Another catski Webisode from Island Lake - Scot Schmidt

Here is one for all the old-school skiers out there and you younguns should have a look and learn some history. Scot Schmidt is considered to be the Original Freeskier. He was the first pro 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.  Over 50 trips and 350-400 days!  Wow - thats alot of catski time.
