The past couple weeks have been non-stop for Scott. He’s been driving, flying, skiing, hauling generators into spots, slecknecking, and of course shooting lots of photos! Here’s a little update on what Scott has been up to lately…
Salomon shoot in France Scott arrived in France last Friday. Blue skies and great snow have made for great shooting conditions at Serre Chevalier. Scott will remain at Serre Chevalier for the rest of the week with the Salomon team.
Urban Under Armour Shoot The lack of snow in urban areas of Utah and serious time crunches couldn’t stop Scott and Under Armour skier Ahmet Dadali from shooting some late night/early morning urban hammers last week.
Canyons Resort Team Shoot- Shot some banger photos in the park with Ben Millsaps, Casey Nelson, Jason Hindman, Alice Gong, Jonothan Cheever, Thomas Flocco, and Tim Russell.
Park City Under Armour Pipe Shoot Scott spent a couple days shooting some of Under Armour’s team in PC’s massive super pipe. Expect to see some cool photos from both day and night!
Boondockers Snowmobiling Scott tried his luck snowmobiling in the Utah backcountry. Boondockers Dan Gardner, Geoffrey Dyer, and Rick Barker ripped around on their sleds for some photos.
Colorado Under Armour Park Shoot Scott traveled to CO for a few days to shoot X-Games Medalists and Under Armour Team Riders Jen Hudak and Bobby Brown. Gotta love sunny park days at Breck!

On February 4-7, a group of aspiring photographers participated in the Scott Markewitz photography workshop at Snowbird. During the workshop, participants were able to gain experience and learn from Scott both on the hill and in the classroom.
The participants had the opportunity of shooting pro/am shreds such as Jenn Berg, Forrest Shearer, Ben Wheeler, Rick Wroblewski, Carlo Travarelli, and Caroline Gleich. They spent their days on the hill shooting these athletes and practicing many aspects of ski photography. In the afternoons and evenings Scott helped them to fine tune their photo editing and processing skills.
“It would have taken me several lifetimes to figure these things out on my own”, said one participant.

This week on Salomon Freeski TV, Mike Douglas takes a look at the history of freeskiing. This episode has great pictures and video of some old school original freeskiing. For those that think freeskiing wouldn’t be here without snowboarding… think again.
The NY Times just posted a cool feature called “Winter Wonders - Olympic Stars of Yesteryear”. This feature spotlights Olympic stars of the past with audio interviews and photos. Definitely worth checking out!
Just got some unfortunate news that ski legend Jeremy Nobis took a pretty nasty crash last Friday. Jeremy fractured his tibial plateau so he’ll be off the hill for awhile. Best wishes for a fast recovery for Jeremy!
If you don’t know who Jeremy Nobis is, you should! Check out this video of Jeremy killing it!
Last week’s dump in Utah has made it hard to think about anything but shredding pow. For some people this pow means it’s time to lap the local resort and get as much pow as possible; others are embarking on touring adventures, finding pillow lines, hucking cliffs, or building jumps. No matter what your interests are, this photo is something everyone can enjoy.
In this photo, Mark Abma grabs some nose while boosting into the sunset. This was shot during a trip last year to B.C., Canada.
