So I'm aboutta go to college to ski, It's really a toss up between four places. U of Utah, UBC, Montana State, or Colorado College. Whats the best one in your opinion?

You can go to college to ski these days? Do yourself a favor and go ski, then go to college some other time. If you must go however, MSU (the lack of any attractive women in Bozeman means you can focus totally on skiing and recreational drug use).

Search bar yo.
there are some good schools in Quebec. But utah is pretty good its super easy to get into from what I have heard but SO is Champlain college in vt. middleburry is hard to get into and university of Vermont is meh. cant go wrong with either. if u go to chaplain/Vermont it only takes half an hour to get to Bolton for night skiing and takes 1 and half to get to Stowe.
FYI Burlington is a super chill town. I really like going skiing in the spring and then going long boarding by the lake when i get back.

LSU, Alabama, Auburn, or Nebraska are the best and closest colleges to ski resorts

The best state school in your state. Unless you're loaded or you have some way to cover the costs of out of state. It's about double FYI.

Quest sucks. You pay 5 times as much as UBC and end up with a degree of less international standing than a UBC degree.

CMC Breckenridge is THE BEST COLLEGE FOR SKIING. 90% of the classes start at 4pm or 7pm because everyone is there to ski or snowboard. There are also tons of online options for spring semester.

I just wanted to add, yea we all love skiing and going to a good school near mountains would be ideal, but don't piss away $40K+ on a degree from shitschoolusa that will get you no where after you graduate. Out of state tuition is also stupidlyyyyyyy expensive.

That's my two cents, but you be you boo.

My older brother goes to UC Boulder and says its doooppppeee. He says there are a ton of chill people all just down to ski hard and burn herb. And I know from personal experience that Keystone's park is probably the best park in the world and all the other parks in Colorado are really good too

Would've gone MSU if I got my hands on their big $ scholarship for exactly these reasons. MSU all day any day.

Wait, why the fuck did you pick a bunch of state colleges and then throw in UBC and CC? If you can get into or afford those, do it.


Are you trying to go to college for an excuse to ski or are you trying to go to college and ski as motivation for doing well in college?
