Replying to Freeride teams in college?

Hey everyone. I’m a freeride skier in the Denver metro and in high school. Right now I’m on a team pretty casually but want to start taking it to the next level. I think the best move out of high school is to be good enough to get on to a college team, maybe in SLC, Bozeman or CU Boulder, but call me out if this is a dumb move. I am also willing to go to school in Europe because I have lots of family there and can speak a Germanic language. If anyone has experience on how to transition to college skiing, or what kind of preparation I need to do for this sort of thing, let me know.
