Breck is flat. Do Steamboat or Winterpark. Also do the Breck one if you want to ski that area, just not breck. lol

Glenwood Springs/Carbondale/Aspen (all 3 are basically the same campus) or the Steamboat campus.

Haha! Yeah, I mean, come on... who wants to ride Breck?! It's only in the top 5 resorts in the U.S. and maybe world. And they only have one of the best parks in the world... But hot damn I want one of the best parks in the WHOLE FRIGGEN UNIVERSE!


... So I'mma go to Steamboat!

Nah I know man, I'm just playin. The same goes for people who prefer park over steeps though... Can't just tell somebody to not go there and assume what they like/don't like is all I was trying to say.

Honestly, if you are just trying to ski. Don't go to CMC. Its horrible. Waste of money. Take a year or 2 off. Then go to a better university. I went for a year and its just lame.

Almost went to CMC, but I believe they are all 2 year? So I mean, in my case I was going to go, do ok and transfer to boulder. But I changed my mind due to expenses. I've heard good things though.

im a junior in high school but im in my CMC psychology class right now.
pluses: cheap, credits guaranteed to transfer to any public college or university in CO, VERY small class sizes (mine has 9 people in it).
downsides: you can only get a two year degree, limited class choices.

CMC was approved to turn to a 4 yr last spring. Don't know when they'll have their programs available but its happening. Working at a ski area does not suck. Breck is flat, but the basin/loveland/copper/vail/beaver creek aren't...

Ya'll on the haterade today.

my boyfriend went to the steamboat one he really liked it but from what he said its more a school you go to to party hard and ski as opposed to getting a good education.

Copper. it was fun to work at but i found my slef skiing less and less. my idea was to get my degree and work and ski.. and work took over my life and i would ski like 1ce every 2 weeks. id be on my skis at work from time to time but that does not count in my book

I feel like they are a complete joke academically. Like, zero credits would transfer from there to another school.

Actually, a two year degree from CMC is guaranteed to transfer to any 4 year state institution (in CO).  The academics are only a joke if you make it like that.  Yes, its possible to partially bullshit your way through CMC, but its also entirely possible to get a good education here.  Besides,i live 5 min from Steamboat mountain and i go to school for free ;)  not too bad if you ask me.
