When you get out to Boulder, go to Jibij, that's where all the cool ski kids hang out

from breck and keystone you'd be looking at around 2 hours tops.. the smart thing to do is go up late friday night like after 10PM and crash at a friends place or sleep in your car , then you beat all the assholes on 70 on saturday morning and you also get 1st tracks on powder days

^^^hahaha your avatar is fucking horrible/amazing

and yah, CSU isnt far from the mountains, its just the furthest of all the schools.. but by no means too far for weekend trips.. just get some fucking friends/red bull/cd's and you're set. end of story.

school of mines kinda sucks, major sausagefest, intense classes 24/7, these equate to fits of depression, especially the major lack of females.

you really want to do the same thing as your dad? i was admitted there as well, if you're doing it for money, then petroleum engineering gives the highest avereagestarting salary, like $80,000 a year. Mining was 65,000, and mechanical was 58,000, but mechanical is what you need to design skis and chairlifts and most other ski related things that would require an engineer.

It doesnt suck, especialy not compared to where i live (grand junction). but CSU has a good amount of hicks and i would rather go to school in boulder, denver, or durango.

there are a ton more rednecks now coming down from wyoming i guess....we live next to the biggest family of grits on the planet...they run an illegal towing business out of their house and have 6 kids...the parents got the kids to slash our tires and shit just for parking on the road in front of their house they rent. We are getting these fuckers evicted! I hope they go back to wherever they came from.

there are a lot of hicks, becuase CSU has a large agriculture and vetrinary school

the vet school wouldn't neccessarily attract hicks, but the ag school draws them like flies to shit.
