I love skiing, but i am looking at ivy league schools, middlebury and williams. My sister went to dartmouth and didnt really have a problem with not being able to ski. She got around to it pretty well. Oh yea and dietcoke, if you manage to get into princeton, its a good 3.5 hours from windham. I live in northern NJ and its 2 hours from my house.

Damnit. On the map it looks short, but yea, guess not. Owell I prolly won't get in anyway. Its the #1 school in the country and the hardest to get into.

Amherst college is sooooo hard to get into I bet 90% of kids on this site including me couldnt get in it accepts like .7% of all applicants. I live in Amherst and skate at there ice rink everyone in our town hates Amherst they are all up tight rich kids. its funny they are soooo expensive and amherst the town is in the top 5 per capita pot towns in the us its a small town but id say 95% of kids in my HS smoke pot! its currzzy!

I'm in the same position as you. I seriously considering university of nevada, Reno cause its about an hour or less to all the sick tahoe resorts and you get to live in Reno. Of course if I'm too fucking dumb to get in there, theres always South Lake tahoe community college



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

Dartmouth has a small mountain, Dartmouth Skiway, pretty close by. Then most southern VT mountains are less than an hour and half away.

of course east coast skiing wont compare to west coast skiing, but killington, sugarbush, and some NH mountains ive never been to are around there. The dartmouth skiway is pretty crappy. But probalby 90% of the people at dartmouth ski, so you wont have trouble finding people to ski with. Its defintiely a really nice school with good skiing not too far away

Unless you are a PERFECT student i strongly doubt that you will get into dartmoth, last i checked there acceptance rate was like 16%. My friend made it in but he is extremely smart and did amazingly well on his SAT.

I go to Mines. Do not come here to ski. IT aint a ski or party school. Its is a work you ass off, no girls kinda school. I'm here cause I know that it will be worth it for me, but to most it wouldn't be.

Montana State:
Bridger Bowl 16 miles (400 inches annually)....dean cummings grew up skiing here

Big Sky: 39 miles (400-450)

Jackson Hole: 3 Hours

Grand Targhee: 2.5 hrs (500+ inches)

Utah resorts: 6 hrs

Montana State is only 18,000 for out of state tuition and is as easy to get into as a community college...it is the place for a college kid who only wants to ski.

Sierra College in Truckee is in Truckee. As is Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Northstar, 20 minutes from Sugar Bowl. Enough said.

Ohio State does have close to 60,000. It is huge, but it also has 3 or 4 branches. Still, I think anything over 15,000 students is pretty big as long as it is not a commuter school. I have visited both CU and MSU. MSU is really close to Bridger, morning classes, afternoon turns.

why is everyone bitching this kid? just because ns skiers are supposed to be macked out with a piece and some kevlar, it doesnt mean that some smart or rich kids ski this shit. its not about background, or stereotypes. yanks need to learn that. give him props for getting to a sweet universitsy because that = more money than you will get.

Yeah, because you know I am really worried about picking a school that is close to a punk/screamo venue too. Maybe you should pick a school that is, I dunno, good?

Skiing is a somewhat legit factor...but dude...screamo?

We'll have you dead pretty soon.

Cross the University of Oregon off your list. I'm 40 minutes away from Willamette Pass (Tiny as fuck but they've got two terrain parks)...and roughly 2.5 hours from Mt. Bachelor (bad ass mountain). But ya know, now that I think about it I can do some halway descent fucking skiing here. Nevermind, this place is descent. Now it just needs to fucking snow.




I'll tell you where...someplace warm...a place where the beer flows like wine...where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of capastrano...I'm talkin' about a little place called Asssspennnnn...

Any College in Utah is the way to go. The U is just over a half hour drive to Brighton, Snowbird, Alta, Solitude, Park City. The party scene is ok. The music scene is off the hook. For example- Sparta last week, Del The.... the week before, Lots of cool little venues that get good acts on the way to Cali and Vegas. We were hiking Alta in late September. Need I say more.
