My freshman year I took classes the entire day basically 9-9 with a few hours worth of breaks 2.5 days a week. So basically had 4 days off and a half day off. Skied usually 2-3 days and another couple days for doing HW and hanging around campus. Highly recommend doing a schedule like that if you can handle it. Lot of work having classes back to back to back all day but I think its worth it. Gets you in the zone for the day not like you are in class for 2 hours and then chillin the rest of the day. Plus I got to shred all the time

Haha I can't imagine that leaves much room for skiing. Just registered for next semester though, and I have Fridays off so that's dope!

And op, unless you really really like riding park and not much else, I wouldn't recommend coming here to Minnesota
