Sugarbush, VT – Certified Annual Exam 2024

2024 NSP Eastern Division Certified Annual Examination

Sugarbush Ski Resort is pleased to host the Eastern Division’s Certified Programs annual exam. The NSP Certified exam will test the six core components over three days. The annual meeting will be held on Sunday morning. Limited COVID-19 protocols will be in place. It is highly recommended to be vaccinated with a booster shot.  Sanitizing all equipment and social distancing may be asked of you; please be cognizant of other people’s needs and risk levels.

Due to the challenges of increased participation, the annual exam will have some components examined early in the event to maintain opportunities for all. All existing Certified members are asked to attend and participate in the examination. Please, civilian jackets only – No crosses.

Lodging and Registration 

Lodging will all be done via web-based form to telephone directly to Sugarbush Resort. Please review all price packages.   VRBO options are available individually – please make your reservation independently and watch the schedule.
