Discover Tuscany, Italy Pre- Trip Cinque Terre The Cinque Terre ia rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia. "The Five Lands" comprises five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia,Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Over the centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the sea. Part of its charm is the lack of visible corporate development. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages, and cars cannot reach them from the outside. Post- Trip Rome Rome is the capital of Italy and also of the Province of Rome and of the region of Lazio. With 2.7 million residents in 1,285.3 km (496.3 sq mi), it is also the country's largest and most populated comune and fourth-most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. The urban area of Rome extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of around 3.8 million. Between 3.2 and 4.2 million people live in Rome metropolitan area. The city is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, on the Tiber within Lazio (Latium). Vatican City is an independent country within the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states.

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 snowboarding 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. You can participate no matter what your level of experience or ability at skiing or snowboarding. Ski Jammers Memberships The National Brotherhood of Skiers The NBS, chartered in 1974 is a non-profit organization comprised of over eighty predominantly African American ski clubs. NBS clubs throughout the United States include over 12,000 adults and children as members. The major objective of the NBS is to identify, develop, and finance the training of young African American athletes who will someday qualify for the U.S. National and Olympic Ski and Snowboard teams. Find out more about the NBS on the web at http://www.nbs.org The Texas Ski Council The TSC is a non-profit organization of snow sports clubs in the state of Texas. The objectives of the TSC are to promote and encourage individual and group interest in snow sports and to secure economical and preferential services for Texas skiers and snowboarders.
