“Oh hello there. Good to see ya”. A warm hello from our Californian Town-sender whose freeskiing style is so fluid you could actually pour it in a cup and sip it. A natural fun chaser, with high goals and outstanding skills, Cody has a global vision for his sports and a local heart for his spots – specifically the West Coast of North America.
Cody’s natural habitat is “outside” and a good powder day cannot be missed. It feels effortless when you watch his tricks and tracks, even when he airs over heart-stopping and stomach-dropping cliffs. “Sorry for skiing that scary ass line Mom, but I’m all good”. The ice it’s his ground-breaking place but his charisma granted him major opportunities that go way beyond his favourite track.
The Mountain Why - the thousand mile journey
The Mountain Why - the thousand mile journey
As the world entered a different phase of existence in early 2020, and events, trips and plans were cancelled or postponed, @codytownsend and @myshellparker took it upon themselves to dream up a monumental physical and mental challenge - all to discover how adversity and the mountains could help make sense of a tumultuous year. The end result was an endurance test unlike any other: A month-long 1'000-mile backpacking and ski mountaineering journey from the Tahoe region to northern Washington with 100 pounds of camping and skiing gear strapped to their bikes. Watch the full video, as you cannot imagine what happens!
