I have a friend at sierra nevada. Also look at U Nevada Reno. beyond that, I know people at UC Boulder and U Montana Boseman that ski a lot. There are a lot of other colleges out there as well.

sierra nevada is a joke of a school - if you actually want an education, don't go there
do you prefer park or powder?

western state college in Gunnison, CO....its thirty minutes from Crested Butte, the school is way chill, theres endless backcountry potential, and theres way more to do than just ski....

Theres a good section in the latest transworld snowboarding on this matter. I'm in the same situation as you and I'm looking at either Boulder or Reno or even University of BC.



and more, much more than this, I did it my way

the best choice is no education, but this is the real world

just out of curiosity, if you grew up in boulder, why'd you leave to go to UPS? i'd think boulder would be way better than tacoma

Being out there skiing every day, good or bad, just playing around with friends, with no contests or filming- that is the real spirit of skiing for me. that is why i started skiing, and if i lose those moments that is what will make me stop skiing.

why is everyone stoked on boulder? anybody that says boulder obviously has never been to boulder itself....its just like what was said up above, its AT LEAST an hour and a half to any decent skiing....Eldora sucks, and Loveland is only really good on a powder day. Theres a lot better choices than CU.

dude go to utah. best snow in the west. sick bigmountain skiing and sick park skiing. also there is so much to do. tons of camping, hiking, biking, really anything outdoors. also you can travel easily. the airport is 10 minutes from campus snowbird is 22 miles, pc is 30. at the most it takes 40 minutes to be skiing after class. also tons of kids come to utah to ski or ride, and the dorms are the dopest in the country. well they are better than CU at least. rent is SO MUCH CHEAPER THAN BOULDER TOO. i couldn't believe what people were paying there.

basicly, if you want to go to a school where school and partying are you #1 priorities then go to boulder, it will save more snow for us. if you want to have a truely unique college experience go to utah. also it isn't as hard as CU. it is good and can be hard at utah if you want, or you can just breeze through like i did take 5 years and ski, travel, party, camp, and actualy enjoy college. trust me once you are out you will want to go back.


T GOT SCREWED IN PIPE!!

Ninthward skis are sick.

stay out of utah it sucks here
i like ........ i like a lot of stuff
