<p>ok i've checked out boulder and it's beautiful, tons of skiing nearby, quite good academics (high SAT scores for a state college that I've heard little about). I'd be happy if I had to go there...obviously I don't intend to go to my main safety, but Boulder would work for me if that was all I got. I will be applying so thanks again for all the suggestions.</p>
<p>Hsmom: I'm from Texas...I dunno how many applicants they get from Texas...I'll be majoring in Economics.</p>
<p>reed they have their own ski cabin

<p>Ithaca College :</p>
<p>Upstate Newyork in Ithaca and right near Cornell U.</p>
<p>Upstate Newyork = snow = slopes lol (I'm assuming there's a few...not anything like the giant mountain ranges further west, but if u want to stay in the east...)</p>
<p>middle 50% of people who submitted scores
SAT Reasoning Verbal: 540 - 640
SAT Reasoning Math: 540 - 640</p>
<p>ps. I'm not sure about the ski slope situation, but I know there is at least one because you can ski as a gym class at Cornell (I heard) so...must be lol</p>
<p>Appalachian State University in NC.</p>
<p>West Point is a little competitive but has its own ski slope on campus</p>
<p>Nevada-Reno (Tahoe nearby)</p>
<p>Arizona (Mt. Lemmon nearby)</p>
<p>UBC (if it hasn't been mentioned before).</p>
<p>Holy Cross-good ski area 20 minutes away.</p>
<p>Western Washington U.</p>
<p>University of British Columbia - probably the best college to goto if you want to ski. Practically every kid has a season ticket at Whistler and skis every weekend. The skiing is truly phenomenal and you can ski well into June.</p>
<p>Look at Univ. of Utah and BYU. They didn't hold the Winter Olympics there for nothing.</p>

<p>thank you! I knew there had to be a good university in canada where skiing was the norm, but I never looked west!</p>
<p>I'll definitely check it out.</p>
<p>You might consider St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. Pretty good LAC and both varsity and club skiing.</p>

<p>Well, there's a ski area 20 minutes away, but I don't know of any real skier who would call it "good". Great for families and after work skiing, but that's about it.</p>
<p>Definetly look at universities in western Canada. I live in Calgary, which is about an hour drive away from Banff and the rockies (sunshine, lake louise, etc. for skiing). There is a university here (University of Calgary), but unless you want to do business or engineering, I would suggest UBC. I'm going there next year. Vancouver is also hosting the 2010 winter olympics, so you can bet that they will be improving the winter sports facilities throughout your undergrad years.</p>
