Professional skier Cody Townsend descends 2,000 feet through a vertical chute in Alaska’s Tordrillo mountain range.
“It wasn’t actually until I dropped in and then started going and realizing how fast I was going, how narrow it was and how steep it was truly,” says 31-year old Cody Townsend. “It kind of all came together like, ‘Oh man, this is terrifying.’” At the narrowest point the rock walls were only six feet apart. From “Days Of My Youth”, a new film that examines every skier’s lifelong affinity for the sport.
