Scotty McGee

Scotty McGee is one of the most accomplished telemarkers in the country. He manages Training, Nordic and Guides at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, and is now the coach of the PSIA Nordic Team for the 2008-2012 term. You'll find him tearing up Jackson Hole on his HammerHeads all winter and cruising the spring backcountry corn on his skate skis in the spring. In the summer, he guides for Exum Mountain Guides, teaching climbing and leading ascents of the Grand Teton and other Teton peaks and routes.

Where are you from, when did you begin skiing and telemarking, and where do you ski most now?

I was born in Silver Spring, MD, but spent most of my first 16 years in Nashville, TN. I began skiing at age 6 in Taos – road-trippin’ across I-70 in the ’67 Volvo station wagon. At 16, my family moved to Salt Lake City and after debating whether to XC or alpine ski with my best friend, we met in the middle and I started telemarking at age 18 at Snowbird. I ski mostly in the Tetons now.

What are your favorite boots and skis?

Crispi’s and the Rossi Sickbirds.

What do you like about HammerHeads?

Positive feel. No prerelease. Easy adjust. Highly durable.
Best of all, the binding holds the ball of the boot down to the ski, making learning easy for beginners and allowing advanced skiers to apply tip pressure.

What do you like to do for fun when you’re not skiing?

Climb, blade, unicycle, bake, read and write.
