Club History

The Show-Me Skiers Ski Club was established in 1983 as the first black ski club in St. Louis.  We organize ski trips to Midwestern and Western States throughout the ski season.  Our club is an affiliate chapter of the National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS), the second largest ski organization in America.

The goal of the NBS is to promote skiing in the black community.  The primary challenge of the organization is to develop minority youths that will someday qualify for the US Nationals and Winter Olympic Ski Team.  The NBS has established a youth fund to administer money to youth programs and give scholarships to youth that demonstrate potential to make the Olympic Ski Team.

The Show-Me Skiers has expanded its scope to include warm weather activities such as swimming, tennis, racquetball, picnics, good health, networking and fun!!!
