SconnieCan't beat Montana State. It's easily the best location for skiing/outdoor activities. 20 minutes from Bridger Bowl, 45-60 minutes from Big sky, Jackson Hole is close enough for a trip on a long weekend.
Also not absolutely fucking packed like Colorado and Utah.
CaptainObvious.UofU is also amazingly located. More inline with CSU in price, but the skiing and surrounding cost will be more expensive than CO. Also, consider your mormon population. It will only impact you as much as you let it, but it's something you need to keep in mind when you step off campus (i.e. liquor store hours, public surroundings, etc.)
eheathUtah is quite cheap, i guess it depends on where in CO you're talking about, but SLC cost of living is quite low.
Also people need to stop acting like mormons run utah, they don't, this isn't 2005 anymore. Mormons will have zero effect on your life, there are a few silly things you'll have to get used to that aren't unique to just utah, but some find different, ie liquor store closing at 10pm.
.Hugo.Thats not even weird. In wisconsin, the biggest drunks in this country, they cant buy alcohol after 9
eheathExactly, but I couldn't even tell you how many times I've heard people from out of state complain about it. Same with the beer at the grocery store, its 4% and most light beer (ie bud light, miller lite) is 4.1-4.3% so there is literally no difference between utah beer and a light beer in any state, but people like to complain like all they drink is 8% beer.

.Hugo.Lol mn grocery stores and gas stations only sell 3.2 beer
CaptainObvious.CO grocery stores only sell 3.2% as well. Gotta go to a liquor store for full strength.
Don't Utah liquor stores close on Sundays?
And in terms of cost, I was speaking more toward the cost of skiing, not living. Sorry for the confusion.

eheathHow is the cost of skiing more?
And yes they are closed on sundays, but utah isnt the only state that does that, which is my point here.

SconnieExcept for when they smuggle spotted cow from Wisco and sell it illegally. Bastards.

Swandog7MN liquor is closed on Sundays as well. Not that uncommon. Also skiing isn't really that much more expensive, about the same I'd imagine.
CaptainObvious.My cousin told me he paid $1200 for his pass a couple years ago. Fuckin liar. Hate that dude.
eheathWell, depends on what pass he bought.
As for college passes, PC is $399, brighton is $499 im pretty sure, SolBright pass (solitude and brighton) is $1000, alta pass for college is like $599, i think snowbird is the same.
Anyways, adult passes are definitely more expensive, but were talking about college here.
CaptainObvious.Aaaahhhhhhh. I didn't even consider college pass.
But it looks like you gotta pick one mountain and stick to it. If you don't mind your soul being corrupted you could go with the Epic pass for either CO or Tahoe and get multiple resorts for 600. As opposed to min $1000 for two mountains in UT.
BUT there's no college pass offered by Vail. So it comes to preference.
eheathVail offers a college PC pass for $399, epic local is like $550 so either get a pc pass or an epic pass.
I always got two passes when I was in college, as did most people, PC and then some cottonwood resort.
CaptainObvious.Oh sweet. I didn't realize they did a college pass.

.Hugo.Maybe you should do some research next time so you dont make yourself look like a know it all asshat
CaptainObvious.Shut your god damn mouth before I fuck it.
.Hugo.yes please
CaptainObvious.Aaaaaaaand instant boner. Thanks, now I gotta deal with this tic tac in my pants

hippy.Sierra Nevada College..skiing all over tahoe furthest being kirkwood which is 1.5 hours..or UNR! Don't forget about JAHoe #keeptahoeblue
Profahoben_212Yeet....how you liking it up there? Also I'm sorry but madatory #fucksnc. I'm told I'm cool if I say that
hippy.Super chill..Classes are easy and everyone is super outdoorsy You may be suprised to find teachers and students spending time outside of class and big beach parties if you got the homies. Overall an amazing college for an outstanding fucking debt. Picked up a job at the Incline Village Rec Center so hit ya boy up if ya'll in Tahoe. Drove out from Ohio and I'm amazed by the culture. Everyone is chill with smoking and does not care. RAs told us how to smoke and not get caught..AND EVERYONE SHREDS...Some gnarly kids up here.
