Skiing the 50 Classic Descents in North America with Cody Townsend
Cody Townsend is one of America's most well-known and beloved professional skiers. In his 20s, Cody made a name for himself as a competitive alpine ski racer before starring in dozens of blockbuster ski movies. His fame skyrocketed in 2014 when he skied The Crack, a steep and narrow gully in Alaska. Following this feat, Cody embarked on an ambitious journey to ski the 50 classic lines in North America— a project that isn't quite finished and maybe never will be.

She called this project "The 52 Hike Challenge." 10 years later, she's turned it into a national company that encourages thousands of participants to get outside.Connect with Karla: Instagram 52 Hike Challenge website & Instagram Listen to Karla's new podcast, Rise & Wander Thank you to our sponsor: Capital One: Check out the REI Co-op Mastercard program and learn about local REI Fund grantees
