CJ Rogers
CJ grew up in Seattle, Washington, where he was introduced to skiing and backpacking throughout the Cascades and British Columbia at a young age. Like many of his colleagues, he attended Montana State University, where he developed a deeper passion for the outdoors through backcountry skiing and climbing. During college, CJ discovered a love for teaching and sharing outdoor experiences with others. After graduating, CJ returned west to begin guiding in the Cascades. He now spends his winters in Southwest Montana and his summers in the Cascades, all while trying to ski as much as possible. When he’s not in the mountains, you can usually find him drinking coffee or riding his bike.
