U.S. Ski & Snowboard, formerly known as the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, is the national governing body for Olympic and Paralympic skiing and snowboarding. Founded in 1905, the organization provides leadership and direction for skiers and snowboarders from over 400 member clubs. The association is headquartered in Park City, Utah.

U.S. Ski & Snowboard and its local clubs coordinate nationwide programs in 10 distinctly different Olympic and Paralympic sports—alpine, cross-country, freestyle moguls, freestyle aerials, freeski, snowboard, ski jumping, Nordic combined, Para alpine and Para snowboard. It is responsible for all aspects of competitive skiing and snowboarding from grassroots programs through elite international teams, including training and fielding the annual U.S. Ski and Snowboarding teams, and, most importantly, the Olympic and Paralympic teams in those sports.

U.S. Ski & Snowboard is composed of nearly 40,000 athletes, officials and coaches, with a network of over 100,000 parents, volunteers and supporters.

It is the most diverse of any Olympic and Paralympic sports organization with 10 different athletic sport programs that account for nearly 50 percent of the Olympic Winter Games events.
