Snowpro Academy
The Snowpro Academy is Sugarbush’s premier program for young skiers and riders ready to take their mountain experience to the next level: as leaders, instructors and role models.

Over the course of the season, participants enhance their personal skiing or riding across all terrain while learning how to break down movement, give feedback and coach others. Along the way, they develop communication skills, leadership confidence and a deeper understanding of the mountain environment, all in a supportive, hands-on setting.
Led by certified pros and seasoned instructors, the Academy emphasizes both technical mastery and mentorship. It’s perfect for teens who want to become ski or snowboard instructors in the future or just love the idea of giving back to the sport that shaped them. Participants must be confident, advanced all-mountain skiers or riders. Program tuition includes certification prep, coaching, and leadership development.
