Scot Schmidt is best known as an extreme-skiing pioneer whose effortless-looking feats have been captured in dozens of films by Warren Miller and others. With Swiss manufacturer Stöckli, Schmidt has developed a namesake ski to meet his own needs, the Stöckli Stormrider Scot Schmidt Pro. It’s intended for freestylers and is available at ski shops throughout North America. "It’s what I ski on all the time," says Schmidt, who has a say on every component, including the graphics. "Stöckli is unique because it’s one of the oldest ski companies in the world—it’s been around since 1936—and its quality and craftsmanship are unsurpassed."
