This outfitting partnership will be for any and all international competitions, including World Cup, World Championship, and National events, as well as official training camps globally leading up to and during the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, China.
There was one other outlet, however, that Volcom used to announce the partnership. Through the company's YouTube channel, Volcom released a video announcing the partnership. The video has more than a few U.S. Snowboard Team members and a guest appearance by NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal.
