Jumpstart

VA at Mount Snow Jumpstart Program

The Jumpstart program at Vermont Academy Mount Snow is a best program for any athlete looking towards competing in middle or high school across all on-snow disciplines. Our jumpstart program focuses on helping athletes reach their full potential by creating customized training plans for each athlete, including individualized feedback and video breakdown, customized strength and conditioning programs, and use of our training facilities less than a mile from the base of Mount Snow and Carinthia Parks. 

Designed to provide the “next step” before moving on to the full-time academy program, Jumpstart athletes will enjoy the distinct advantage of training and competing with our full-time student athletes and being coached by world-class coaches. Regular training occurs every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, along with mid-week holiday periods (Christmas/New Year’s & Presidents’ Day Week).
