She attended Middlebury College as a geology major, and began racing trails as a master's student at 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]
