By Danny O’Neil — The coronavirus pandemic has interrupted the daily lives of everyone on the planet. For professional skiers, the premature end of ski season resulted in canceled film projects, expeditions put on hold, and a sudden decrease of work.
To find out how the athletes leading our sport are coping with the pandemic and hear what they are doing to stay healthy and sane, we’re catching up with a few of them in a five-part interview series rolling out this week.
A live call from social isolation for Fifty fans with Cody and Bjarne.
In this 3rd episode of the Salomon Apres-Hour Podcast, Salomon freeski team member Cody Townsend chats about his rise from a young weekend skier to an up-and-coming racer to international freeski athlete.
He also gives an update on The Fifty Project, his effort to climb and ski the 50 classic ski lines in North America and shares some of his favorite places to ski and the people he likes going with.
