What hasn’t Lynsey Dyer done? The 27-year-old has won every big-mountain competition she’s ever entered including the overall Extreme skiing tour in 2005. She’s appeared in Warren Miller and Teton Gravity Research films, and this winter, she was awarded Female Skier of the Year by Powder Magazine. She’s hosted a handful of television shows for NBC and ESPN, and even appeared on Good Morning America. In 2006 She co-founded the non-profit She Jumps, which seeks to get girls into outdoor sports and offers avalanche safety and learn-to-ski clinics. Lynsey grew up ski racing in Sun Valley, Idaho, and went on to win a downhill gold in the Junior Olympics. She majored in graphic design while ski racing at Montana State University and has designed a signature line of clothing and ski graphics for Rossignol and Eddie Bauer. Living in Jackson, Wyoming, Lynsey is always seeking balance between her art and design, training as an athlete and non-profit work. “I can’t imagine it any other way,” She says of making a life out of the things she loves, “You can’t tell little girls to go follow their passions without putting yourself out there too right? I’m doing my best to walk the walk myself.”

Jack Madro, Team Logistics / Technical Support

BEd
Motor Captain / Safety Diver
Edmonton, AB, CAN

Jack caught the aquatic and scientific bug at an early age. If he was not at a lake, river, or ocean investigating aquatic life, he was tinkering or modifying equipment to try to make it work better. He formed a number of businesses that involved commercial and recreational diving, whale watching, and marketing. In the past 35 years, he and his team have been responsible for training over 7000 scuba divers in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. Jack’s consulting and business interests have taken him throughout the world. In the diving industry, he has become recognized as the “go to guy” for resort and business operations. Problem solving, leadership and teamwork, are his forte. “If it is broken, we will try to fix it, if it is garbage, we will recycle it, or take it out.” Jack sees challenges as the “Spice of life.”
