The Junior Instructional Snowsports Program (JISP) was started in 1951 to give local school children an inexpensive way to learn to ski. Today the Bromley Outing Club teaches over 600 local students per week to ski and snowboard. The program also offers one-on-one classes for special needs athletes.

Local town coordinators make sure that the students have transportation to Bromley Mountain. If they do not have equipment they can rent equipment for the season for a nominal fee ($70 for the season) from the Bromley Rental Shop.

Classes are divided according to their ability and are taught by volunteer instructors who are trained by the BOC coaching staff.

The BOC offers classes in beginner skiing and snowboarding through racing, freestyle and snowboard competitions for all levels of students.

The cost of this program is $85 for ten days of lessons throughout the season. There are numerous Sunday afternoons that the students can ski or ride at Bromley on their JISP pass and two exchange days at Stratton.
