A quick Google search will reveal that twelve year old Cody LaPlante has been labelled the “future of skiing” and “a fearless ripper”. We last reported on LaPlante in April after he became the overall champion at the USASA Nationals at Copper Mountain. Although some may try to write him off as just another park skier that can’t really ski, Cody also was competitive in skier-cross this season, where he is just as fearless and has podium potential. The odds are certain that he can ski better than most of us.
His latest season edit was edited by Cody’s brother. 14 year old Logan LaPlante. The video has quickly been making the rounds on the internet, including being featured by Freeskier. If you have ever taken the time to get to know Cody, you know how accurately the edit portrays his entire persona.
Cody LaPlante has his roots deeply planted at Alpine Meadows, having spent most of his growing years riding with the Alpine Freestyle team. Hopefully the snow gods will deliver at least a normal snow year, allowing Alpine Meadows to continue to produce some of the nations finest freestyle skiers. Great job Cody, for making the best of a less than spectacular season!
He and his brutha are almost as rad as I am – and it”ll be a great season opening, or my name’s Mud, not Ullr 🙂
