Colorado Mountain College Steamboat Springs Colorado. Go to class and take five minutes to get to the mountain everyday.

Hit up University of British Columbia. They are like an hour and a half form Whistler and you can ski park at Grouse on weeknights. Only issue is finding the money to get there as an international student.

If your a really good student you could also look at Dartmouth, they have their own hill and are 45 min from Killington.

MSU is hands down the best school for big mountain skiing and Backcountry if you're in to that. Probably Utah for Park City if you like park riding better... SLC is just a gross, smoggy city though.

Montana St is a great skiing school if you are 100% stoked on being outside 100% of the time. Social life takes a backseat to the outdoors. I feel like other schools (UofU, CU, and CSU) have a good balance between being able to go and party when you want and also being able to ski when you want.

I just graduated from the University of Utah this last spring. University of Utah is a good move. So many resorts! Stay away from Utah State though, that place is trash.

Not sure what kind of skiing you're into but I run the freeski team at Colorado State. We are more backcountry freeride oriented but I can tell you that there are some rad places to do backcountry up in Northern Colorado...I know resorts are far away from Fort Collins but don't sleep on it

I think CSU or CU get the best of both worlds. College/City life and a quick drive to a number of mountains.

This is possibly the most over posted question in the history of NS. Use the damn search bar.

Great idea when you say it.. but not so great in reality.

Seen so many people come through with the 'im gonna ski and get my degree here' and fail out because they were too busy skiing, getting pregananant, or partying to study

There are parties don't worry. They're not CU level parties but most are still pretty lit or fun
