Our objective is to introduce the NBS to the next generation of skiers, boarders and other Snowsports enthusiasts. We heard you loud and clear. We want to ski/board and party with other people of color. We are excited to bridge our legacy members and the next generations of skiers, boarders, etc. We party with a purpose, building relationships while expanding our networks with friends and family.

Join us as we anticipate several of our NBS athletes will compete in the Toyota U. S. Grand Prix Copper Mountain. It doesn't get any better!!
