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.
