Bumps for Boomers
Moguls at Aspen
Bumps for Boomers offers adult skiers a smart, sustainable way to keep skiing fun, challenging, and enjoyable for years to come. Designed specifically for skiers ages 40 to 70 and beyond, the program reflects the realities of adult learning, pacing, and safety while still delivering meaningful progress and excitement on the mountain. Created in 2001 with a “Think Different” approach to instruction for older adults, Bumps for Boomers is now in its 24th season, drawing on more than two decades of experience and thousands of successful participants.
The program is ideal for intermediate and above skiers who are comfortable on blue trails but may feel intimidated by moguls, powder, or off-piste terrain. Many participants want better control, smoother skiing, and greater confidence, along with the ability to explore more of the mountain. Above all, they are looking to elevate their skills in a way that supports long-term, comfortable skiing and minimizes unnecessary impact on the body.
Bumps for Boomers focuses on smart, sustainable technique. Participants learn low-impact, efficient methods that emphasize soft-edge engagement, controlled turn shape, and intelligent use of terrain. Instruction centers on improving balance, control, and decision-making, helping skiers move with confidence through more varied and challenging conditions.
Coaches are from the Aspen Ski School
The program is delivered through a four-day small-group mogul and powder clinic that provides a safe, confidence-building pathway into bumps, powder, and off-piste skiing. Clinics run full days and are intentionally kept small to ensure personalized attention, targeted feedback, and a supportive learning environment. Returning participants can continue their progression through the Master of Bumps Academy (MBA).
All coaches are PSIA-certified, highly experienced instructors who are hand-picked from the Aspen Ski School. Advance reservations are recommended.

After reviewing their website…pretty pricey for 4 days!! Not only a boomer but you need be a wealthy one!! Doesn’t include lift tickets or tips!! Please include us cheaper boomers in your articles!
I’ve never taken this program but if you go to the website and scroll down you’ll see a picture labeled “FREE Mogul skiing tips.” Click thru and you can sign up for a very informative weekly email. I’ve benefited from the content and am happy to recommend it.
I’ve been receiving their great emails for several years. Some day I will attend the program. (Voice of Warren Miller, “if you don’t do it this year,….”)
I really like these 10-day tips! I’ve incorporated a few, and they help a lot; they’re more convenient (I’m in the Northeast) and more affordable than actual on-mountain lessons.
I just bought a “Groomers for Boomers” T-shirt – mainly because you don’t have a “Bumps for Boomers” version. (Hopefully soon? 🙂 )
