Looking for one of the best mogul resorts in the world? Look no further.

In this episode, professional skier Marcus Caston travels to Mary Jane at Winter Park Resort in Colorado to ski the “mogul capital of the world.” How’d it get its reputation for moguls?

“How many moguls will we have to smash to reach nirvana?” Caston poses this question before he throws himself into his first run to find out.

Skiers: Marcus Caston, Chris Tatsuno, Freddy Mooney, Julie Ray
