Midweek Southern Vermont School Programs

2023/24 JISP Sign-Up is now LIVE!

The Bromley Outing Club’s Junior Instructional Snowsports Program (JISP) was founded and is run each season to benefit local area school children. The program was started in 1951 by Sally Pabst and Betsy Fowler and has a long history of volunteerism and supporting the local community. Our aim is to make skiing and snowboarding accessible to everyone. Participation in skiing and snowboarding gets your student outside in the winter, provides an opportunity to learn a life-long sport, and learn skills on and off the snow with their peers. Students are dismissed early from school one afternoon per week and instructed to ski and snowboard by volunteers under the direction of the BOC over 8 weeks of lessons. There are great opportunities for parents and friends in the community to earn lift tickets through volunteering, much of which does not require skiing or snowboarding.

Who Can Join?
There are three programs offered for the Junior Instructional Snowsports Program with age as the determining factor. On December 31, 2023, if your student will be age 6 or 7, they will be in the KAP program. If your student will be age 8 or older (through 8th grade), they will be in the JISP program. If your student is age 5, we offer a special program to introduce them to skiing or snowboarding and require parent volunteers to make this group happen. More information will be provided for the Ski & Ride 5 group after registration. The difference between the JISP and KAP programs is that the KAP students are taught by paid Bromley Mountain ski and snowboard instructors and the JISP program is taught by volunteer instructors who are trained and operate within the Bromley Outing Club organization. We are also excited that the Bart Adaptive Center will continue to offer individualized ski and snowboard instruction to students who have a physical or cognitive disability. More information is available on our website for this program along with a registration link.

  • Students may continue skiing or snowboarding after their lesson each week from 3:00-4:00pm. This is not supervised by Bromley Mountain or the Bromley Outing Club and is permitted if parents or guardians allow their student to continue skiing with friends and trusted adults.
  • Additionally, there are nine Sundays throughout the season that your student’s JISP pass will give them lift access at no additional charge. These dates are posted on our website.
