Supporting Youth. Showing Up for Others.
Creating opportunities for young athletes to experience skiing and snowboarding while pursuing their individual passions and reaching their goals.
An exceptional athlete. An even more remarkable human.
Cody Clemente's passion for snowboarding was matched only by the way he showed up for others.
He was welcoming, deeply authentic, and had a gift for making people feel seen, supported, and like they truly belonged. His friendships extended far beyond any one group, and he had a natural ability to bring people together through genuine connection.
Cody lived with infectious energy, quiet confidence, and a heart that always made room for others. Whether on the mountain or in everyday life, he showed up when it mattered most, encouraging those around him to pursue their passions while reminding them that kindness and connection are what leave the greatest impact.

The Love Like Cody RIPPLE
The Ripple is Love Like Cody in action, carried forward one small act at a time.
Inviting someone to take their first run down the mountain. Introducing a friend to something you love. Welcoming the new kid into your group. Starting a conversation with someone who's standing alone. Celebrating someone else's win like it's your own. Showing up, even in small ways, when it matters most.
Cody moved through the world with authenticity, generosity, and a gift for making people feel like they belonged. He didn't wait for the right moment to be kind. He just was — again and again, without needing a reason.
That's the Ripple: one person's way of showing up, passed on and multiplied, far beyond what any of us can see.
What starts with one person can create a ripple that reaches far beyond what we can see.
