Take classes in the summer or try to setup your schedule with some early or late classes, even days with no class at all if you can swing it. Talk to your advisor to, if they are cool they might help you out with the scheduling.
 
Take an extra class or 2 fall semester, you won't be skiing much before winter break. Then take a class or 2 less in spring and only have Tuesday/Thursday classes.
 
Going to a school that will let you easily ski by having a place to ski nearby and a major that doesn’t require all your time.
 
Try to have most of all of your classes on the same days so you get some days unstructured. Depending on how your local hill operates, working there can be super helpful. I taught skiing at my local Michigan hill through college. Got a free pass, could pick my own work hours, and could justify going to the hill a ton more because it was my “job.” Made way more money than working in the dining hall and had way more fun and became a way better skier because of it. Some lifelong friends too.
