Crystal Mountain Alpine Club (CMAC) is a non-profit, predominately volunteer organization founded in 1963. CMAC is for skiers of all ages who enjoy competitive ski racing as well as advanced free skiing. Our coaching staff is dedicated to helping racers at all levels achieve their personal ski racing goals. CMAC's philosophy is to provide a program that is fun and enjoyable for all participants while developing strong skiing skills learned through structured training and directed free skiing using the entire mountain. This creates strong racers and excellent skiers with a deep love of the sport. The CMAC philosophy not only develops successful ski racers, but skiers who will participate in the sport throughout their lives. This philosophy also develops life skills that transcend sports. CMAC alums have successfully competed in national and international competition. Most recently two alumni - Scott Macartney and Libby Ludlow - raced in the Olympics for the US Ski Team - and then come back to coach the younger athletes providing CMAC the strongest coaching staff in the Pacific Northwest. CMAC and its racers regularly enjoyed great success, earning top results at PNSA team championships at all levels of our program. CMAC’s program is highly regarded and respected at the regional as well as the national level.

Registration closes Tuesday, September 15! ⛷️

Come be part of CMAC - the premier ski racing program in the Pacific Northwest.
For more than 60 years, CMAC has been developing exceptional skiers - from kids learning to love the mountain to athletes competing at the very highest levels of the sport. CMAC alumni include U.S. Ski Team members and Olympians Scott Macartney, Libby Ludlow and Katie Hensien, with the next generation, including Canyon Osborn, continuing that tradition.

But CMAC isn’t just about producing elite racers.

Our Mighty Mite program is where it starts - teaching kids to ski the whole mountain, in all kinds of terrain and conditions. They build confidence, independence, strong fundamentals and, most importantly, a lifelong love of skiing.

From your first turns with CMAC to the U.S. Ski Team, there’s a place to grow here.

Registration closes Tuesday, September 15.

Come ski with us. Come race with us. Come join CMAC. 💙⛷️🤍

IYKYK. 💙

Summer at CMAC isn’t just about skiing.
It’s sunrise chairlift rides.

It’s hiking, mountain biking, swimming, and trail runs.

It’s plyometrics, dryland, video review, and learning how to become a smarter athlete.
It’s soccer games, capture the flag, and laughing until your stomach hurts.

It’s community dinners, parent socials, lifelong friendships, and teammates who become family.

Yes, we’re developing faster ski racers.
But we’re also building resilient, confident young people who love being in the mountains and love being part of something bigger than themselves.

That’s what summer camp is really about.

We have two weeks left. Sign up on our website - link in bio, as always.

🌧️ 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! ⬇️
