Partner Program
The National Brotherhood of Skiers offers its ski club members another level
of participation via the NBS Partner Program. Our corporate partners help us provide
additional benefits to subscribers across the country by offering program
participants “most favored customer” status for the goods and
services they offer. Here’s how it works:
For an additional fee, NBS club members can subscribe to the Partner Program. Individual memberships are $50; family memberships are $100. This fee is a donation and a portion may be tax deductible to subscribers. The NBS Partner Program offers many tangible and intangible benefits.
Initial corporate partners include Intrawest and Vail Resorts Inc. Both are
offering NBS Partner Program participants a discount on lodging, lift tickets
and green fees when traveling independently to their winter and summer resorts.
Individual discounts cannot be used on group trips. For the list of available
properties, please visit
Vail Resorts and
Intrawest. They have committed
to offer NBS Partner Program subscribers the lowest individual rates available.
Typical discounts range from 10% to 15%.
Additional corporate relationships are under development. Discounts are being negotiated for sporting equipment, clothing and transportation.
NBS Partner Program subscribers will receive discounted registration for NBS national events, including AMCC and Summit, as well as reduced charges for fee-based functions at these events. For example, there will be a special Partner Program rate for the OSF fundraiser events at the 2004 AMCC at Copper Mountain. For the NBS ski club member who attends the annual national event and at least one other trip per year, the Partner Program pays for itself.

In the first year 60% will be allocated to the NBS Olympic Scholarship Fund (OSF), with 40% split between program administration and NBS operations. Subsequent years will see the OSF allocation decrease to 25%, with 20% to NBS ski clubs, 20% to NBS regions, and the remaining 35% split between program administration and NBS operations.
