Collge students: where do you go, and how often do you ski?

Michigan State University.

I ski Cannonsburg but with school and work i never have time to ski. I prolly skied maybe 20 days this season. it sucks
 
This kids an animal though.
U of U and maybe 85 for the year. If it wasnt for minor injuries here and there id maybe have been able to hit 100
 
The Bad:

rainy

full of people straight off the boat from asia that dont speak english

full of stuck up people

lacking in parties because everybody can go to bars

anti-student because they kick almost everybody out of residence after the first year

Campus is huge so you have to walk very far to get anywhere

Expensive food

The Good:

Well ranked

Good skiing

 
UVM

2-4 times a week, I can ski up to 5 days a week but I am a student so...... work needs to be done.

At 49 days so far, kinda slacking alot. Missed 4 or 5 weeks in December / January because of my knee.
 
U of U i can ski any day of the week with night skiing, 5 days a normal skiing and i usually go up 1-4 times a week depending on the week.
 
black hills state U in south dakota!

haha but i got like 40 days without a car and easily could get 80+ if i had one.
 
UC Davis. Ski anywhere in Tahoe, mainly Northstar. Go up once a week, twice if I'm lucky. Next season don't care if I have to bum it in the car alone I'm doing way more two day sessions.
 
went to washington state...studied engineering and would only get like 10 days skiing at schwietzer during the school year. most of my skiiing was back home in CA
 
University of Alaska-anchorage. Studied engineering as well. If you schedule correctly, you can do 4-5 days a week, otherwise 3 for sure.
 
this always annoyed the shit out of me. Some people are gifted and pick up concepts a helluva lot quicker than others. You have to be damn smart to be able to have much free time, in your junior/senior+ years. i have a feeling you are one of those kids. And the worst part is that most of the time they dont realize how much easier it is for them.
 
For the most part, the most difficult concepts (all of the calc, physics, statics/dynamics, fluids) are covered in your first two years of an engineering curriculum. And I studied my ass off, but I always made time for skiing. Dick.
 
ubc,

masters in math, i used to ski 4 times a week till i got hurt.

at ubc it s really easy to get 2 days at whis every week.

 
University of New Hampshire. weekend warrior every weekend due to my heebish class schedule. ive gotten about 20+ days at loon and sunday river, and a week at alta
 
well if you enjoy doing engineering than it shouldnt be too hard, and like someone stated above its only hard in the first courses where they are weeding out all the kids who arent smart enough
 
u of u. at least 3 times a week, sometimes everyday depending on my homework load. park city for night skiing and sunny park days, snowbird anytime it snows. can't beat slc
 
bowdoin college, 1-2 days per week at SR or sugarloaf, 1-2 days night skiing at lost valley... hopefully more next year when i get a car
 
where the fuck did you go to school? The last two years where you take all the electives required soooo much more work, and conceptually were far more difficult than the pre reqs.

The last two years i had a couple semesters where i would literally have like 2 hours of free time per week where i wouldnt be studying, eating, or sleeping at night.

and like i said, the ones who are natuarally better at it, usually dont realize how much easier it is for them.
 
University of Manitoba. 12 hours away from the closest mountain. 12 days a year skiing anything and everything in BC.
 
I went to Cornell. Ever heard of it? I graduated in four years, I never studied once, I was drunk the whole time, and I sang in the a capella group, "Here Comes Treble".

But seriously, UVM. i have skied 4-5 days a week while being a full time student, and i'm graduating a semester early.

 
u of u looks sick, id say there and CU boulder would be the best to colleges to ski at... than again im a dumb highschooler on the internet so what do i know
 
People who ski alot and got to CU live in summit county for the winter or drive 2 hours each way. U of U is 30 minutes away from everything, but some people are down to drive alot.
 
3 days a week at Mt.Hood all year round

Going to Portland State University, great business college and fine arts with a good medical field and engineering.

Mt.Hood on week days is great very little people, but everyone is really chill

good luck with the edumacation
 
Its time management son, I know people who study 10 hours everyday and dont get shit done. Where as I scheduled to have friday-monday off. I have class three days a week, do 5 hours of homework each of those days, normally either ski or study friday, ski saturday do homework 7-10, same deal sunday and then study until 5pm monday and go night skiing. Not that hard just figure it out. First semester I studied everyday, and my grades are better this semester with skiing, I personally need the time outside and I just make good use of my time otherwise.
 
when i was in school, almost all of my 3 credit classes, were MWF so it was sometimes possible to get tues/thurs off but those days were normally spent in my profs office, or in the comp lab working with others to get shit done.

And there are few things more frustrating than spending 2-3 hours on something and getting almost nowhere. Time managment is great and all, but a lot of times just trying to figure out how to do the damn problems takes most of the time, let alone actually working them.

I am not trying to complain about not being as smart as other(im in the 50th percentile from my experience in terms of intelligence), i learned to accept it and try and work with them as much as i could. I just think that when folks like logan make it seem easy to do engineering and ski 3-4 days a week, it is misleading. I can see getting in 2 days a week if you are really busting your ass, but then your social life is totally shot.

I would definitly say that you wouldnt want to do engineering if you planned to ski a bunch in college.
