for some reason i felt like that bigspence dude was way older than that. i either thought he was one of the on3p guys, or i was thrown off by the bob saget icon.

The closest place is Bluewood, it's about an hour drive from Walla Walla.  We got season passes to Schweitzer this year and it's a little over a 4 hour drive down there.  Stevens, Mission Ridge, White Pass, and Hood are also all about 4 hour drives away.  Bluewood isn't really great past fun tree skiing and local pow, but you can find good skiing if you make the effort.  We definitely are making an effort this year to ski Schweitzer and Hood in the spring.

Bump.
I'm really torn between Whitman and Colby for next year. Academics are very similar, with strong French and Environmental departments. However, skiing and surfing are way closer in Maine rather than Walla Walla. So, just how mediocre is bluewood, is schweitzer the second-best alternative, how far to BC, and is there any good backcountry in the selkirks or some other range? I understand the fly fishing and whitewater kayaking is quite good there too

Come to Colby. That's where I'm going next year.

Colby has a really nice campus, with good skiing, and good surfing easily within reach. I see you're from Concord, so it's far enough away to be far, yet still really easy to get to.

However, if you want to get the hell out of New England, you should go to Whitman. It's all about what location you want i guess.
