Is it worth it to leave Utah and go to UVM or St. Michael's next year? I got into both schools... but I can't decide if I should really leave all the fresh powder and the resorts twenty minutes away. Skiing is definitely a huge part of my decisionnnn

You didn't apply to any good ski schools out west?  I mean, You can be guarranteed less snow and denser snow when it does come in the east.  So adjust your expectations.  But if you're there full time, you won't miss a storm and when VT is on, its on.  Also, there's a big ski communtiy at both schools and some of the terrain in N. VT is amazing.  SO I think you should do it.  COme to the east to ski with an open mind for variety and you won't be disappointed.

its really fun here but shittt i definitely couldnt tell you moving here from utah would be the best idea, although the social atmosphere might be better in burlington, skiing out west is just a whole different story

also keep in mind that uvm, although an ok school, is having huge salary and budget cuts
so maybe that's not the best shool to be a freshman at

Hmm well I'm from right outside of Burlington and my twin brother currently goes to UVM and he likes it there and its a sick school, but Vermont skiing is nowhere near the skiing out here in Utah. If you love skiing stay out here, I'm glad I came to the U and won't go back to ski, infact I didn't even bring my skis back for a month during christmas break because it's just so shitty even skiing at Stowe and Jay....

yeah it depends on what youre going for.... like UVM has a great environmental program if youre interested in that.... but its also supposed to rain for the next 7 days and has already been raining for many.
