Kristen Ulmer has no fear - it’s not in her vocabulary.
In the 90s she was the first female big mountain rider to make waves in the ski community.
Watch this old TGR clip of her stomping a superman off an Alaskan face on straight skis to understand.
She became well known for her ability to send massive cliffs without hesitation and her expertise in mountaineering.
While she no longer sends 60-foot cliffs, she has found her niche in teaching others about fear.
Wendy Fisher was another one of the early women in the big-mountain scene.
She could send smooth lines in steep terrain anywhere in the world.
And on straight skis too - pretty damn impressive.

Wendy is originally from Squaw Valley.
She later attended the Burke Academy in Vermont and made the US Ski Team her sophomore year.
However, the many years of racing led her to burn-out from the sport altogether.
Wendy began to compete in and win extreme skiing contests all around the globe.
Wendy became a huge influence on the up-and-comer skier Ingrid Backstrom as well as many other young skiers.
Currently, she still rips over in Crested Butte.

Ingrid Backstrom is a living legend.
Ingrids skiing caught the attention of Gaffney, who then asked her to film for Matchstick Productions in 2004.
Her breakthrough performance was in MSPs film Yearbook where she absolutely charged jaw-dropping lines on British Colombias steepest faces.
Charged is an understatement.
Thanks to her starring roles, countless young female skiers have been exposed to and influenced by Ingrids skiing.
She helped show that it was possible for a woman to create a career in freeriding.
She floats through pillows, charges down steep spines and drops massive cliffs without hesitation.

Lynsey Dyer is a child of the mountains, hailing from Sun Valley, Idaho.
She grew up as a successful ski racer and received a scholarship to attend Montana State University.
Lynsey skis with a confidence seldom seen, resulting in smooth lines though steep faces and narrow chutes.
It also gives her the necessary mindset for landing huge airs off cliffs.
In 2011, she received Powder Award’s Skier of the Year award.
Lynsey has become an all-time role model pushing other ladies to get outside and ski hard.
