Dayna Stimson — Big Mountain Skiing, Ultrarunning & Family Medicine
Meet Dayna Stimson — big mountain skier, ultrarunner, and family nurse practitioner. Her journey in the mountains began with childhood tears on skinny skis and has grown into a life defined by endurance, adventure, and a commitment to service. Balancing her healthcare career with big mountain skiing, solo FKTs, and a passion for empowering others, Dayna has found structure and purpose in her training under coach EmKay Sullivan, helping her pursue bold goals while staying balanced.
In this conversation, Dayna reflects on burning out from competitive nordic skiing, rediscovering the joy of movement, managing risk and resilience in the backcountry, and the mindset needed for long efforts. We met in Bishop, California, on the canal, a favorite running route for locals waiting for snowmelt. With the Eastern Sierra as a backdrop, she shares her transition from nordic skiing to big mountain lines, her approach to risk in snowy terrain, her FKT on the Evolution Loop, balancing healthcare with outdoor pursuits, evolving relationship with food, and advice for inspiring more women to embrace movement in the mountains.
