Truckee Meadows CC
Sierra College CC
UNR
Sierra Nevada
these would be the closest. Both Community Colleges are good schools, I hear. I did not go to school here, though.

There also plenty more colleges in Northern California, towards SF/Sacramento.

davis is technically within two hours -- it took me an hour and a half to get from davis to boreal the other day -- but generally on the drive up you'll hit traffic and it'll take you two hours or so to get to b-real.

it's a good school, though.

Not quite. though you'll probobly be getting so ripped for the carride that it'll seem like 20 minutes.

I drive to Tahoe every weekend from Davis, it usually takes me an hour 45 min to get to Tahoe City.

As far as SoCal goes, USC, CSULongBeach and UCSanDiego all get places in Mammoth for the season, so even though it is a 4-7 hour drive depending on the school you can get a lot of riding in.

I go to USC and have already got 37 days in at Mammoth this season.

Ditto. I'd go with UC Davis, or Berkeley maybe for skiing close to bigger resorts in northern Cali.
