I’ve only entered the best, the original and the most classic pond crossing of all time, the Cushing Classic at @palisadestahoe, three times. And ahem, to brag for a second, I’ve won this international championships of global pond skimming 3 times. So 3 for 3. So all the skiers at @palisadestahoe who claim to be the best skier on the mountain…they know deep down inside how incorrect they are every time they say it.

Anyways, last time I entered was in 2017 with this Butter 3 and I haven’t thought of an idea to top it yet. Saturday, May 4th it’s on again. I unfortunately will be on a glacier, but maybe it’ll give me some time to dream how to go 4 for 4 one day…🤔 by @codytownsend

It has been seven years since this line hit the airwaves, went a bit viral and defined my ski career ever since. Good to go back into the footage archives and remind myself, “Hey, I used to be pretty good at skiing. What happened!?!”

ANNOUNCING: @the.fifty.project! Today is a huge day for me. Episode 1 of 50 planned episodes is live. You see, over the next three years I'll be producing a nearly live web series chronicling my attempt at skiing all 50 lines chronicled in the book "The Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America" by @steepskiing, @pennnewhard & @artfuladventureburrows. All of the lines in the book have been skied at least once, but all the lines have not been skied by one person. I've cast nearly everything else I've normally done as a professional skier in this pursuit to at least try. It's something that has plagued my mind for the last few years and today, I'm officially starting this journey. Watch Episode 1 on my YouTube channel (link in bio), please subscribe so you don't miss a single one and follow along here or at @the.fifty.project to see how this thing, a thing that will probably be the single most challenging thing I've ever done in my life, will unfold. by @codytownsend

THE ORIGIN STORY of @arcadebelts. It’s been 15 years since we started hand sewing elastic webbing to buckles in an attempt to make belts more comfortable for the sports we love. I think we’ve achieved that first dream, alongside now making them from 98% recycled materials while being more durable than Nokia 3310. They’re the ultimate belts for turning all your pants into sweatpants. taken in Lake Tahoe, California by @codytownsend

ATTN: Buisness owners, you can get paper zipties, that don't spend years in a landfill after just one use, through @anewearthproject.

🚲: @ibiscycles not only a customer of ANEP, they made this bike in the USA. Right down the road from where I grew up.

So that's pretty neat! by @codytownsend

BACKCOUNTRY SEMESTER OPENS MONDAY!

This year we have 2 very special guests!
@codytownsend & @myshellparker will be adding their experience to this and sharing what the mountains have taught them.

I have usually felt unprepared when the snow flies. The mindset shift that allows me to tune into the dynamic world of snow takes more than weekend - it takes a semester.

Join me, Michelle and Cody - alongside our whole team of Big Mountain Snow Safety Instructors as we share our collective knowledge of snow science, decision making and technical skills so that we can all start winter feeling sharp and tuned in.

Over 11 weeks we will deliver a comprehensive backcountry education for intermediate to advanced backcountry riders. We will
- Teach the most relevant snow science
- Share our decision making framework
- Equip you with the technical skills to grow as a backcountry rider.

EARLY BIRD registration opens Monday.
TOMORROW we launch our full ride scholarship, stay tuned!

Join our all-star BMSS instructors:
