🌧️ Pacific Northwest Liquid Sunshine Survival Kit ❄️

If you were on Mt. Hood last week, you know... summer ski camp doesn’t always feel like summer.

Between rain, wind, sleet, and even fresh snow, staying warm and dry wasn’t just about comfort - it helped our athletes stay focused and get the most out of every training session.

Here are a few of our coaches’ rainy-day essentials:

🏔️ Waterproof shell jacket Ski moments from Helly Hansen
👖 Full side-zip shell bibs Ski moments from Helly Hansen
🐑 Merino wool base layers Woolly Clothing Co.
🧤 Waterproof rubber gloves
🥽 Low-light goggle lens (yellow or rose) Xevo Optics Official
✨ Goggle squeegee + anti-fog spray Stream2Sea
🧼 Microfiber cloth to keep goggles clear
🧥 Waterproof changing poncho Ski moments from Helly Hansen
👢 Boot dryer for dry boots and gloves every morning Hedgehog Dryer - award-winning dryers for sports & outdoor gear

Many of the Helly Hansen items featured are available through the CMAC Team Store.

We’re also putting together a Coach Recommendations Gear Guide with links to all of our favorite products, making it easy for CMAC families to find gear that’s been tested in real Pacific Northwest conditions. Stay tuned!

What piece of gear can you not live without on a wet Mt. Hood day? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️

CMAC Senior Shoutout: Ian DeCarie 🎓

Ian joined CMAC in 2015 and has spent the past several years developing his skiing in the Pacific Northwest and especially Crystal Mountain. Over that time, he gained valuable experience in the sport and built meaningful friendships within the team.

He shared his thanks to coaches Alan, Uros, and Enzo for their support along the way.

Ian will be attending University of British Columbia, where he plans to continue free skiing while in school.

Wishing Ian all the best in this next chapter. 🎿
