Biography
Schide was born and raised in Gardiner, Maine. She grew up hiking and playing field hockey,[1] and later worked at mountain huts in the White Mountains.[2]
She attended Middlebury College as a geology major, and began racing trails as a master's student at the University of Utah.[2] Her geology work eventually led to a doctorate from ETH Zurich.[3] She currently resides in the small alpine village of Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage in France. In addition to ultramarathons, Schide races skimo.[4]
