Celebrating the halfway mark of the project (in number only), this special episode goes into showing how the research, ski community, and planning come together to make each line successful.

Joined by Tucker Patton, guide/owner of Triple Point Expeditions and photographer Ming Poon, the crew makes a blitz to Idaho and tackles an iconic couloir in the Sawtooth Mountains.
