CMC cult

whats cmc

Colorado Mountain College?

yep^

fuck CMC steamboat...what a waste of money and time.

I might go to cmc. not the steamboat one though

what useful degrees can you get through CMC? ski management? who wants to do that their whole life? sure at age 18 that sounds awesome....what about when your kid wants to goto yale?

i attended that school and i thought it was the biggest joke. the kids there don't even need to try for good grades. you pay money to have some shitty AA degree. the college expirience doesn't exist because there are like 100-200 kids.

I'm at boulder now, in the summer....and it blows every moment of the past 3 years of "college" life at cmc in steamboat and breckenridge. Imagine what the fall will be like. and i'll still be getting 100 days.

shiit i was gonna go to the cmc in breck. so youre sayin its a waste of time? where else would you suggest college in the mountains?

to be honest i don't recommend college in the mountains because you won't expirience the true college atmosphere. if you're gonna ski bum it do it right, ski & work or not at the night. Or go to a legit college in the fall, take the spring off for skiing (opens you to various mountains), then goto school in the summer.

If you don't mind driving up to the mountains during the week, cu boulder is a great school. cu has lots of skiers here and some sweet diving boards to practice your tricks on.

this is just my opinion. a lot of people are perfectly content with wasting (i can't emphasize this enough) their parents money and receiving the AA. many people i knew did it (took a single class a semister there). anyway, i would goto an awesome college enjoy it, then take a couple years off and ski bum. everyone i've met who did that was very satisfied and always had the option to starting real life or be a kid and have fun for a while after turning 21+.

you'll learn you don't wanna grow up as fast as you thought you did as a high schooler. i remember thinking 21 was so old. now im 21 and starting college and thinking about pacing it out and enjoying the ride. plenty of fun people and events going on to just up and start working a 9-5.

oh yeah i forgot to mention. many of the kids you'll meet in ski towns are very, very dumb. i can't stress that enough. it's like talking to brick walls. ski talk just never ever ends, which wouldn't be bad if filtered by something, anything! it was a very repeatitive and boring lifestyle after the first couple of months. the parties were all the same people doing the same thing. the girls were very...disappointing. a girl who would be a 5 on a normal person's chart acted like an 11 and she'd still be accepted as 'cool' because no one wanted to jerk off another night. i would import girls and was very satisfied with that. god only knows who hadn't banged the ski town girls. it was sad when a guy locked them down thinking he was the only one fucking her. i can't stress enough how many times i could've banged terrible girls.

there is a reason why living in a ski town is a stage in your life and not your life in it's entirety. when you meet the people that haven't ended their ski bum lives (35+), you'll notice that they are very ackward and it's like they haven't really socialized in a long time. they all tend to be doing something as well. they are always talking about the next biking challege or crazy hiking trip or mountaineering exploration. none of them think of alpine skiing as skiing (it's for the novice, real mountain people tele).

As you can see I have a very strong opinion about this and left the mountains, unlike anyone I knew up there, for these reasons. I felt more dumb everyday i lived up there, I always praised my mind for acknowledging the dumbness, many people are numb to it. the most enjoyable people I met were the kids that had graduated college and were taking a couple years to relax. conversation was fun, it wasn't about who was the best mountaineer, and they knew how to have "real" fun, not 5 girls and 30 dudes standing at a house feeling cool dressed in gangster clothes. Sorry to the breck homies, you guys are fun as hell to ride with, but that's the opinions i formed rather quickly.

besides cmc at steamaboat is impossible to get into they accepted 100% of their applicants last year... and thats not a lie

^^^^true

tell it like it is. damn... I have to cut and paste that somewhere.

haha yeah all these are true.. if i could get an invite that'd be sweet.. i live in steamboat

Hey BitchAss, when did you graduate?

on the CMC Steamboat note, I spent a few years there and loved every minute of it. Bitchass is completely correct about the girls (it's sad) and the dumbass kids (seriously) and a lot of kids waste their time and parents money. Having to pay for college myself definately made me appreciate the education I was getting and got more out of CMC than anyone else I know.

You don't go to CMC Steamboat to get the college experience, you go to live in a ski town and ski/ride everyday. It's pretty cool when the teachers cancel class because of a powder day. That and having a ski tuning lab on campus for Ski business students isn't to bad either, always having fine tuned gear rocks.

I went there to get into the ski industry and it worked, I don't feel that I wasted my time there at all.

Steamboats Park is Mediocre at best, the Pow is by far the lightest I've ever skied. The Vibe of the town is awesome, much more to my liking than Vail, Aspen, etc... Kind of similar to Tahoe in some ways.

Just my thoughts, Let me in the cult!

the room at our middle school for the kids who were cognitivley disabled was called the CMC, no joke.
