyways, got dropped off on a nearby ridge and hiked up to scope it out from the top. When I looked down it for the first time, I just about lost my mind in stoke. I couldn't believe that the chute actually ended in a tunnel, not a cliff wall. It was almost instantaneous that I knew I was going to ski it.

After as much scoping as I could, which was only from the top looking down, I decided to hold off on it until the baked out, crusted snow that was in there got some fresh on top. After about two weeks and a reset, it was game on. Since you couldn't look up at it from the bottom because of the turn at the end, nor was there any opposing peak to look at it from across the valley, the hardest thing to determine wasn't how wide the chute was (it looked tight but doable to me) but how long it truly was. Because of the slow narrowing of the chute and because it's hard to gauge the length of something when you're looking straight down it, the chute seemed far shorter to me then it ended up being. It was till after the first turn that I realized, "holy fuck, this thing is waaay longer than I thought and i'm going to be going mach-a-fucking-looney by the end of it". My only true concern with the chute was the turn at the end. If I was going too fast to make the turn, well then I would've Wil-e-Coyote'ed myself into oblivion. So in the middle of the chute all I was trying to do was keep some semblance of control, though because the snow ended up being kind of shitty, the room to turn was almost nil, I ended up with some 60 mile per hour mcconkey scrubs as the only thing to keep me in control. At the end, well you saw it, I was pretty stoked.

thanks Alka, great mental pictures to go along with the shots.

[spook]

wow i can't believe you didn't make sure it was wide enough to actually ski through without some fucking boulder sitting in the middle half way down. i don't know how you do that but i wouldn't want my first view at 60mph. i guess msp is paying you to be just half a pussy. a labium, perhaps.

[Coño Frío]

Man, you must have been physically and mentally spent once you came down from that stoke. I hope you were able to enjoy a banana kush smoothie to relax and replenish.

Switch penguin slide?

[Atrain505]

I'm just going to go say it. That is flat out the most ridiculous line skiing or snowboarding ever caught on film. WOW! I'd like to think I am pretty numb to watching this stuff on film with all my involvement over the years but that got my heart seriously pumping during that!!!
And that 60mph speed scrub, that shit was some of the most tech skiing ever. ever. ever.

Dude that was ALL TIME!

[sb]

The nu stud of mountain poon.

Wow dude. That means a shit ton coming from a guy like you. Thanks for the kind words amigo.

[flatland_Dave]

Cody, you're a fucking maniac. Good thing you got a good belt to keep your pants up when you shit yourself going 60 out of a fucking couloir...

[~mikey b]

Wow. Just wow.

Stoked out the hole fam damly at the dinner table.

Thanks for that.

[hooked]

you're fucking crazy.

[That was Pontus]

Crazy how that thing actually went! Think I'm just gonna mellow it out keep popping pillows.

[TahoeJ]

When I saw that line at the end of DOMY I actually cheered out loud... which I think might be the first time I've ever done that (watching the DVD on my couch, not in a theater crowd). You must have been shaking with adrenaline after the run-out.
