Bringing together 58 member clubs and thousands of supporters from around the world, the NBS Summit offers a week of winter sports to raise funds to support their mission: increasing participation in winter sports while developing and supporting athletes of color who will win international competitions.
The summit is tentatively scheduled for February 22 to March 1, 2025.
"We are excited to return to a mountain owned and operated by Vail Resorts following the experience of a lifetime they created for NBS at Vail Mountain to celebrate our 50th anniversary," said Henri Rivers, president of The NBS, in a statement. "Our annual summit is our most important event of the year, and Keystone Resort has something to offer each of our dedicated members and their families—from the incredible employees at Keystone who create the guest experience every day, to unbeatable high alpine views atop the brand-new Bergman Express chairlift, to the ice skating, sleigh rides and more in the resort's villages, there are so many ways to embrace snow sports at Keystone."
Nearly 1,500 people of color who love to ski, ride, or spend time in the mountains are expected to travel to Colorado to celebrate the NBS summit.
Ben Finley and Art Clay put together the inaugural summit in 1973.
“None of it was planned,” Finley told the Vail Daily last year. “I describe the development of this organization like packing a little snowball at the top of the hill and starting it down the run, and it gets bigger and bigger as it goes until you say ‘Oh s—, look at what we ended up with.’”
Keystone was chosen for its ease of access from Denver International Airport and its approachable and varied terrain for all levels of skiers and riders. Programming related to the summit occurs on and off the mountain, and includes tours, clinics, game nights, après parties, concerts, and the event's signature parade.
