PARK CITY, UT (Dec. 10, 2014) – U.S. Ski Team athletes and U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association events will continue to have the on-hill equipment and safety related support they need in the coming years thanks to a unique partnership with Word Cup Supply Inc. (WCS) and its European partner SPM.

QUOTES

Brad Williams, President and CEO, World Cup Supply
We’re thrilled to renew our longstanding commitment to the USSA and U.S. Ski Team athletes. Our partnership is focused not only on ensuring that our teams have the best on-hill equipment possible, but also on increasing awareness and focus on safety in ski racing across the U.S.
It is especially rewarding to partner on educational efforts related to on-hill safety, whether it be through sponsorship of the Club Excellence meeting or production of on-line videos related to b-net and other important safety topics. Our commitment to event safety is clear with our newly acquired air pad finish system and on-hill air pads that will be used by USSA over the next five years at key events throughout the U.S.  We’re also proud to be able to do a number of other ‘little things’ that will help USSA in their promotion of the sport of alpine ski racing.

Calum Clark, Vice President of Events, USSA
World Cup Supply is an important partner for our organization at both the grassroots and elite levels. We are fortunate to have their continued support of safe ski racing at events all over the world.
