The US Ski & Snowboard Association will help rebuild the British Ski & Snowboarding Association, which collapsed due to financial difficulties before the Vancouver Games, among other areas of co-operation.
The British Olympic Association and the United States Olympic Committee in a joint statement said they would also, cooperate on winter sports including organising coaching exchanges and training camps; push forward the use of digital technology in Olympic sports by bringing together the private sector and National Olympic Committees; organise a congress in London in 2011 on best practice in the running of National Governing Bodies; share best practices in youth sports and sports education.
USOC Chairman Larry Probst said: "The special relationship between Great Britain and the United States has been bolstered by this Agreement. [BOA chairman] Lord Moynihan is to be commended for his commitment to partnership and advancing the important ideals of the Olympic Movement.
"Our goal coming into the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games was to continue our efforts to engage the global Olympic Movement, learn from other National Olympic Committees and where possible, share our own expertise.
"With this Agreement, and others we've signed during these Games, I believe we have made progress against that objective. I look forward to working closely and collaboratively in the coming years with Lord Moynihan, Andy Hunt and the entire BOA."
Since losing the race to land the hosting rights for the 2016 Summer Olympics for Chicago, USOC has said it is determined to foster better links with a wider set of members in the IOC.
Lord Moynihan said: "This is a groundbreaking Agreement between two National Olympic Committees with a shared commitment to support the growth of the Olympic Movement not only in our own countries, but worldwide.”
