The Delicate Dance Between Risk, Reward, and Death | Skiing Legend, Cody Townsend

The Delicate Dance Between Risk, Reward, and Death | Skiing Legend, Cody Townsend

This week’s conversation is with a legend, Cody Townsend, one of the most awarded skiers in freeskiing history.

Cody has evolved from a California beach kid obsessed with the mountains … to now stand atop the pinnacle of the sport.

From a successful alpine ski racing career to stunt doubling for Hollywood films, or skiing the “Most Insane Line Ever”, Cody skis some of the most challenging and dangerous lines on the planet - all with an affable nature and a smile on his face.

Cody’s latest project, called “The FIFTY,” is in his words, “simple” - it’s a goal he set to try to climb AND ski all fifty of the lines and mountains chronicled in the classic book, “The Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America.”

From Alaska to Colorado, California to Baffin Island, these lines are among the most difficult in the world and all of them have at least one historical descent.

But no one has skied them all.

Cody’s goal is to change that. And in my opinion, there’s no one more suited to do so.

He’s about halfway through this project, and you can follow his progress on his YouTube channel… he uses skiing as his medium for insight, mastery and expression
