We had 32 participants who braved the weather in Ellicottville, New York. Most skiers spent at least 1-1/2 hours skiing before they came in to warm up. Pat Byrd, Trip Captain, and Christopher Carson, Trip Co-captain did a great job putting the trip together. Chris is Pat’s grandson. On the Holiday Valley trip we had some new friends—Leah Pirrung, Kevin Wiley’s Sister and Doro- thy Pirrung, Kevin’s Mother. Leah is a snowboarder who took a lesson. Doris Collins was a first time skier who bought the beginner package. She stated she had fun and would return again. Thomas Wiggins couldn’t resist the call of the poker tables from Allegany/Seneca Casino. He took a cab to the facility, but didn’t break the bank. He had fun!! Pat and Chris passed out a sheet of Little known Facts About President Obama. People found it very in- teresting. We had several youth traveling and skiing with us: Darnell and Courtney Fenderson, Jalyn Cottingham, Monica Carson, Jamira Wilcoxson, Eric Valentine and our co-captain, Chris Carson. That’s our future for Esprit! We safely returned to Cleveland around 7:30 P.M. 3 4 Get Ready for the MLK Skiing and Gaming Weekend Holiday Valley Ski Resort/Seneca Allegany Casino and Hotel January 23-24, 2010 Christal Howard Wiggins – Trip Captain Thomas Wiggins – Trip Assistant Reservation Information: Christal – 216-214-7578 [email protected] Reserve your space on this fun-filled, overnight trip for January 23-24, 2010.

Jahi Welcome to the National Brotherhood of Skiers, Inc. (NBS), I am Haymon T. Jahi, NBS President. It is my pleasure to introduce you to our organization. Our key focus is finding and developing Olympic caliber skiers. Our focus is one of a kind, and fosters asser- tiveness, self-actualization, and self-determination; in addition to developing leaders that are a benefit to vari- ous communities. The NBS is an organization by which skiing positively impacts African-American communi- ties through programs that provide opportunities for adults and youth to participate in recreational and com- petitive skiing. These programs are developed through member clubs of the NBS. The NBS provides fund- ing to its youth programs in support of young athletes who otherwise would not have the opportunity, or finan- cial resources to ski competitively or recreationally. Our History Our organization was chartered in 1974 and incorporated in 1975. We are a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organiza- tion. We operate through the efforts of dedicated volunteers. The NBS depends on sponsorships and fund- raising events. You can help the NBS achieve our mission-- To identify, develop, and support competitive, African American young skiing athletes who will one day compete on the United States Olympic Ski Team. The NBS holds an annual convention/ event known as the NBS Summit – often called the ―Black Ski Summit‖ which attracts 700 – 900 adult and 50 – 100 youth skiers. The ski clubs that make up the NBS are organized into four regions—West, Rocky Mountain, Midwest, and East. In addition we have At-Large Clubs which are located outside the contiguous United States. Each re- gion plans fund-raising events to support its operation and youth skier development. Regional events are generally much smaller events than the Summit. Looking Ahead Over the next two years the NBS offers a Spring/Summer fundraiser for NBS members and non-members who are interested in traveling outside of the United States. What You Can Do When planning to attend the NBS Summit I encourage you to register, come out to the mountain and have a great time with us. Your registration supports our youth program, ongoing yearly activities which including Summer and Winter Race Training, Summer Dryland Clinics, yearly ski training scholarships, youth coaches lodging and transportation, and Summit expenses. Our Summit activities need your support—we encourage you to register for our annual Summit and support the National Brotherhood of Skiers—as well as the local area surrounding the mountain and the travel indus- try. Thank you for taking the time to visit our web site, learn more about us and support the NBS. Have a blessed day and see you at the Summit! Haymon T. Jahi NBS President 6 7 Editor’s Note: This event is sponsored by the Forest City Dental Society of which Dr. Walker is a member and who is requesting fellow Esprit member participation. This event is not an Esprit Fundraiser. The proceeds from ticket sales do not directly benefit the ski club, however membership participation is appreciated and may encourage future ski members. Thank you for your par- ticipation. 8 Athletes - Team NBS The NBS mission is to identify, develop, and support athletes of color who will win international and Olympic winter sports competitions representing the United States. Team NBS is the group within the NBS that is organized to deliver on the mission above. Team NBS is a National Team, under the direction of a Competition Director and Coach, that has the support of other national NBS resources, including the National Youth Director and Olympic Scholarship Fund Administrator.

  • Culture, Landscape & the Making of the Colorado Ski Industry
    CULTURE, LANDSCAPE, AND THE MAKING OF THE COLORADO SKI INDUSTRY by ANNE GILBERT COLEMAN B.A., Williams College, 1987 M.A., University of Colorado, 1992 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History 1996 This thesis for the Doctor of Philosophy degree by Anne Gilbert Coleman has been approved for the Department of History by Patricia Nelson Limerick Philip J. Deloria Date ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When people hear the topic of my dissertation, they often give me a knowing smile and ask if I am a skier. I say "I was a skier in my life before graduate school, when I had more time and a paycheck." This project has allowed me to explore Colorado's ski areas from the inside out, through their history, design, and marketing as well as their lifts, lodges, and trails. In the process I have met dozens of interesting people and incurred a number of debts. This project received financial support from the American Historical Association's Albert J. Beveridge Research Grant, the University of Colorado History Department's Douglas A. Bean Memorial Faculty Research Stipend and Pile Fellowship, the Roaring Fork Research Scholarship funded by Ruth Whyte, and from Dr. Giles D. Toll. I would like to thank all the people who helped me research this project, including Charlie Langdon at the Durango Herald, Mary Walker and Ingrid Schierllng Burnett at the Tread of Pioneers Museum, Sue Spearing at the Grand County Historical Society, all of the people at the University of Colorado Archives and the Colorado Historical Society, and Lisa Hancock, Jody Phillips McCabe, and my other friends at the Aspen Historical Society.
