For Richmond, the Wood River Valley is his own personal playground and to hear him tell it he’d rather not have it any other way. “A lot of the kids talk about getting out of here and moving on to someplace bigger but I love it here. It’s just an awesome place to live.” Having been born at the old Hailey medical clinic, Richmond has spent his whole life here, as has his dad. “I’m real outdoorsy and try to do it all. I love to hunt, fish, golf, bike, hike and backpack. The only complaint I can come up with is when there isn’t a lot of snow. I really like the small numbers here and the ability to be alone in the wilderness. When you do run into people, like on the trails, they’re usually pretty nice.” Of all the seasons, winter is king for Richmond because he is able to partake in his real life’s passion—snowmobiling. “Seven years ago my dad bought a used sled and we rode it super hard that year. The next year we upgraded and started riding with all his friends. You learn in a pretty simple way – ‘here’s the sled and here’s how you drive it.’ It’s all pretty much trial and error and my dad’s friends are all forty-year-olds who are really good and you have to keep up with them.” Typi- cally, Richmond spends as much time as possible riding – on the weekends, vacations and during any time off. “You pretty much always find me on a sled,” he said. “Last winter we explored Jackson Hole when we went to see a hill-climb competition. Pretty much they go up an incredibly steep hill and see who can go the fastest to the top. It’s totally crazy! One hundred guys motor up a straight wall, tearing up the hill, and half the guys total their sleds. We also rode the Jackson Hole area and it was pretty awesome.” On a typical day Richmond will travel between 40 and 70 miles in the back- country. “Every day is totally different,” he said. His favorite place to ride? “There’s nowhere better than the Sawtooths and the Boulders. They are so vast and incredibly beautiful. The deeper you work in, the more you see. There are beautiful towers and streams everywhere. I still haven’t come close to seeing all of it.” What was his most memora- ble day? “It was the day I triggered an avalanche and then later crashed and ended up jumping the sled. Thankfully nothing serious happened to me other than a sore back.” And why is he so passion- ate about sledding? “It’s the overall freedom that comes from it. It’s something that you really can’t explain. You can come to an area and there are no restrictions. You can go as fast as you want, al- though going slow through deep snow is also great, and you can go up any hill that you want. It’s just incredible.” Each week, Jonathan Kane will be profiling a local high-school student. If you know someone you’d like to see featured, e-mail leslie@ theweeklysun.com tws

Richmond’s Outdoor LifeBY JONATHAN KANE
Cody Richmond, a Wood River High School se-nior carrying a 3.6 grade point average and a member of National Honor Society, just can’t
get enough of the outdoors life.

BRIEFS
Prescription Drug Abuse CampaignOne in five Idaho teens admits to
taking a prescription drug without a doctor’s prescription at least once in their life. Because they are prescribed by a physician, these drugs are per-ceived as being safe, but in the wrong hands they can be lethal. The Idaho Office of Drug Policy in coordination with the Idaho Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Workgroup (ODP) has launched a statewide multi-media campaign to educate Idahoans on the dangers of prescription drug abuse.
“We are excited about bringing the National Family Partnership’s Lock Your Meds campaign to Blaine Coun-ty,” said Michael David, executive di-rector of the Blaine County Communi-ty Drug Coalition. “Prescription drug abuse is a growing problem in our state, our cities, our neighborhoods, and our schools. Due to easy availabil-ity we are witnessing a large increase in misuse, abuse and overdoses,” Da-vid added.
The statewide campaign will launch during Rec Ribbon Week, Oct. 23-31.
“In Blaine County we have disposal locations in the sheriff’s office in Hai-ley, and at the Ketchum Police Depart-ment in Ketchum. In conjunction with the campaign, the Drug Coalition will purchase an additional drug collection unit to be located in the Hailey police station.” According to David, “Please discard any unused or expired pre-scription or over-the-counter drugs (no liquids) to these locations Monday through Friday (or Thursday for the sheriff’s office location) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
