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.
