The Spearhead Traverse is a classic line that links Whistler and Blackcomb mountains via a 20+ mile long traverse. The ski tour was first done over the course of many days in the 1970's and 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 set off to test himself and attempt to capture the FKT (Fastest Known Time).
