In this episode we talk with Lynsey Dyer, an athlete, artist and advocate, co-founder of SheJumps.org, founder of Unicorn Picnic and an alliance athlete for Protect Our Winters (POW).

Lynsey tells us about her early childhood ski days in Sun Valley, Idaho with her family. Lynsey was on her local ski team from a young age and reflects on the many benefits and skills that she still draws on today. When the alpine ski racing path was no longer fun for her, Lynsey switched over to freeride. Lynsey has had a long and incredibly successful career as a big mountain skier.

Lynsey’s won every big mountain competition she’s entered, been awarded Female Skier of the Year by Powder and Freeskier Magazines multiple times, starred in films and commercials from Teton Gravity Research to Warren Miller.

As a filmmaker herself, Lynsey produced and directed the first all female ski film Pretty Faces after fundraising on Kickstarter. Pretty Faces went on to become iconic selling out shows, winning awards and making the industry more inclusive.

Next we learned more about SheJumps.org.

As a Protect Our Winters Alliance Athlete, Lynsey tells us about the organization and why she prioritizes protecting our environment.

We most loved hearing about how Lynsey’s adjusting to motherhood including how she’s changed her mindset and risk taking profile. And someday we hope to jump off a cliff with Lynsey, but the invitation hasn’t yet arrived :)
