Colorado School of Mines isn't as close as U of U, but it is much closer than Boulder and a better academic school. Just no girls...

By far best college to go to if you care about skiing is Sierra Nevada College. They are the closest 4 yr college to a ski area (Diamond Peak less than 0.5 miles from campus). Also within an hours drive you can access all tahoe skiing, which includes alpine meadows, squaw valley. If you want to drive a little furthur kirkwood is about 1 1/2 hours from campus, and if you really want to drive venture down to mammoth about 3 1/2 hours away, but is so worth it!

To conclude Sierra Nevada College is by far the best 4yr college to go to to ski. And they have an emphasis on their ski business and resort management degree, which is a ski bums dream.

you say unfortunately now, but honestly in the long run that's what's best. getting a degree from sierra nevada or (gulp) CMC in CO is such a waste of time and money.
+1 to UoU

How do you like Cerro Coso? I hear they mostly offer online classes. I have thought about taking a couple classes just to refresh some things I have forgot since College. Also do you live in the dorms. I hear they are pretty bad.

Castleton State College, VT. Killy, Pico, and Okemo are all 30 minutes away, and Then you have Mad River, SugarBush and Stowe all about 1-1.5 hours north, and the Adirondacks are about 2 hours south. We got it all.

I go to Santa Clara University and will be skiing at Squaw/Alpine. Don't forget to take a look at other, more academically-rigorous schools that are still close to skiing.

Gonzaga University is 1.5 hours from Schweitzer.
Seattle University is close to Stevens, Crystal, etc.
University of Washington is close as well.
University of Portland is close to Mt. Hood.
Portland State University is close as well.
