“I shit my pants in a helicopter once. Just like trying to press a fart out way too hard and maybe had a little something bad to eat the night before. We were forced to land the helicopter because the pilot got so pissed off.”

– Cody Townsend

Cody will appear on a new episode of The SnowBrains Podcast later this season, but until then, enjoy his great insights and hilarious stories from this episode, which first aired on 01/13/21.

This week, we bring you Cody Townsend, a California beach kid from Santa Cruz who was the high school quarterback dating the head cheerleader while simultaneously winning the Junior Olympics Downhill ski race at 16 years old and ended up becoming a legendary freeskier out of Lake Tahoe, California. He’s done Hollywood stunts for Vin Diesel, he skied “The Most Insane Line Ever” in Alaska, he’s in approximately 1 zillion amazing ski movies, and he now is the star and producer of The Fifty Project, where he’s attempting to climb & ski the 50 Classic Ski Descents of North America.

“We almost got killed by Vladimir Putin, like truly…we got ran off the road while we were driving down this like two-lane highway, all of a sudden a cavalcade of like limos and army cars come racing around the corner in the middle of the road going like 70 miles per hour. We had to slam off into this cliff wall. On the other side was like 400 feet of cliffs. Nearly got ran off the road and killed by Vladimir Putin himself.”
