ASIA Bumpfest Bump It Up With ASIA! -
Saturday February 4 and Sunday February 5, 2012
Would you like to be able to ski more of the mountain? When your ski buddies happen upon a mogul field do you look for an easier way down? Then this is the program for you.

With our Mogul Intro and Mogul Improvement Clinics we will teach you the basic techniques needed to navigate the “Bumps”, and if you are already skiing the “Bumps”, our clinics will help improve your skills and make you a better mogul skier. Who ever thought taking ski lessons could be this much fun…..

The Bump Festival will provide 2 days of unmatched skiing and learning taught by our hand picked PSIA and CSIA coaches. Ray Owens says, “I learn something new every year!”

It's a Skiing Best Buy, at only $TBA! Judging by the attendance, which is growing every year, it looks like this has become another favorite program for ASIA members.

The Clinics
Intermediate Skiing Improvement is for folks comfortable skiing groomed blue square trails who want to venture toward the easier blacks. We'll focus on developing the confidence to stay out on the mountain when the groomed packed powder is gone, and conditions break down. As the snow gets cut and piled up, we'll work on the tactics and techniques for negotiating the ice and piles that toss us around.
Mogul Introduction This two day clinic gets you off the groomed terrain and acquainted with mogul skiing. Moguls skied are on beginner to intermediate terrain and progressions provide a fun, easy approach to learning bump skiing. Short radius turning skills are helpful, and will be developed and refined in this clinic. It’s lots of fun and a great ski experience.
Mogul Improvement This clinic covers two days of working on approaches to skiing better in bumps on steeper pitches and in varying snow conditions. This clinic will help you capture the thrill of skiing bumps to the fullest. Sign up if you are comfortable on most terrain on the mountain, and have experience skiing intermediate moguls.
The Details
We'll have breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, our Saturday night buffet with music and dancing, along with lift tickets and two days of instruction, taxes and gratuities included. Come join the festivities – it’s sure to be a weekend of fun skiing, good food, good friends and dancing, and all for only $TBA. Can't stay for dinner? Already have lift tickets? 70 plus? Call or email coordinator Ray Owens for special pricing.
