Ebony Ice launched in 1989 as a local branch of the National Brotherhood of Snowsports. The organization hosts events all year round for skiers and snowboarders of all experience levels, as well as seasonal “Learn to Ski/Snowboard” classes. With about 75 members to date, membership is encouraged and does come with perks like discounts, scholarships and travel opportunities.

“Skiing is the kind of sport where unless somebody invites you and shows you and holds your hand, you would get there and not know what you're doing,” Ebony Ice president Ranjit Singh said. “In fact, I hear from a lot of people who say that they tried it one time, they didn't like it, and they wouldn't be willing to do it again.”
