<p>Greek Peak offers a college student season pass for $125 if purchased early and they come to the campus for sign ups. I think it happened in late September.</p>
<p>Yes, students do go there, the ones I know also go mid-week when it is less crowded. If you have a season pass and your own equipment, you can go for a few hours just for some exercise and fun.</p>
<p>It is about 30 minutes away.</p>
