OVERVIEW
Many skiers will describe themselves as “experts,” and then admit, in the same breath, that they “don’t do bumps.” It’s not surprising. Moguls take pride in making you look bad. Whether you’re an occasional bumper looking to smooth and polish your technique, or a total newcomer who has always stuck to the corduroy, PSIA Alpine Team Coach Michael Rogan and pro skier Marcus Caston will help you build the confidence and skills to survive and thrive on terrain where the groomers never go—all while looking good doing it.

INSTRUCTORS
Michael Rogan

You know the skiers who teach the ski instructors how to ski? That’s the Professional Ski Instructors of America’s alpine team, and Michael Rogan is the coach of that team. He skis 250 days a year—most of them teaching a range of skiers from junior racers to the most elite members of the U.S. Ski Team. “I’m excited to teach you how to have better, more exciting days on the mountain,” Michael says. “Skiing is my passion and I believe the more you know, the more fun you’ll have.” Michael, living a skier’s dream, spends his North American winters in the Tahoe area, then travels to Ski Portillo in Chile for the South American winter.
Marcus Caston

Marcus Caston, who lives in Utah, is a professional freeskier who has become a familiar face to the many fans of the Warren Miller movies. Like so many great freeskiers, he grew up racing, and he relies on those skills—anticipation, edging, balance, and aggressiveness—to tear it up on big mountains all over the world. He says he’s always had a special love for skiing moguls—something not all racers embrace. “A lot of really good skiers never venture into moguls—they don’t want to work that hard, or they don’t have the ‘right’ skis, or they’re afraid of looking bad. I don’t always look great in bumps myself—no one does all the time—but I love the challenge. Wherever there’s moguls, there’s a true test of your ability and a chance to get better at skiing.”
