You can move to a mountain, work and ski there, and not pay tuition.

Top ones are these baddies right here:

University of Utah
University of Utah
University of Washington
Montana State University
College of the Rockies
Southern Methodist University - Taos
CU Boulder
Colorado Christian University
Colorado School of the Mines
Lewis and Clark College
Northern Arizona University
Dartmouth College

http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges

Search on that site these colleges. They are all near mountains. Obviously the ones in Utah are the best, Washington, Montana, Taos, Colorado, then the rest are kinda crap (that is rated by how good the mountain is, the best school is probably University of Washington but depends what your studying)

There are also east coast schools in vt and maine with decent skiing. I think Dartmouth is probably academically better than U Wash as well...

Westminster college is another option if you'd prefer a small privet school over the U.

I know both Middlebury and Dartmouth have their own college-owned ski hills, small but apparently the parks are run by students which is neat I guess
