Summit & Eastern Academies
Five days at Killington to kick off the season: an early-season tune-up, amazing clinicians, and time with old friends and new ones. December 14–18, 2026.
Five Days of Learning to Start the Season
The week is packed with everything you love: a fantastic early-season tune-up, amazing clinicians and five days of learning, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones, and plenty of fun as you focus on your own development.
Short on time? The Mini Academy weekend, December 12–13, offers the same early-season energy in two days.

Alpine Eastern Academy: A New Approach to Assessment Preparation
Participants ski all week in groups led by Eastern Education Staff. The long-running Level I and II Colleges have been replaced with more focused Prep offerings, aligned with the new modular assessment formats. Choose where you want the most targeted coaching (Skiing & Technical Knowledge/Movement Analysis, or Teaching & People Skills), and receive individualized written feedback to guide your development beyond the event.
When you register, choose your package and then your session:
- General Development: Skiing Skills Development (Registered & Level I, or Level II), Seniors’ Peer Group, Women’s Peer Group, or Teaching Skills Development (Level I & II)
- Assessment Readiness: Level I Immersion (Registered Members), Level II Immersion in Skiing & Tech/MA or Teaching & People (Level I Members), or Level III Immersion in Skiing & Tech/MA or Teaching & People (Level II Members)
Tip: sign in at members.thesnowpros.org before you register. See the group descriptions on the Alpine Eastern Academy calendar listing.
Bring a Friend: Eastern Academy Social Package

The Cocktail Party runs Thursday from 4:30 to 8:00 pm, with a cash bar, hors d’oeuvres, a raffle, the Eastern Academy awards ceremony, a photo booth, sponsor tables and live music.
