About
The Corbeau Ski Club, Inc. began as one man's dream of having a black ski club in Cincinnati. After years of talking about the National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS), in 1985 Robert Jackson brought on board Daryl Carter, Harvey Pickrum and Beverly Clark who became the charter members. The primary aim of the club was to introduce the sport of skiing to the black community with emphasis on recruiting and training youth to compete as members of the U.S. Ski Team. Corbeau quickly grew to become one of the most progressive ski clubs in the NBS. The club was granted its charter in 1986 and was the first NBS club to acquire non-profit/tax-exempt status.
