Grand Prize + Support the Future of Snow Sports
The stage is set at the Black Powder Festival. Finalists from across the country will battle it out for the $20,000 Grand Prize while we also give back to the community with a $5,000 contribution to the National Brotherhood of Snow Sports Scholarship Fund — supporting the next generation of Black skiers and snowboarders.
The Black Diamond Talent Competition is more than a stage — it's a platform for impact. Each year, we will contribute $5,000 to the National Brotherhood of Snow sports (NBS) Scholarship Fund, creating opportunities for young people to explore skiing and snowboarding.
This partnership reflects our commitment to both artistry on stage and legacy on the slopes.
