Alyssa Wendt — Ski Mountaineering, Risk Assessment & Community

In this episode of Get Stoked Girls, we sit down with Alyssa Wendt— multi-sport mountain athlete, health and wellness coach, loyal mountain partner, and lover of all things outdoors.

We caught up with Alyssa in Crested Butte, Colorado, where she shares her journey from growing up playing traditional team sports to discovering her passion for technical mountain disciplines. She talks about navigating barriers as a woman in the outdoors, balancing risk and adventure, and the importance of strong, trustworthy partners in high-stakes terrain.

Alyssa also reflects on stepping away from Olympic aspirations in ski mountaineering to pursue joy-driven adventure, how health coaching has influenced her life as an athlete and person, and the value of community in Crested Butte. She offers practical advice for women looking to explore the mountains, find mentors, and embrace a multifaceted identity beyond competition.
