Scotty has a younger brother named William and an older brother named Jason. In July 2016 Scotty married former Miss New Hampshire, Bridget Brunet. Lago passes on his love of snowboarding to young snowboarder campers at High Cascade Snowboard Camp, during his Signature Session,[4] Session 5: July 26 – August 3. Lago is a member of the Frends Crew made up of snowboarders Mason Aguirre, Kevin Pearce, Danny Davis, Keir Dillon, Jack Mitrani, Mikkel Bang and Luke Mitrani. Frends is a group of riders who turned their initial friendship into a formal alliance in 2007 to move the sport away from its recent competitive and business focus and return the sport to its grassroots, collegial beginnings.[5]
