New catski video - Scot Schmidt

If you have been skiing in the last 30 years you have probably heard of Scot Schmidt. Scot is considered by many to be the original freeskier. He was the first pro skier to make a living at big mountain, or "extreme" skiing. He was also a shareholder at Island Lake Catskiing, along with Craig Kelly, Mark Gallup, Jason Ford and Jake Blattner. It was at Island Lake that Craig and Scot tried to bring ski and snowboard culture together in the movies Siberia and P-tex, Lies and Duct Tape. Scot has catskied at Island Lake more then anyone except a few of the long-term guides, probably 350-400 days over the last 20 years.  Thats a lot of catskiing! Here is the latest webisode from Island Lake Catskiing.

Located in Fernie BC, Island Lake is celebrating 25 years of catskiing this season.
