im gonna be a sophmore. its a super fun school, but coming from the PNW, the terrain and amt of pow is really lacking int he front range. crested butte is a different story... but the parks are insane. just find peopel who love riding as much as you do, and get days off during the week. it is a really good school, and you can ski alot despite the drive, which is only bad certain days. shit, i have 95 days riding and a 3.6 gpa with class only three days, cant get much better
