SmartWool will continue its partnership with the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding as the official sock supplier through 2011. The partnership, that spans nearly a decade, reinforces SmartWool‘s commitment to those who exude the SmartWool lifestyle and strive for athletic excellence.

“We are delighted to continue our relationship and help America’s best snow sports athletes prepare each winter for competition around the globe as well as get ready for the highest level of international competition when the eyes of the world are watching in 2010,” said Gardner Flanigan, SmartWool marketing director.

“SmartWool is a great long-running partner of the Teams,” said Ted Morris, the Team‘s vice president of sales and marketing. “SmartWool continues to provide our athletes with the most comfortable and top-performing product available and we are very excited to carry on our phenomenal partnership as we head to Vancouver.”

“It’s good to have SmartWool supporting our athletes with product that keeps them going all season long,” Morris said.
