About The Race Program

Race and Freeski Program registration will open in late August 2026 for winter 2026/27

The Bromley Outing Club alpine race program is home to over 100 athletes each season who train and race at Bromley, southern Vermont, and even around the world. The BOC teams are coached by an incredible staff of U.S. Ski and Snowboard coaches, from age six through collegiate athletes. The Bromley Outing Club is proud to be a U.S. Ski and Snowboard Bronze Certified Podium Club.

Our coaches follow skiing and racing progression tailored to our club athletes here at Bromley, with a HUGE focus on FUN! The BOC is a member of the Vermont Alpine Racing Association (VARA), in the Southern Vermont Council (SVC). We host fun-focused introductory races for our own club members in the youngest groups (U8 & U10), as well as sanctioned races for our teams, inviting the Southern Vermont Council clubs to participate.

Our race programs operate for regular training on weekends from early December until late March each season. We also host two, one week training blocks (late December and mid-February) which are included in our regular program fees. We also look to host and/or connect our members with additional training opportunities such as camps, regional projects, and additional coaching experiences.

Daily Program Schedule:

• 8:30 – Athletes meet coaches out front of BOC
• 8:30 – 11/11:30 – Program Time can include, but not limited to: gate training, free skiing, drills, video analysis, tuning (weather dependent)
• 11/11:30 – 12/12:30 – Lunch
• 12/12:30 – 2/2:30 – Program Time (see above)
• 2/2:30 – End of program time

The Bromley Outing Club takes great pride in its dedicated and skilled coaching staff.  It has been the goal of the BOC to assemble the most talented team in Southern Vermont and beyond.

Members of our coaching staff have some impressive professional backgrounds – from Olympic caliber participation and coaching to leadership in the industry.  They are all amazing role models and mentors to our program participants.   Athlete training sessions will be great educational and inspirational experiences for our young athletes. Our programs are skill development based and our mission is to instill a genuine appreciation of winter alpine sports that benefits our participants their whole life.

Coaches are generally available after practice to answer questions and may schedule periodic meetings with parents to review program content. Please refer any major comments or complaints to the Program Director. 

To facilitate communication between the BOC administration and the parents, the Club is open Tuesday – Friday 9:00am – 4:30pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00-4:30.

JISP and KAP

JISP and KAP registration will open in September 2026 for the 2026/27 season

Program details

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 two programs offered for the Junior Instructional Ski Program.  JISP is for your students who are in 3rd thru 8th grade, and KAP is for your K-2nd grade students in participating schools. The difference between the two 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 Vermont Adaptive Sports will continue to offer individualized ski and snowboard instruction to students who have a physical or cognitive disability. More information is available HERE.

The program runs Tuesday thru Friday – your student’s weekly attendance day is dependent upon their school’s calendar. Lessons happen from 1:00-3:00pm (12:00pm-2:00m on Tuesday and Thursday). Students in JISP and KAP may not skip their lessons or use their pass to access the lift without their instructor until lessons are complete. Bromley does offer a local school discounted season pass for JISP schools, and parents are welcome to arrange for their students to go skiing or snowboarding, unsupervised and separate from the JISP program.

The JISP 2025/26 program begins on Tuesday January 6, 2026, with the last day of the program on Friday March 13, 2026. The program does not operate for two weeks in February. There is no JISP or KAP instruction the week of 2/15-2/21 and 2/22-2/28 in 2026.

Students may continue skiing or snowboarding after their lesson each week until the mountain closes at 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 have been 10 Sundays throughout the season that your student’s JISP pass will give them lift access at no additional charge, beginning at 11:30am. This season, Bromley has added at least an additional 3 Sunday dates to the JISP Sunday program! We will have the same holidays where access is not given with a JISP pass, and Sundays will extend through the end of the ski season in 2026!

Program pricing for 2025/26 is $150 for the JISP program and $250 for the KAP program. Financial aid is available, and scholarship applications must be completed using this registration site. The deadline for scholarship applications is November 1.

Seasonal ski and snowboard rentals are available at a reduced rate for the program.
