Im joe and I'm a senior in high school and just started applying to colleges. My average is a 93 and i got a 1510 on my SAT and a 22 on my ACT. I live in New York and I skiing is my life. Im trying to find colleges that are close to ski mountains and have a good vibe. So far I've applied to Castelton VT, Plattsburgh NY, UNH NH, and Plymouth NH. Any advice would be very helpful.

UVM was the only place I applied to so I can't really speak about anything else.

It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a good time usually. I've met a lot of great people here over the years. Pretty much everybody does some form of sliding on snow strapped to something, and if they don't then they probably live in a hole.

Shit's expensive as fuck for out of staters. UVM was the only other school (other than the one I'm at now) that I applied to. I got in, peeped the offer letter and was like LOLnah.

UU is dope, SLC rocks. My friends there seem to be having a freaking awesome time shredding Utah pow.

I wanted to go to Colorado School of Mines but its so much cheaper here, Reno would be cool to get away from but there more I looked at it, the cooler it seems now

You're good dude. Apply there. Burlington is a cool town. Not that any college town is completely boring, but burlington is a fun place.

I would almost say that Stowe gets as much snow as and has as gnarly terrain as half of the mountains on the i70 corridor, with a third of the drive. It's 1.5 to 2 hours from Denver or Fort Collins to get to any decent skiing.

That being said, MSU would be a good choice, as would U of Utah.
