Silver Bean Coffee
U.S. mogul skier Shannon Bahrke’s signature athlete blends support the U.S. Ski
Team’s favorite charities. “Drink some Billy
Demong Blend today and help me support
the next generation of nordic combined
athletes,” says Demong. The Experts Only
Blend hit the spot for Ski Racing editors.

Smith Toaster Slider Glasses
Polarized and perfect for those who don’t like heavy objects putting dents on the bridge
of their noses, these shades are super lightweight and comfortable but durable. Wear
them for backcountry hikes or nordic jaunts or to keep from squinting while watching
races. They come with three colored lenses to adapt to different light conditions.

Smart Wool NTS tops
Billy Demong was instrumental in the design of the
new Smart Wool NTS baselayer. These fast-drying,
100 percent Smart Wool tops are made to keep you
warm while minimizing chafing and avoiding bulk.
Jack Black Lip Balm
We’re addicted to this stuff. How can you argue with
shea butter and avocado oil? Enriched with superior
skin conditioners and packed with natural mint,
this balm is the bomb for the chapped that come
from skiing at 10,000 feet (or more, or less). It
offers sun protection with an SPF of 25 and guards
against windburn and temperature extremes. But
be forewarned; you and your gift recipients will be
addicted, too.
