/startlecture Man you have the rest of your life to ski. College is a time you need to be thinking about getting into a career and a job that you enjoy and won't make you miserable for either the rest of your life or until you pay off your debt. Having fun in college is important, but your sport shouldn't be the number 1 factor in where you go to school unless you're seriously going into the NBA/NFL /endlecture
It all depends on your professional goals. If you are looking to be recruited into a fortune 500 company and eventually go into upper management and own a mountain condo at Vail you're probably going to want to end up in California or stay on the east coast and try to get into either a private school like Colgate or Tufts, an Ivy league school, or an "esteemed" school in a city like Boston, Miami, NYC etc. to get connections with rich kids and stellar internships.
If you're thinking about going more grassroots and working with/in a startup business i've heard wonderful things about Denver, California, SLC.
I know you're talking west coast but my undergrad college was *the* east coast destination for skiers/snowboarders. For Marketing/Computer Science I would absolutely advise against going to UVM in Vermont. There simply aren't the internships and support you need to start a great career, and jobs are scarce in the state.
There are obviously exceptions to what I just said, its not impossible to be successful somewhere that has a scarcity in internships but I think you maximize your chances of leaping strait out of the gate when you graduate college if you position yourself right.
