On May 12, 2026, The North Face announced a multi-faceted 8-year partnership with U.S. Ski & Snowboard as the Official Performance Apparel partner through the 2034 Utah Olympics and Paralympics. The commercial launch now offers consumers the same paramount quality and performance in snow and lifestyle apparel and equipment that elite Olympic and Paralympic athletes trust and that meets podium-level expectations.
“When we announced our partnership with U.S. Ski & Snowboard this past May, we committed to supporting the best in skiing and snowboarding with gear that performs at the highest level. Today, we’re making that same athlete-tested performance and signature product design accessible to everyone with this collection,” said Chris Goble, Global Brand President at The North Face.
The U.S. Ski & Snowboard collection includes 55 unique pieces of performance and lifestyle apparel and equipment, ranging from technical competition outerwear to premium T-shirts, hoodies, fleece, hats, beanies, and travel equipment.
“The North Face built this gear to meet the standards of the best skiers and snowboarders in the world, and now our fans get to experience it too,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, U.S. Ski & Snowboard President and CEO. “We are proud to see our crest on a collection this strong, and we cannot wait to see it on mountains across the country this winter.”
