The NBS aims to increase participation in winter sports while developing and supporting athletes of colour.
The organisation was founded in 1973 by Art Clay & Ben Finley and is comprised of over 58 clubs throughout the United States.
Membership includes approximately 7,500 snow sports enthusiasts.
Each year, the organisation hosts the NBS Black Summit, the largest gathering of skiers and snowboarders in the USA.

We have posted about the Brotherhood in the past on PlanetSKI:
“We are excited to return to a mountain owned and operated by Vail Resorts following the experience of a lifetime they created for NBS at Vail Mountain to celebrate our 50th anniversary,” said Henri Rivers, president of The NBS.
“Our annual summit is our most important event of the year, and Keystone Resort has something to offer each of our dedicated members and their families – from the incredible employees at Keystone who create the guest experience every day, to unbeatable high alpine views atop the brand-new Bergman Express chairlift, to the ice skating, sleigh rides and more in the resort’s villages, there are so many ways to embrace snow sports at Keystone.”
The NBS summit is scheduled for February 22 to March 1 2025 with 1,500 skiers and snowboarders expected to attend.
