The drop-down outdoor table is such a fun little addition. Using a brand-name Petzl Micro-Trac for a 2 pound table is a hilarious little flex :P.

Yeah, definitely a flex, but if I ever forget to pack one for a glacier trip I know where to find one!

That roof needs Starlink for some serious Netflix and chill moments with Bjarne! 😂

I lost my shit when you showed the drying closet. Genius.

4:16 I love that he’s using a Petzl Microtrax with a stopper knot just for the style points when an eye hook would work. Totally my style 😂

Thanks for sharing, Cody. The drying closet is top, wood engraving adds soul to the van. Well thought. Enjoy winter 2021!

Great to see the van was built how you need it - even though it costs. A quality outcome.

Love that drying closet. Perfect for any mountianeer!

Awesome! Love the set up! We’ve been full time in a 40’ Class A for over a year now. Being able to take your home to any mountain you want is awesome. I’m already planning out this years ski season! Can’t wait. Congrats on the killer van!

Cody, you did an excellent job presenting your van, the Salomon crew is lucky to have you as part of the team. Easy to see the value you must be bringing the product and marketing teams.

The Micro-traxion table setup is just the cherry on top. A dream build for any skier!

I love that pull off overlooking Donner. I spent many a preseason sunrise right there with my coffee when I lived in Truckee...the lightning was always perfect. These videos are bringing up all the best vibes; thank you much, Cody! Edit: the van is killer too, lol!

Dream van! I like how there's still enough room for his giant moustache

Very well thought out and executed build. Love all the personal touches!

For your next bonus episode, it would be awesome to see behind the scenes of filming everything + what camera gear you guys use!

UNREAL!! I’m so impressed!

Been waiting for this one! Love the van! Extremely jealous...

Nice!!!! The creature comforts look good!

Quality van, built for purpose! Have a great season Cody.

Ha, so many of these ideas are what I've been slowly building into my 2005 Merc T1N 4x4 Sprinter over the last few years. I have a similar background to the guys at Alpine and also love skiing, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised there are similarities in the ideas (mine has just been built in an 'I am much poorer' way!😊). L-Track is great stuff, I have it everywhere and also designed everything to be removable, that way I can haul the dirt bike and sports bikes that I race when not skiing and use the same track for tie down points. Also brilliant for flexible tie downs of all sorts of random stuff when in 'just a general van' mode.

I AM SO FIRED UP YOU GOT A VAN!! this season of the fifty is going to be AMAZING!!

I just got a van, I live in Tahoe. I had to get one of those Diesel heaters! Those things are life-changing, I need to build a closet like yours though. I have some good boot/glove/helmet dryer system so far. A second ceiling fan would be sweet, I need to but out more windows in mine too. My girlfriend wants that flarespace for ours.

I bet Honnold _loves_ this Van. 👍 (Although his is pretty cool too, for his personal needs.)

For some reason this was surprisingly entertaining

Love that as soon as you open the door the shoutout to the builders goes out

this is the sickest van I've ever seen Cody!!!!

Beautiful! Thanks for letting us use your parking spot by the way, see you out there :)

So dope. Giving Bjarne a run for his money!

Paint job is sick!

Ha! Artwork by Leighan Falley maybe the best part of that awesome setup. Cool to see the alpine community is that small.

Such a Dream van! 💛

Epic! Great job. Now onto the truck stop showers!

Awesome setup

You guys absolutely killed this build. The layout is great and all of the skier touches make it perfect. How is the stability with the van being lifted and on off-road tires on the highway?

Amazing ! I'm currently building and arranging my own van... Can't say it looks as good as yours ahah

Super rad build

The wait was worth it - just creamed!

That’s a truck with the bed enclosed ;-). The best thing I think is the short wheel base, air compressor, 4WD, and heaters. NICE!!!

Do you even have power bruh? Cody - "Hold my Redbull..."

Nice detail

Amazing

This that ski movie money🤤

This looks great and I especially love that you mounted the cabinets on a rail system. But… it’s pretty much a standard European van conversion in terms of layout 🤷‍♂️

thought the truck was pretty cool, this looks even warmer! awesome. Can't wait to see the next 50 project vids

I have a winter van as well. I would love to see a follow up video after you have used the van for a few seasons. Any things you figured out, features you added, or removed? I am always looking for good ideas for our van and there is not much content for true ski/snowboard vans.

Amazing build. I am envious. Can you provide details on the products used to make the fold out guest bed?

Rad van!

Wow I need a van like this 👀👀

Doooood. Coup de grace != "cherry on top." Unless one craves nothing more than the sweet mercy of death.

What do you do for going to the toilet and having a proper wash like a shower? The longer wheel base sprinters you can fit bathrooms in, would of made more sense when there’s no services stations for miles when in mountainous areas.

Nice van

C’mon Cody, make us jealous

Thanx for sharing, very inspiring!! We have ordered a KABE van (will be delivered in October, planning to spend some time in the Alps). Some things I want to upgrade is the table top and kitchen counter (white laminat) and also mount a drop-down outdoor table. I really like yours, what kind of wood do you have? 🙏⛷😊Best Johan

I wish you the best of luck with the diesel Espars in winter. I would love to hear your thoughts on them come spring.

I want one!

Stach going STRONG these days Cody

Such a tight build for winter missions. The bonus seat/bed is perfect, who manufactures that unit?

Love the van. That drying closet is such a great feature! Concerning the drying closet, where is the humid air coming out of the closet from? Thanks!

For anyone wondering the quick difference in AWD vs 4WD. AWD: Always on, no choice whether all 4 wheels spin or not. 4WD: Selectable, you can engage all 4 wheels when you want rather than all the time.

That…and the fact that 4wd is synonymous with a locking differential/transfer case while AWD does not.

Nice! Any more info on the drain for the ski rack? Did they just install a tube going from the rack out a hole in the van floor?

love the music - nice touch to the usual EDM. The real question is what brand is that sick shirt?

Love that ski rack and that seat. How is the ski rack made?

This is sweet!! Any idea where the ski racks are from? We’ve been dying to find something similar for our van

Great van set-up and review, I am just wondering how you are freshing up after a day of skiing (maybe shower solution?) and how you take care of number two? (maybe too practical questions ;-) )
