no it is still just an excuse to go skiing in steamboat. you could maybe actually do something going to school at CMC if you had a good work ethic and drive, but almost everyone is there just to ski. i would have to say most don't make it past a year.
I graduated from CMC - Alpine(steamboat) and it was great. I was able to ski over 100 days a year and still get a good education. If you are intrested in going to school and still being able to ski every day it is a great option.
I jsut put in a app for Ski Business hopefully for fall 05, but I'm not looking to live in housing, anyone have any ideas where to look for apartments or off campus housing?
Not many Apartments, but you might have good luck finding a room in a house or a condo. Check out the paper. http://steamboatpilot.com/ You could also come to town over the summer and camp or some thing like that so that you can make some connections that may pan out to a place to live. Good luck, enjoy.
