PARK CITY, Utah — U.S. Ski & Snowboard announced on Thursday a new partnership with Woodward, designating Woodward Copper, Colorado and Woodward Park City, Utah facilities as official training centers for U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes through 2025.

The agreement will see athletes from U.S. Ski & Snowboard, the Olympic National Governing Body (NGB) of ski and snowboard sports in the United States, training at Woodward Copper and Woodward Park City leading up to the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina.

“It’s been amazing to see Woodward embrace progression and training areas indoors and on-mountain at both Copper and Woodward Park City,” said five-time Olympian and professional snowboarder Shaun White. “I’ve spent a lot of time in the pipes at both places the past two seasons getting ready for the Olympics.”

White previously praised Woodward Park City as a consistent and reliable place for high-performance shredding.

Woodward is owned by Park City-based POWDR, who also owns Snowbird and Copper Mountain.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Woodward to elevate our freeski and snowboard athletes’ training,” said U.S. Ski & Snowboard Freestyle, Freeski and Snowboard Director Jeremy Forster. “Woodward’s facilities at Copper Mountain and in Park City will provide key year-round training for our Pro and Rookie Team athletes for years to come.”

“Woodward Park City was built with the intention of empowering and inspiring the next generation of action sports athletes,” Woodward Park City General Manager Phoebe Mills said.

“This partnership with U.S. Ski & Snowboard furthers our commitment to current and future U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes and encourages local youth to dream big.”
