Achieving a national team nomination to participate as a member of the U.S. Ski Team or U.S. Snowboarding is an amazing accomplishment and one for which an athlete can be justifiably proud. It is the result of years of training and competition resulting in the opportunity for an athlete to showcase their skills on the world’s stage and another steppingstone to pursue goals and dreams for Olympic gold.

The vision of the USSA is to make the United States of America the best in the world in Olympic skiing and snowboarding. To that end, the organization is here to provide athletes with the highest possible level of year-round athletic service so that they can achieve those goals and Olympic dreams.

The National Team section of ussa.org is a valuable educational resource for national team athletes. It provides an overview of the USSA as a world-class sports organization, outlines important athletic program information, details benefits for national team athletes and also highlights important responsibilities.
