New Alliance to Expand Center of Excellence Ski Service Center

WINTERSTEIGER & Swix to increase involvement with US Ski Team

With the aim of providing the right resources for athletes who are inspired to be the Best in the World, the US Ski Team is excited to announce a new, cutting-edge alliance between Swix, the US Ski Team, and WINTERSTEIGER. Based at the Center of Excellence in Park City, Utah, this cooperative effort will bolster the sport of ski racing through a reimagined ski and boot service education platform.

This project will begin as a set of new protocols and an updated ski & boot service facility that will be available to the USST athletes at the COE, but will quickly evolve into a domestic standardized ski and boot service system that will help minimize the “equipment variable” in all athletes’ progression regardless of where they choose to have their equipment serviced.

The service center “lab” will be where best practices are developed, defined, updated, and first implemented with US Ski Team Service staff. Once refined and established, these training procedures will be conveyed to all USSA athletes, coaches, performance shops, and academies through a training and certification platform.
