Cody Townsend Brings Us Something Different in “Conquering the Useless” “This year was a bit different. Some of the hardest decisions of my skiing life were made this year. I set out on a different path, into uncharted territory. Seeking new horizons, new approaches and new mountains, it provided me with some of the biggest challenges I’ve dealt with and because of that, some of the greatest experiences.
