55: SheJumps with Claire Smallwood
Born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Claire took her passion for skiing to the next level when she co-founded SheJumps alongside the professional freeskier, Lynsey Dyer and journalist, Vanessa Pierce in 2007.
Since then, SheJumps has created over 46,000 opportunities for women and girls to get outside by offering a variety of outdoor activities ranging from wilderness survival and mountaineering to technical maintenance and skill-building clinics.
We talk about what is was like to start SheJumps at the age of 22 and how its mission has grown over the last 16 years to include people who may not have the easiest access to wild landscapes.
We also talk about the challenges young women and girls face in participating in the outdoors compared to men and the small but meaningful changes that need to happen to address that.

Great
Not a fan of running podcasts, but I liked this episode with David Laney because it wasn’t about all the technical mumbo jumbo around the sport. Was more about him as a person. Worth the listen.
Episode #7
I loved learning more about this man and his extreme sports.
