Dayna Stimson — Big Mountain Skiing, Ultrarunning & Family Medicine

On this episode of Get Stoked Girls, we sit down with big mountain skier, ultrarunner, and family nurse practitioner Dayna Stimson.

We met Dayna in Bishop, California, on the canal — a favorite running spot for local athletes as they wait for the snow to melt off the mountains. With the Eastern Sierra as our backdrop, we talked about her transition from nordic skiing to big mountain lines, how she evaluates risk in snowy terrain, and her advice to make backcountry skiing more accessible. Coached by EmKay Sullivan, Dayna brings a thoughtful and disciplined approach to her training that supports both big objectives and her demanding career in healthcare. She shared the story behind her Evolution Loop FKT, how she balances full-time clinical work with outdoor adventures, her evolving relationship with food post-college athletics, and her tips for inspiring more women to embrace movement in the mountains.
