The line from Schmidt’s head points to some solid how-to about fear control:
3. The Importance of Om
Basics only go so far in the backcountry. “Skiing radical stuff is a state of mind,” says Schmidt. “Fear is a negative emotion. It tightens up your muscles, restricts your breathing, and impedes your decision-making. In crucial situations, it can even paralyze you.”Learning how to relax, then, is fundamental to handling stressful situations. While meditative exercises… develop discipline and teach you to control your breathing and calm your mind, simply logging miles in the backcountry Will often take you to the same place. “Leave the chairlift behind and start climbing. Pay your dues,” says Schmidt…

Got something to say? Please do so.
i don’t think i’m allowed to win, so my guess stays secret, though looks easy to me, we’ll see…
Notice the skis, K2 re-released that graphic (or one very similar) on this years NEW K2 Extremes! awesome.
Scott Schmidt and I beleive it was from a K2 ad probably shot at Squaw.
Jim, along with person, we need year and what text the line points to.
The year… thats tough. 91 perhaps. Control your fear.
Scot Schmidt
1990?
Look Downhill
Jim got part of it and Greg got part of it, but we need a winning combo from one person!
Can I try again?

I guess, I need to get up earlier in the morning, for these contests…
Whoops, sorry, I was too fast on my comments, none of the dates above are right, but 1991 is just a few years early. Jeff is mostly right.
One more?

Jeff is closer, what I’m looking for is the date the photo was published in the magazine that put in the line pointing to his head. That wasn’t on any poster I know of…
Scot Schmidt
1995

Great fun for the morning, thanks Lou!

Greg is hot, give it another go you guys. Schmidt had shots like this on posters, but this one is out of a magazine and has a line pointing from his head to a text comment.

Jeff HAS IT !!
Must have been an old photo… the last year that the Solly SX92 boots were cool was sometime in 1992-1993 along with the 997s. I want to say that the “eXtremes” came out about the same time!
Yeah, trick question. I’ve been too easy on you guys!
Woohoo!
I’ll be back online next week, what a start to the weekend!
Jeff, contact us for your free backpack!
