Ebony Rose Ski Club was founded by a group of African American skiers who wanted to share their enthusiasm for the sport with other ethnic minorities. Whether a skier or snowboarder, beginner to expert, or even if you don’t ski, all members of the general population are welcome.

ACTIVITIES

We have activities for singles or married couples, however our emphasis is on our youth (the skiers of tomorrow), with special programs, scholarships and subsidies designed to motivate youngsters to learn and/or improve their skiing skills. Off season activities include camping trips, tennis, rafting, bowling and social events, and fundraising events.

AFFILIATIONS/GOALS

Ebony Rose Ski Club is also a member of the “The National Brotherhood of Skiers,” consisting of 83 clubs with over 14,000 members nationally. The NBS supports African American athletes in skiing and other Winter related activities. An objective already accomplished is preparing African American skiers for acceptance to the U.S. Olympic team; another objective is to identify, develop and support African American athletes who will win international and winter sports competitions representing the United States.

MEETINGS

Dues are $40 annually. The club meets at 7:00 pm on the second Wednesday of the month at the Montego Bay, SW 13th and Jefferson, in Portland.
