December 16-20, 2024

We can’t wait to see you all at these events this year! Make sure you’ve blocked out the dates, December 16 –20, 2024 at Killington, Vermont.

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. This decision has come after careful consideration and discussion with our dedicated community. We believe that these refreshed names accurately reflect the prestige of our events and spark the interest of new and returning members alike. For the first time ever, Summit Academy will now be accessible to Snowboard Level III certified members, broadening the scope and inclusivity of our offerings. Our commitment remains to keep the excitement alive and elevate your experience. Join us in celebrating this evolution and discover what makes our events truly exceptional!

Info for people in Pro Jam 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.
