umass doesnt have much of a ski culture. but its such a big school that you will still meet lots of people, and there are lots of parties. and you can meet lots of shredders at the mountain that are from around there

umass is like an hour from mt snow probably less if you drive fast, which really isn't bad at all. you've also got stratton, or anything else up on 91 that you want to hit.plus  handrails at umass and amherst college . i'd say that would be a pretty good college for skiing on the east coast, you could defintely hit mt snow all year long

I figured I'd revive this thread instead of starting a new one.. but who's going to umass this year? I'm going to be a freshman, living in Sylvan (McNamara to be exact).

Heyyy Guyss

I'm actually a Senior at UMass + ALSO a rep for Mount Snow.

Mount Snow has once again teamed up with Crotched Mountain (NH) and Attitash (NH) for the Higher Education Pass for the upcoming '08-'09 ski season!

For Grads + Undergrads, you can get a taste of the good life that this pass has to offer for only $295! (w/ NO black-out dates!)

The Catch -- it's gotta be bought BEFORE November 1st.

... Not to mention, this past Spring, for those of you that don't know, Mount Snow dedicated and transformed the ENTIRE Corinthia area into one large ass park, making it the largest on the East Coast!

** However ... DON'T WAIT! After November 1st, the price of the pass goes up $100!**

If you are interested or have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message or e-mail at: snasznic@student.umass.edu

think snow!
