To many, many skiers Scot Schmidt is the man who created
“extreme skiing“. This
great interview between Schmidt and the Denver
Post takes readers inside the life of a man who “modernized a leaping, knees-to-your-chest schmear turn that was
emulated by millions in his wake” and has starred in nearly 40 movies, including a bunch of Warren Miller flicks. His
exploits have made him quite a legend and, with the corresponding riches which have followed, Schmidt has gone off to
do things like co-found Go with a Pro, a company which pairs top tier athletes
with those who can afford their rates.
