Colleges by good ski mountains

[secondgeneration_skier]

where can i go to a good college and still find good skiing nearby?

 

[secondgeneration_skier]

i'm applying to uvm and st mikes in vt...which is by a few mountains and montana state university by big sky resort, moonlight basin, and bridger bowl...where else?

 

[Adamskinick]

"good" is all relative.

U of Utah is a "good" school, almost any university is. I'm assuming you mean above average on a reasonable level. Amherst and Dartmouth in New England are "good"

 

[secondgeneration_skier]

well when i mean good im pretty much implying anything that doesnt suck...not necessarily as good as dartmouth

 

[rossiscratch04]

u of colorado

 

[Aenigma]

Good choice, the skiing around Bozeman is awesome most of the time. I think the education is pretty good overall as long as you stay away from the parties, you can definitely get a good job coming out of MSU if you do everything right.

[R.Fahey]

[Al_Smith]

[BillyGoteMan]

MgGill idk its prob near some good shit

 

[Billiards.]

How about simon frazier in BC????? I wanna go there in 6 years.

 

[tjski]

Bozeman, MT is not too far from Big Mountain (10th best mountain in freeskier mag) and is pretty close to a mountain called Bridger Bowl-great on pow days

 

[Dilla]

Montana State University

 

[SaraJ]

Western Washington University.

 

[C-Burg]

Fort Lewis, anything in denver, or SLC area

 

[Aenigma]

Define "not too far." I don't know about you, but it takes me at least 5 hours to drive from Bozeman to Big Mountain, and that's on a good day. But there's 3 different ski areas within about an hour of Bozeman, so you really don't have to go that far to ski.

 

[Edward.]

dartmouth, thats where the asian skiers go

 

[R.Fahey]

i tihnk you meant Big Sky. Its like an hour and a half from Big Sky i think, and only like 30-45 mins from Bridger Bowl.

 

[cravenmoorehed]

U of Utah.... hands down

 

[bigsoxfan]

lyndon state college, only place in n.e. with ski resort management as a major, burke is like 10-15 mins and jay is just under an hour

 

[snowbladesforlife]

It is about an hour and 45 minutes to Breck.

 

[shiraz22]

Western Washington University = Mt. Baker, sickest powder in washington

 

[freeridinskier]

MSU

bridger is 15 to 20 min, at least in the summer

big sky is 50 to 60 min " "

Moonlight " "

big sky and moonlight now offer a joint pass which makes big sky, moonlight huge.

Not to mention bc. And Jackson Hole is definitly drivable, 5 hours in the summer.

add that all that great skiing to awesome climbing, biking, fly fishing etc. and how the hell am I going to get through college next year?

Lyndon State sucks balls

 

[MarkieR]

western state is pretty damn easy to get into, by easy i mean sure thing. and it's right by crested butte.

Wasted state.....

Ft. Lewis

lots and lots of schools.

and dont. ever. even. consider. the university of northern colorado.

It is horrible.

 

[Von]

it depends which campus

the frisco (i think) campus

is only 10 minutes from copper, breck,a-basin, and keystone

 

[dirtybryan]

I've applied to UBC and UW.

 

[millhouseskis]

Northern Michigan University across town (4 miles) from Marquette Mountain.

 

[Kevo]

UNC isn't anywhere near a mountain. Oh yeah and it sucks...who the hell would live in Greeley willingly?

On another note CMC is the laughing stock of education in Colorado. Everyone makes fun of CMC. CU Boulder is by far the best public school in Colorado.

 

[Hctiws_iks]

uvm doesnt get any discounts,

definately not from stowe, they have the most expensive pass out of all the close mountains.

but all passes arent too outrageous.

 

[huckster989]

western washington university WWU is terrible for skiing, no one here actually rides and the drive to the mtns takes forever and its always rain you shouldn't come here....
