because school is starting soon, i was just wondering what do you guys do for school? do most of you do public school, online school, ski schools? im considering online so i was wondering how you guys manage school and skiing? not like just weekend skiing but weekdays to and traveling for comps.

as far as college goes. id say utah is probably one of the best places to go. mountains are real close. close enough to have class in the mornings and then ski a half day at any of the 8 area resorts. (PC, alta, brighton, snowbird, canyons, etc.)

If you want to ski alot, at normal school you can still get plenty of skiing done. If you want even more, I wouldn't suggest online school because if you want to do any post-secondary it doesn't look too good. See if there is a good independent studies school in your area. Theres one in calgary called Bishop Carroll and basically how it works is you do school in packages at your own pace and check in once a week, then you do whatever you want the rest of the time. You can do all your school in the summer, and then ski in the winter, or finish school in a month if you can put in the effort. Thats what I want to do with a friend of mine next year, so I can ski alot and get the rest of the time off. Look into it, but make sure you have a few people on board with you to do it if you aren't doing a ski academy or whatever. It would suck if you were just going out skiing by yourself with no-one else. My mom finished high school early and said it was terrible because all her friends were still in school and she had nothing to do.

I basically decided my education was more important than skiing so i stayed in atlanta for college. Basically go for free and get a really good education. Im sacrificing a lot of good skiing(even though last year, I skied the most I ever had) but I will make up for it with a year off ski bumming.

I know someone who did online, but that was only for a little while. I would suggest against it because it really doesn't look good for post-secondary.

However, if you're not intending to go to post-secondary anyways because you have some amazing plan in action already for after school, then feel free to do it.

I still think the best option is for you to do an independent studies school where you can work at your own pace. Only do that if you know for a fact that you can be extremely focused and get everything done, or you'll be finishing school in august, which is not fun.

i go to a public middle school and ski 4-5 days a week. get out early a lot and skip for a lot of days. i wish i didn't have to go at all and i could just ski but i wouldn't be very intelligent.

i go to a private highschool in ct, and i get to ski a ton in the winter.  i work as an instructor so i can have an excuse to go to the mountain every day after school.  im currently a senior, and im considering going a year at a skiing boarding school in vermont before i start college.  i really havent decided anything solid yet, but all i know is that whatever i do, i want it to involve skiing in some way.

Dude, I know how you feel. I hate my school, but I don't think I'll get to leave. I'm trying to go to an independent studies school type thing, but I don't know if it will happen... I really don't like the kids at my school though. This is a seriously shitty situation to be in, and I envy you.

going to be a junior at public school...

i go skiing about 2-3 days after school on weekdays, and both days on weekends. then if we get snow i just straight skip school. my parents don't mind as long as my grades stay up.

although i did get fined $85 last year when we got a midday DUMPING (for the east coast) my buddy texted me and asked me if i wanted to ski. i got up out of class and said "mr watkins, i'm fucking going skiing" and just walked out of school. apparently you aren't allowed to do that hahaha.
