News flash: you don't have spend 1000s a year to go skiing! If you want to focus on school, do that. If you want to go ski a bunch, do that. No sense compromising the two by doing both. Of course if you want to waste your money on one of the mostly worthless degrees handed out by the U of U that many morons on here use to justify their worthless existence, go for it.

Its called time management dude. I have no problem maintaining a solid gpa at a good uni and skiing 40 days a year
 
IF youre looking at engineering, Colorado School of Mines is a top engineering school in Golden, Co. It's 30 minutes closer to the mountains than CU and DU!

Also a better school. Which is more important

None of you are getting what I am saying. No one is advocating that you turn into a monk and live your life in a cell with nothing but books. I skied quite a bit while I was in school. I never forgot, however, why I was in school - it wasn't to go skiing.

You, or someone else, is going to pay thousands to 10's of thousands of dollars for the oppertunity to go to school. Your primary focus on choosing your school needs to be how it will fit with your academic goals, capabilities, and needs. Skiing really should not be much of a factor in your decision, no more than the football team's current AP ranking. It is four to five years of your life. You will have a lifetime to go skiing. Pick the school that is best for you so you have the luxury of picking a career in a place that has great skiing near by.

Al Gore is a moron, and the snow will still be here when you graduate.

If you really need a snow fix, take a break, move to a ski town, and log 80-120 days of awesome skiing in. When you are ready to refocus on school, go back.

Just the advice of someone looking back, who, has a nice car, a quiver full of new skis, will go skiing midweek and buys his coffee from his HS buddies who got liberal arts degrees or didn't put academics first.

Take it or leave it.

Wow that was cringe worthy...
 
Keene State College in southwestern NH. Sunapee, Killington, Mt Snow, Stratton Mountain, Okemo, Crotched, and there is one 5 miles from campus called Granite Gorge....its a shit hole.

All the others are all under and hour and 45 minutes to get to.

on a good you can get to Sunapee, and snow within 55 minutes
 
WOW thanks for all the input here guys! forgot about this thread till i just saw it on the homepage haha. but from the sounds of it the best option are:

Westminster

U of U

Colorado College

UBC

my major is graphic design with a marketing minor or could end up being vice versa.

surprised no one said Lewis and Clark in oregon
 
I go to PSU too and being just a lowly east coaster, I am in love with Cannon and the skiing up here. Cheers dude, good luck.
 
went to WM, great school dont get me wrong, but I dont think they have the strongest graphic design department compared the to the U. If you do marketing that could be different but I would take a tour and talk to people within the majors at both schools. Westminster is super sick and so is the U. I went to westminnie because the size but people dont realize how small colleges can limit you once you get in upper division classes, which is where bigger schools can really make majors with fewer students stand out because they have the funds to have a larger variety of classes

Simple but accurate as far as those three states go. Obviously there are other good resorts in Cali, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming - I just don't know any schools near those resorts off the top of my head.

Also UBC in Vancouver (Whistler)
