Ski Jammers, the first predominately black
ski club in Texas, was officially organized September 12, 1982 and chartered in January 1983 at which time we became accepted
into the National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS). In May 1985 we joined the Texas Ski Council (TSC). Our major objective is to
promote snow skiing in the Black community with special emphasis on youth development. We believe that people with similar
ideas about skiing and snow boarding should join together to experience the fellowship in skiing and other social and athletic
activities. We sponsor several ski trips each season, which can accommodate expert to beginner skiers.
The club schedules
several ski trips each year to resorts in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
