ABOUT SCOTTY

Scotty was kind, thoughtful, loving and energetic. Scotty lived everyday to the fullest and he was born to move, it’s what he loved to do. Skiing became his greatest passion and in the off season he loved nothing more than to grab his skateboard and head out with his friends. After school in Tahoe City, kids of all ages would gather to skate but guess what, they didn’t (and still don’t) have a place to go. They would roam around the town until they were asked to move on. Scotty didn’t like breaking the rules but also really wanted to practice his sport. In the spring of 2022 it was his intention to start a petition to build a park, however he passed away in a ski accident in February. Hours after his death his family decided to continue on with Scotty’s plans and get to work on trying to build a skatepark for the people of the community. We have created the Scotty Lapp Foundation. The organization’s first big project will be to raise funds for the Scotty Lapp Memorial Skatepark.
