Roger Wangen is a ski instructor at Hyland Hills Ski Area. He is passionate about helping people ski smarter instead of harder, teaching adults skills they need to ski no matter their age or how long they’ve been away from the sport. Roger has taught the Ski Younger program at Hyland Hills since 2010, and has been a ski instructor for 35 years, including seven seasons at Beaver Creek in Vail, Colorado.
