14. Challenge Fear & Find Flow with World-Class Skier Lynsey Dyer

"As a woman, everything can be discounted. What can’t be discounted is what you do. It can’t be taken away from you. It’s indisputable." — Lynsey Dyer

What does it take to ski off a 65 ft. cliff in the back country of Jackson Hole? Lynsey Dyer, one of the best big mountain skiers in the world, explains the motivation and mindset needed to accomplish so many feats in the male-dominated industry of extreme sports.

At 16, she won the Junior Olympics in Downhill Skiing, and soon after leaned into a life of back country freestyle skiing where rules were meant to be broken. She’s charged down fresh powder winning titles at the Freeride World Tour and was named Skier-of-The-Year multiple times.

For those unfamiliar with the ski world, Lynsey's other accomplishments range from running a business, leading heli-skiing trips around the world, and directing/producing the first and only all-female ski movie called Pretty Face. The film empowers women and girls alike through the love of sport and community.
