When he first began backcountry skiing, Rogers was fortunate to have some incredible mentors like Colin Zacharias, Tom Murphy, Brian Lazar, and Markus Beck. He founded Powder Cloud to be a mentorship resource that will transfer the knowledge of experienced professionals to all backcountry skiers and riders. Backcountry skiing has provided him with incredible happiness, lasting friendships, and the opportunity to traverse the snowscape across Europe and North America. His favorite ski destinations are the South Coast Mountains of British Columbia and the peaks of Iceland. He currently resides in Ridgway, Colo., with his amazing wife, Annie, and their entertaining dog, Hobbes.
