I'm a sophomore at east stroudsburg in pa right now and I'm looking to get the fuck out. Im 20 min from camelback and forty from big boulder but i feel like a school up north would be a better fit for me with more people with a passion for skiing. what schools are closest to what mountains. and what school in new england has a lot of nsers?

I'm from Ashland, PA (near Pottsville) and went to UVM. Lots of cool kids, Stowe/Sugarbush/Jay/Bolton/MRG etc within an hourish. Burlington is a sick place to live, you wouldn't regret it.

plymouth state or uvm are ur best choices. uvm has better life/city outside skiing.

anywhere in burlington definitely. im also from PA so I know how it feels. I transferred to champlain this semester and this place is pretty awesome. 45 minutes to stowe or sugarbush and the vibes in general seem really dope.

Fuck, I miss BB. Though, I don't think I would ever go to ESU... place is a shithole.

UVM is pretty neat-o, but costs about a billion dollars...

Just gonna plead to you that you do not choose your college based solely on skiing. For many people, (me included) it was a part of the college process, but please be sure to visit all the schools and make sure you fit in well there, will be challenged academically, ect. I've seen too many of my friends return home to local colleges because they didn't put enough time and thought into their decisions.

That being said, Burlington is dope, St. Mikes, Champlain, UVM are super close to Stowe
Plymouth State is a hugeee party school (if that's what your into), and real close to Loon
Bates Bowdoin Colby in Maine are all about an hour to an hour and a half from Sunday River and Sugarloaf, and a bit smaller, and more academically challenging than some of the other schools mentioned.

Best of luck!

I like champlain a lot for the smaller classes. It can be as challenging as you make it.
