Assuming you really have the stats, apply to lots of places and figure it out later. If you want to ski at the collegiate level, contact coaches and start your conversations about attending. My son is a scholarship cyclist at a school not well know outside the biking community. (Ft Lewis college in Durango Co. It in’t Stanford but, easy access to great skiing.) Davis and Sacramento are an easy day trip to Sugar Bowl and Sierra at Tahoe. Oregon Institute of Tech and Southern Oregon aren’t at all far from skiing. Boise State too. My point is, there are dozens, perhaps hundreds of legit colleges (UNR included) a reasonable drive from a good ski hill. Apply to a bunch of them, see who lets you in. Reach out to the clubs/coaches now and see how they are structured and supported by the school. It varies more than you’d think school to school. It is time consuming and you have to drive it yourself.
I assume you’ve seen this list.

I agree with some of the other comments above, when talking about perspective school, discuss the school’s merit rather than the epic powder available at a nearby resort.
Speaking of affluenza… If you earned a pilot’s license, you could easily buzz from Palo Alto to Truckee or South Tahoe for a day of skiing… (I am only half kidding, I am a pilot and have done that trip several times - AWESOME way to spend a day)
