Colorado Mountain College: Leadville, Steamboat, Vail, Silverthorne, Breckenridge, Rifle...(etc)

There are so many. I go to the one in Leadville, CO. Majors are Ski area operations, ski area managment, business, outdoor recreational leadership.

It's so sick, we get to drive bulldozers and take yoga for credit. This semester I go to school 2 days a week and work at Vail full time as a park ranger. It's only $8,000 a year I think. My classes this semester (I'm in Ski area operations) are:

Terrain park operations Lab

Trail grooming operations Lab

Ski Patrol Lab

Snowmaking Lab

Yoga

Public Speaking

Last semester:

Math

English

Heavy Equipment operations Lab

Intro to ski area operations

Outdoor emergency care

(Lab means you're outside!)

I would seriously consider going to this school. If your not interested in Ski area ops, then take business. i ski full time, and we just set up our backyard terrain park, 30 yards from the dorms (down flat down box, flat bar, down rail, etc)

Some cons: only about 300 people go to the school, 100 live in the dorms. The female to male ratio is 1:6, and its in the middle of nowhere. So if you like small schools, with not too much going on around the school, this is your place....

It's a huge drug school though, on any given night 10% of the kids are tripping...lots of weed...the RAs smoke with you, and they're super cool!

It's 20 minutes from Copper, 45 from Vail, Breck and Keystone.

To bad that when your done with your 2 year degree you will

A. have to go find another school to get you bachelors

B. or have a usless associates degree
 
its not about eduacation, its about skiing everyday and doing something you love...whats happened to the world, all anyone cares about nowadays is money and how far you can get in life. what ever happened to doing what you want to do because you love it?
 
dont you wanna get far in life and make alot of money? You can love what you do and still get far in life ya know.
 
Um... no, braette. It's about getting an education to fall back on in case something happens in where you cannot ski anymore. You can still ski everyday in regular college, but you just have to work harder for it.
 
is this a joke? Mcgill and queens for one. At Mcgill we also have urinals in them,right next to the co ed showers wil no doors and flimsy curtains.
