Caroline Gleich is a professional ski mountaineer, adventurer, trail runner, and activist. And one badass woman. Based in Salt Lake City, she recently became the first woman and fourth person to ski all 90 lines featured in The Chuting Gallery, a steep skiing guidebook to the Wasatch Range by Andrew McLean. A nature lover since birth, Caroline has used her voice as an athlete and ambassador for brands like KEEN, Clif Bar and Patagonia to speak up about social and environmental issues like climate change, clean air, and cyber harassment. She’s graced the covers of magazines like Powder and Backcountry, appeared in multiple Warren Miller Films, and I even recently wrote about her in Outside magazine.
Caroline talks with me about the challenges, and gives advice, on being a woman in a burly man’s sport, as well as training tips for climbing mountains and getting ready for an ultramarathon, how she handles fear and how she’s advocating for change in the way we protect our playgrounds.
