Replying to College planning

I am currently a junior in HS and have started the awful process of finding a college. I would absolutely love to go to Montana State (any engineers go there?) and am also lookin at UW madison...unfortunately skiing in madison would be very minimal due to lack of a car i think. Any other suggestions? looking for a good engineering college hopefully near some legit mountains, i cant wait to get out of the mighty midwest. (for some reason i feel the minimal karma i have, will soon be gone because of this thread haha)
