im looking to possibly attend here in the Fall of 09 however for atleast my freshman year i will not have a car.  Will getting out to the resorts be a problem if living on campus?? and is the distance all to bad?  I ski 70 or so days out of the year where i live now at a 10 min drive to my resort.  Will it be possible to get near this much skiing in while still being a full time student?

Bus takes about nintey minutes and car takes about an hour depending on road conditions.  Bridger has a shuttle on the weekends but you can usually hitch hike up pretty easily.

I am in my sophomore year at bozeman; last year I got in about 65-70 days as a full time student; this girl in my math class got about 100 right on the button with like 12 credits a semester, you can get plenty of days, but the mountains are longer than ten minutes away

Where do the majority of the students ski at?  I live on the east coast/work park crew and love skiing and being around in the park however im sure once i move there that these things will change....
