The National Brotherhood of Skiers, Inc. (NBS) was founded in February 1973 in Aspen, Colorado, USA and incorporated in 1975. 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.
The current national president is Diana C. Starks.

Past athletes sponsored by the NBS who have gone on to compete internationally include:
