SMP x Winter X Games 2012
I just returned from another incredible Winter X Games in Aspen, CO. Every year these athletes showcase the most incredible feats in action sports, pushing themselves to higher and higher levels and performing tricks that seemed impossible only a few years ago. From Bobby Brown‘s and Tom Wallish‘s flawless runs in Big Air and Slopestyle to the incredibly stacked field in the Superpipe, the level of competition was really inspiring. Tucker Perkins said it well in his quote to National Geographic Adventure,” [Sarah Burke] would have wanted us to ski our hearts out at this event. We all did it for her.” In the spirit of Sarah, everyone did ski their hearts and put on an incredible show.
I don’t usually alter my images much, but I thought it would be fun to play around and experiment with some of my X Games shots, and here’s what I came up with. I would love to see your comments.

SMP x Shoot like a Pro
I’m excited to announce my Third Annual Scott Markewitz Photo Workshop that’s taking place this coming February 9 – 12 at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort.
Attendees of my Workshop will “learn about all aspects of ski and winter outdoor photography with morning and evening classroom sessions and on-hill practice photographing professional skiers and snowboarders in action.”
I’m really stoked to get at this again, it gets better and better every year. And with all the recent snowfall we’ve been having, this should make for some amazing turns and great accessibility of the mountain. This will be an exciting and rewarding experience for everyone, and will challenge students creatively, technically and physically. Snowbird is the perfect venue for this workshop. I’m really looking forward to showing participants the incredible snow, terrain, scenery and photographic opportunities that the resort has to offer.
Spec’s on the Scott Markewitz Photography Workshop:
– Four days of instruction both on the mountain and in the classroom as well as three nights at the Cliff Lodge
– Lift tickets, early Trams and breakfast.
– Workshop costs $1,250 (double occupancy, plus taxes and fees), and interested parties can register by calling Snowbird Central Reservations at (800) 453-3000.
– For locals who don’t require lodging and/or lift tickets, please feel free to contact me directly at scott@scottmarkewitz.com.
“All participants should have a basic understanding of digital photography and be able to ski or snowboard most areas on the mountain comfortably while carrying their own camera gear. Students are required to bring their own DSLR camera with assorted lenses, a backpack to carry their equipment while riding, a laptop with Photoshop installed (CS2 or higher – also recommended to have other image processing software such as Lightroom, Aperture and/or Photo Mechanic), a memory card reader, at least one external hard drive for storage, and must be ready with the proper ski/snowboard equipment for any conditions.”
Can’t wait to see you all up there!

SMP x Powder Magazine celebrates 40 Years
Powder Mag celebrates 40 Years
Any excuse I get to visit Sun Valley, Idaho.. I’ll take it.
Just a few weekends ago my son (Julien) and I headed up to scenic Sun Valley, ID to attend Powder Magazine’s 40th Anniversary event. In short, it was unreal and there was a lot that went on – Most things of memorable mention and other things of the slightly-scandalous but exciting nature, as intended–
SV’s blog does a great job wrapping up the event.
Powder Prom
There isn’t a question of doubt that we did our due diligence while we were there: taking lines on the slopes (yes, they actually have snow), enjoying some fine dining, mixing it up with new and old friends, and even keeping it classy at the Powder Prom.
It’s been awesome to work with the guys over at Powder Magazine. To be a supporting role of photography in lieu to their mission of bringing “Powder to the People” has been an exciting experience throughout the years. Having some of my work showcased at their once-in-a-lifetime ski culture exhibits – showcasing 80 of the most iconic Powder Magazine covers – was to say the very least, pretty cool.
Good times in Sun Valley, ID..
Until next time . .
