BuckShotsteezeMilwaukee, WI. Ride The Rock
DogfartAnywhere on the east coast
Michigan_SucksMTU. Mont Ripley is a 5 minute drive and students ski for free and Mount Bohemia is about a 50 minute drive with a $99 season pass. Plus it's a great engineering school.

weastcoastU of U. Ma dream college. Btw if anyone goes there quote this and give me a mini review of it.
QuaffRipley and Bohemia are actually sick ski areas even by west coast standards. Just ancient slow chairs.
PlanktonI go to Dartmouth in NH and it’s the perfect school if you want to ski a lot and have great academics too. There’s tons of terrain within 45 min and a very strong community of skiers. I’m one of the few park rats but the backcountry/resort scene is awesome. We have solid engineering/business schools too
nelsonkaiI am looking at colleges and am wondering about some potential colleges that are near some snow. Preferably a more selective college bc i actually am looking at majoring in engineering or business. Doesnt have to be next to a huge resort, just a mountain for local shredding thats close by.
MasterUdonNo everyone can spend 50k on tuition a year lol

Young_IPMCIt’s a good engineering school. I hear the business program is good too. The skiing is very close and you can take the free transit to the ccs. Don’t expect to party unless you’re in a frat/sorority.
skiP.E.I.U of Alberta Calgary you have COP in the city and the big 3 an hour away.

PlanktonFair point but keep in mind that private schools with big endowments to throw around often have stronger financial aid than state schools. Case in point, Dartmouth costs me less than in-state tuition would be at UNH
weastcoastThat’s awesome to hear because I’m thinking of engineering as a career path.

ginHell nah brother, CSU all the wayyyyyyyy
decXIf you care about academics stay on the east coast. A lot of the mountain schools out west have some real dumb professors who have been teaching at the school for 15 years just to ski and don't give a fuck about you learning anything/giving good lectures.
e.litttI gotta clarify that University of Alberta ≠ University of Calgary. UofA is in Edmonton which is a solid ~4.5hrs from either Marmot Basin or SSV/LLV. I miss living in Calgary.. I really took the distance to the mountains for granted there haha
Rabbit Hill has a decent park though.

iProgoalieIowa state we got seven oaks 15 minutes away in Boone! If you like park it's a decent little hill. Just enough to get your skiing fix.
