Welcome to an exciting new chapter of our premier events! We are thrilled to introduce Eastern Academy (formerly Snow Pro Jam) and Summit Academy (formerly Masters Academy), as we embark on a bold rebranding journey for these events this year.

Info for people in Eastern Academy Established Groups:
“Established” groups must be actively coordinated by the leading Education Staff member. Once actively registered, please reach out to your group leader. To create greater equity for all, a group may slide with the same leader for a maximum of two years. If after those two years a group would like to continue together, they are welcome to work with a new Ed Staff member. We encourage all “Established” group participants to select “General” as their registration option and communicate goals with their group leader.
