Watch Cody Townsend’s Fun Attempt at Spearhead Traverse FKT

In B.C., there lies a classic line that links Whistler and Blackcomb mountains via a 235-kilometre long traverse. The ski tour first done over the course of many days in the 1970s has now become a test-piece for ski mo racers seeking speed and records.

After a few months of the most ski touring in his life, Cody Townsend set off to test himself and attempt to capture the FKT (Fastest Known Time) for completing this traverse. Guest appearances by previous Spearhead Traverse FKT holder Greg Hill and superhuman mountain man Killian Jornet.

Episode 10 – The Spearhead Traverse – is live online! This year I’ve been ski touring and hiking an absolute ton. I can honestly say I’ve never been in this strong of shape in my life. So when I came to the 20+ mile Spearhead Traverse in Whistler/Blackcomb, I figured I may as well try to break some records, specifically the Fastest Known Time (FKT) for completing the traverse. I mean, how hard could it be… @the.fifty.project
