cu is the best university in colorado. why wouldn't you want to go there? the only other division one college is colorado state and it is an extra hour to get to the mountains from their, besides the fact that it isn't as fun or good of a school as cu.

In colorado there is Colorado College (expensive not recomended) CSU and CU (which are easy to find info on) Rocky Mountain colleges (on the mountains but not the greatest reputation). Western State is in Grand Junction and is a party scoolh. UNC in Greelley is ok a couple of my friends are there. I'm goin to Colorado School of Mines, which is an hour away from summit county. It is the toughest , hardest schoolk in colorado and a sauage factory. Yeah it blows but I wanna go to the best.

Univeristy of Utah is the best by far! Park City for killer park, Alta and Snowbird for everything else! And 500' of annual snow! And there all less than an hour away! Awesome dorms cuz they were made for the Olympics and everybody skis or boards, and most are incredibly good! Come here! NOW!

U of Colorado at Boulder is your best bet in terms of a balance between a good education and ski accessibility. School of Mines is a a really good school for a certain majors. Wasted (Western) State is just that.

Yea my neighbor goes to UCol at Boulder, its a big party school so I've heard. Another friend of mine goes to UU at Salt Lake and skis Alta and Snowbird a hell of a lot. I am not sure how they are on the education side, but fromt he skiing standpoint you can't go wrong.

it takes an hour and a half from davis to donner summit if you average about 70. It's about 2 hours to make it to the actual lake. UCD is a better school than any mentioned here, but expensive as hell for out of staters, just like CU. definitely worth a look if you can get in and can afford it

Look at the historical records of CO snowfall... Its been getting worse and worse. A couple years ago was the worst drought that CO has had in 50 something years.

How much snow does YOUR college town ski hill have? Mt. Baker bitch, eat a dick.

BAKER HAS THE WORLD RECORD FOR SNOWFALL. 1141 INCHES IN ONE FUCKING SEASON. THE SNOW LINING THE ROADS WAS 30FT HIGH - DUMP TRUCKS HAD TO DRIVE UP TO THE MOUTAIN AND BRING SNOW DOWN BECAUSE THE BLOWERS COULDN'T BLOW IT OVER 30 FT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO SNOW A FOOT AND A HALF EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH? but thats okay, i'd rather go ski in colorado.

the debate between CU and CSU will always rage on. CU is closer, and people who don't know better say ''CU is the biggest party school'' simply because someone wrote it in a magazine. (obviously the largest school in the state will have the most parties, but i've had more fun at CSU parties than any CU party i've been to) Boulder people are pretty fucking stupid though, and ft collins is a lot more laid back.....CU does have that advantage of being closer to the main resorts, but ft collins is only an hour away from cameron pass, which provides ample BC riding.

either way, if you're out of state you're going to get a rod slammed up your ass for tuition, and said rod will be wrapped in sandpaper if you go to CU.

i'd still recommend CU just from a skiing standpoint though, especially if you only ski in bounds most of the time

trust me Utah is the place to go. don't worrie about partying cause if you go to school in utah to ski you will meet tons of other people who did as well and you can party with them. pot is easy to find if that is your thing. and it is always dank. the school has a good business program as well as engeniering, english, and film. it isn't as good of a school as boulder, but it is so much cheaper. the dorms are tight and the ladies are so fine. Pc is only 40 minutes away. snowbird is 22 miles from campus. the good resorts are over an hour from CU boulder. there are tons of urban rails in salt lake city and the city isn't too big, but it is big enough. also pc's park is sick enough to draw mad pros in the likes of cr, mickel, tanner, pep, turpin, the list goes on.

go to utah.
check it.

hmmmm, thats funny to me. Where are two of the biggest ski comps held? OH SHIT, in the snowless Colorado. More importantly, I want my snow on the hills, not 30ft high next to me when I am driving.

The mormon excuse is just bullshit. There is a much bigger party scene and music scene there, its not super conservative liek you would imagine.

Ski Wasted State and earn a degree in your spare time. Actually consider CMC for a year until you qualify for instate tuition. Breck, Steamboat,Aspen, Vail, etc.
The problem with UT or MT is at the end of the day

Everyone out of state needs to chill about the whole Utah/Mormon thing. If you've only been for vacation or whatever, dont talk about what the state is like. Come live here for a year. Great parties everywhere, dank weed for good prices, alcohol kinda sucks, but thats what Wyoming is for. Skiing is better and closer than any CO school, and the chicks are hotter.

plus the more people who aren't from Utah who move to Utah means more people who aren't from Utah and that means less mormans per capita ie it is getting a lot better every year here.

Western State is the place to be if you want a small school that's not too hard. You can live in CB and drive 25 miles to school a few days a week. The best inbounds steeps in CO when the snow is good.....and when it's not there is thousands upon thousands of backcountry oppurtunities just outside your door. The environmental studies and outdoor rec. majors rival some of the best schools around too. Plus the summers here are fucking awesome. And now that Okemo has bought Crested Butte the park should be off the hook. It's already majorly improved this year.
