[Weatherproofing the Dream] Woolly Bear Outerwear had Team Salwan's back throughout the 2024/25 season — providing elite winter gear that kept Ashton, Coach Saundo, and the team warm, focused, and ready for every challenge the road to the Olympics presented.
Keeping Team Salwan in the Game
Freestyle Aerial skiing is a sport of precision, fearlessness — and brutal winter conditions. Long before Ashton Salwan launches into a triple twisting flip, there are frozen mornings, biting winds, and hours spent preparing in temperatures that test both focus and endurance. Staying warm isn’t a perk. It’s a performance requirement. That’s why Woolly Bear Outerwear has become an essential part of Ashton’s Olympic pursuit.
Since 2024, Woolly Bear Outerwear has equipped Ashton, Coach Saundo, and Team Salwan’s manager with elite winter gear built for the realities of life on the road. Through frozen training mornings, long competition days, and marathon travel stretches, their coats have delivered the warmth, protection, and confidence needed to stay ready in every setting.
These jackets aren’t just gear. They’re a statement: We’ve got your back — no matter how cold it gets.
Warming the Mission
From FIS World Cups and NorAm competitions to training camps across North America, Europe, and Asia, every venue brings its own weather challenges. Hours spent standing at the bottom of the hill in sub-zero temperatures, long walks through snow-covered venues, and travel days that begin before sunrise all become part of the job.
It's in these quiet, unglamorous moments that Woolly Bear Outerwear makes the biggest difference — providing the warmth, protection, and reliability that allow Team Salwan to stay focused on the task at hand.
"Woolly Bear helps us stay focused on the goal instead of the weather. When you're spending long days on the hill, that makes a bigger difference than most people realize."
— Ashton Salwan
A Partner in Performance
What sets Woolly Bear apart isn’t just the gear — it’s the heart behind it. Their mission to outfit real-world adventurers and athletes who brave the elements aligns seamlessly with Ashton’s own grit, resilience, and relentless schedule.
They didn’t just sponsor outerwear. They sponsored belief.
Their support acknowledges what few companies understand: that excellence isn’t just built in the air — it’s built in the hours before takeoff. In warm-ups. In wait times. In the margins where most people aren’t looking.
Thank You, Woolly Bear Outerwear!
Your support allows Team Salwan to stay focused on what matters most: training harder, competing better, and continuing the pursuit of an Olympic dream.
Thank you for helping us face every winter challenge with confidence, comfort, and the belief that no forecast is too tough to overcome.
