Clairmont Colleges are all top ranked but super expensive. But the drive to Bear/Mammoth/LA isn't too bad.

I looked into Lewis and Clark College in oregon but again, expensive

Boulder is a good school, but I hear its still distance to the mountains.

If you want something where you can still do skiing, check out http://uscsa.com/

We started a team at our college last year and I know the socal conference competes in skiercross, half pipe, slopestyle, slalom, and GS.

I know they have a list of schools and pretty much every school on there is a good school and close enough to skiing that they have a team.

^CU is about an hour and a half from summit county, but there is great trail riding in the foothills.

surprised im the first to say it, but U of U.
along with the tons of trails and resorts in the wasatch, its also an easy drive to go elsewhere and explore.

in the us or canada?

i would say either UBC if you can chill in vancouver and head up to whistler on weekends/other free time. also that new university in squamish, quest, which is not too far from whistler, if youre interested in some of their courses. although squamish is pretty sketch sometimes...
and i know nothing about universities in the us.

Bozeman is a little less than an hour away from big sky and moonlight basin. but check out bridger, it doesnt have a very good park but its got a lot of sick terrain and it gets a decent amount of snow. the people are real chill too. there are free shuttles to bridger from bozeman as well, but its a half hour drive tops if you drive yourself. I dont mountain bike, but a lot of my frineds there do and they seem to like the trails they ride on. Bozeman itself is a real sick town, the school was a little big for my taste though. check it out!

CU is good for all that. and decent herbals and hot girls and a somewhat decent football team to get drunk to.

Quest university is giving out alot of fullrides and big scholarships right now too becuase its such a new college they need more people.
 i could be wrong on this but i think it might also be a school where you dont need SAT scores to get in.

yeah.... i expected that in maybe the first or second post....but it is definitely a great school for that. Alta and the Bird are about 20-30 minutes from campus, pc is about the same. great skiing and mountain bike trails up all the canyons around here, and the U is a good school too, so definitely check it out.
