Replying to COLLEGE? SLCC? AHHH

Yo, first off i know that there is a search bar but i feel that a good college thread hasn't been made in at least 5 years, and a lot can change imo in 5 years. I am gonna be a senior in HS next year and i am currently living in colorado but on a real the only good college here is School Of Mines and everything is hella expensive that would intest me here but i am not super smart i got a 1200 on my SAT and i have about a 3.0. I only have about 40-60,000 to spend on college and have begun looking around, I really have a bug for skiing and honestly i think its truly addictive so i am looking to say in the west or Midwest for college and was hoping for some help. Thanks guys honestly anything you guys can do to help me out is much appropriated.
