Ski Pro Cody Barnhill has Another Serious Passion

Today we meet up with Professional Skier Cody Barnhill to get the scoop on his career, skiing, and his own personal style.

My name is Cody Barnhill and I’m from Anchorage, Alaska, but I’ve lived in Ketchum, Idaho for the past five and a half years. Before that I lived in Salt Lake City where I got a pretty quick jump-start into my ski career shooting with all of the world-class local photographers and filmers. After living there for almost a decade, and eventually working for a local ski brand managing their ski design and development, I had to get out of the city, so I chased my heart into the mountains and moved to Ketchum.

Since moving here I have managed to ski way more powder days than most of my neighbors even know exist, and I’ve focused my thought and energy a bit into learning about alternative building methods and energy systems. It seems pretty obvious that the way that we are thinking about our homes and the way we heat and power them is not acceptable, and I am drawn to being a part of the future that solves all the problems that the self-absorbed morons we call politicians keep making worse.

As if creating the ever-divisive sneaker-loafer hybrid shoe wasn’t enough, New Balance can also tout having the chicest walking shoe of the season. Part of the brand’s “Made in UK” series, New Balance is bringing a new iteration of the Allerdale sneaker just in time for the fall season.
