Scot Schmidt Tribute Video 2013

One of the most recognized and filmed skiers in the world, Montana native Scot Schmidt pioneered a style and remarkable ability that inspired generations of adrenaline-sport athletes. Labeled by Powder Magazine as “the original freeskier,” Schmidt’s impact in the 1980s literally set the stage for dramatic changes in the sport, playing a pivotal role in shaping the ski industry today. His skiing has been showcased in over 40 films and pioneered industry product testing in his over 30-year partnership with The North Face.

He is historically one of greats and my motivators still to this day…

Warped an entire generation of skiers - first Warren Miller movie I saw was "Ski Time" and that was it, my mind snapped like a rubber band and I've been a ski bum ever since...

[@mtadams2009]

Scot to me was a level up from everyone else. What many people may not realize is how the change in ski design changed skiing, it made it much easier. Skiing in Powder is much different than skiing on powder. He was my idol.

He has one of the best forms, but you gotta admit that Seth has really good form, too. It's been a while since I've been very impressed by the young bucks. Sage is good.
