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:

Southbay members of the Oakland club began
conducting meetings in San Jose. Interest in
starting a local club grew, and Fire and Ice Ski
Club was formed. Our membership grew to over 100
members during our first year and continues to
grow. We organize
functions throughout the year with a variety of
activities for folks of all ages. Some of the
events include ski trips, tennis tournaments, beach
parties, skating, bowling, theater, game parties,
community outreach, family activities, cruises,
wind surfing, camping, and whatever sparks the
interest of our members. Fire and Ice Ski
Club became a member of the National
Brotherhood of
Skiers
(NBS) in June 1990. The NBS is a non-profit
organization comprised of over eighty predominantly
African American ski clubs with over 12,000 adults
and children throughout the United States. The goal
of the NBS is to identify, develop, and finance the
training of future African American Olympians. All
training funds are provided through donations and
nationally sponsored fund raising activities such
as the National Black Summit. In less than two
decades, the NBS SUMMIT has become the largest ski
convention in the country and represents the
fastest growing segment of the skiing
market. In support of
the NBS efforts, Fire & Ice has become a member
of the United
States Skiing
Association
(USSA) and the Bay
Area Council of Ski
Clubs
which assist our racing efforts. Fire and Ice Ski
Club promotes the acquisition of skiing skills and
encourages competitive racing, primarily among our
youth. We support these efforts through local
fundraisers, such as ski trips, game parties, and
our annual Halloween Party. |
