Posted On: February 4, 2021 By :Comcast will continue as the official cable television and communications partner of U.S. Ski & Snowboard through 2023. The sponsorship renewal will allow Comcast to support the national governing body’s Olympic skiers and snowboarders and will feature the company’s Xfinity brand as the title sponsor of the Xfinity Birds of Prey men’s alpine ski racing events in Beaver Creek, Colorado.

We are proud to keep Comcast in the U.S. Ski & Snowboard family.”
In addition, Comcast will provide ancillary sponsorship opportunities around the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing by supporting some of U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s most prominent athletes.
“We are proud to extend this partnership and continue to support Team USA and the incredible U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes,” said Matt Lederer, vice president of branded partnerships at Comcast. “U.S Ski & Snowboard plays an integral role in growing the sport and helping athletes of all levels realize their dreams, and we feel privileged to continue to be part of that journey.”
