Events

The NBS has year round activities, but our premiere activities occur during the winter; one national Summit, four regional winter events, and a host of individual club trips. The NBS provides the opportunity for over 20,000 enthusiasts to enjoy major resorts, various types of entertainment and experience first-hand alpine, snowboard and other competitions featuring nationally ranked athletes.

The Summit is the largest, continuously running ski convention in America. Organized and hosted by the National Brotherhood of Skiers for each of the last 30 years, this event is unique to the winter sports industry. Unlike other ski weeks, in addition to winter sports access and competitions, this event includes our annual meeting, a full program of night time parties, concerts, a formal dinner, non-ski activities, and youth camp. It is our primary, NATIONAL fund raiser which supports our mission, through the Olympic Scholarship Fund, and year round operations.

In addition to the Summit, the regions have their own regional events. These events, also known as Winterfest or Winter Carnival, are held annually and attract 500 to 1200 participants. What you can expect at a regional event is more great skiing and snowboarding, apres ski and evening parties, entertainment, and networking with hundreds of new and old friends. Funds from these events support the NBS Regional Youth Programs, as well as the regional operations of the National Brotherhood of Skiers.
