The North Face has unveiled the official uniforms and fall retail collection for the U.S. Ski Team. This launch follows the establishment of an eight-year partnership between the brand and the team that will run through the 2034 Winter Games.

Why it matters

The deal marks a significant shift for the U.S. Ski Team, which previously relied on long-term outfitting partnerships with brands like Spyder and Kappa. The new gear aims to outfit athletes through the upcoming World Championships and beyond.

The partnership spans an eight-year term through the 2034 Games. The new collection debuted on the world stage when Paula Moltzan secured a victory at the World Cup in Soelden, Austria.
