emrenRent will be more expensive
Park_RangerYou need to have confirmation from both CMC and where ever it is that you want to transfer (more important) that your credits will indeed transfer. Get it in writing from both schools if possible.
I have heard a lot of stories about people getting fucked by going to CMC for a year or two and then finding out that the majority of their credits will not transfer out because CMC is not an accredited institution with most major universities.
Park_RangerI would recommend staying in Denver for school. Denver is a rad city so it's not like you're going to be missing out on any fun. Focus on school and do the college thing during the week, and then head up to summit on the weekends for skiing. In the long run, you will not regret that.
I get it, Summit County is pretty sweet... I have been up there a bunch of times. But don't get stuck there man. That town sucks people in and they burn out pretty quickly. Keep your priorities in check outside of skiing
BIGMAS10Yeah I've heard from from a few people that CMC will say they transfer and then when it comes time to transfer them, only half the credits transfer. Definitely would need to check with both schools about the transferable credits before I make any decisions.
BIGMAS10I've heard that a bunch of people will try to just go up there for a year or two and never leave.
BIGMAS10I've heard that a bunch of people will try to just go up there for a year or two and never leave. I definitely don't want that.
leprechaunsissyUnless you intend on being a pro skier, you will be happy in 5 years or so that stayed in Denver; you will be able to ski plenty and also have more options to make a satisfying living.
Park_RangerI highly doubt that rent up in summit county is more expensive than in a booming city like Denver
emrenConsidering that I live in Summit County yeah I can tell you firsthand that the rent is more expensive.
T.L.Rent up here is ridiculous. I'm over in Avon and unless you're in employee housing you're going to be paying at least $1000+ utilities in most places. There's the occasional ~$800/mo deal but you might not get a parking space and you're probably sharing bathrooms with 17 people.
emrenThank you!! Don't forget the $1500 security deposit it takes to move into most places as well!
There was even a guy who signed a lease to rent out a couch in Dillon.... like what.

VailValleySkierYeup, it's quite expensive here in the valley.
MikeWeinerONEThis. It is almost impossible to find housing anywhere in Summit county. I wanted to move there last year for my kid since he skis at a high level, and the cheapest place for the 2 of us, like a studio was 1800 a month plus all utilities. Good luck. We stayed in Park City which is also insanely expensive, just not as bad and options.

mooseman077Shit's rough. My wife and I were living in Dillon for 975 for a 1 bedroom and got booted so our landlady could up rent to 1400. We are living in Portland now and it sucks. Thinking about going to Reno to be close to skiing again, but cheaper living.
MikeWeinerONETry telling them you also have a 16 year old kid. Impossible.
VailValleySkierGive some smaller mountains a chance. Rent is cheaper where there's less tourists and seasonal workers. Places like Summit Valley and Vail Valley will never be cheap and will continue to just get more expensive as their customer and employee base increases.
MikeWeinerONEHa, I grew up skiing Perfect North in Indiana. It's was not an option at this point with a kid that has insane potential.
theabortionatorThere are some dope places though that are off the radar. Also options like leadville of you're a road warrior looking for the cheap rent. Shit rough though. Hope you found a decentplace somewhere.
