Fire & Ice Mission

Fire & Ice supports the efforts of the National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS). The NBS has a mission to identify, develop, and support athletes of color who will win international and Olympic winter sports competitions representing the United States. Our goal is to have broader ethnic representation on the US Olympic winter sports teams. To that end, we provide encouragement, training, and financial support to develop young skiers and snowboarders who are elite-level competitive athletes.

As part of the National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS), Fire & Ice Ski Club supports the efforts of the NBS by promoting:
  • Competitive skiing & snowboarding activities for our youth, with a special focus on ages 6 through 8 years. Our youth programs are designed to provide encouragement, training, and financial support to develop young skiers and snowboarders at all levels.
  • Recreational skiing & snowboarding activities for youth and adult at all levels. Throughout the winter season we offer a variety of ski/snowboard trips, one-day, multiple-day, youth, first timer & beginner, competitive, and adult-only activities.

  • Year round youth activities that enhance education and provide an environment in which our youth can develop the necessary skills to become independent, responsible and contributing adults.
