Kodiak Partners with U.S. Ski & Snowboard

— December 9, 2025 — Lifestyle
The breakfast foods company Kodiak has entered into a formal sponsorship agreement with the national governing body for Olympic and Paralympic skiing and snowboarding — U.S. Ski & Snowboard — in advance of the upcoming Winter Games. The partnership involves the brand providing nutritional support to the athletes.

As part of the collaboration, Kodiak will support U.S. Ski & Snowboard in refurbishing and upgrading its kitchen at the USANA Center of Excellence powered by iFIT. This move will "ensure the athletes have access to whole-grain, protein-packed foods essential for sustaining the demanding training loads."

This collaboration expands Kodiak's existing portfolio of sports sponsorships and is framed as a natural alignment given the two entities' shared geographical location in Park City, Utah, and their mutual focus on outdoor activity and high performance.
