Does anyone here go to 'cuse. If so, or even if you don't, how close is it to skiing, and how close is it to GOOD skiing? Thanks

If you lived in syracuse you'd probably want to ski labrador or toggenburg, both less than an hour away. And the campus has bitchin rails.

Syracuse is about 45 minutes from labrador mtn, nothing special but it will give you your park fix. Killington is about a 4 1/2 hour drive and so is White face. The urban on campus is pretty good but you jsut have to hit that shit at wierd times in order not to get the boot.

syracuse is home to the most erratic weather changes. we dont just coast gradually into winter, or spring, there is like sharp changes, that could be gone the next week, like, in october, a foot of snow one week, then 70 degree temps the next.

cazenovia: 5
skan: 167
