they mainly train at Palisades/Alpine (previously Squaw). Not sure why UCD would be expensive compared to OP’s starting point of Dartmouth and Tufts combined with ‘cost not being a factor’.

UC Davis will be $280,000 and OOS students don’t tend to get aid. Any previous caveats don’t detract from the fact that $280K is a lot of money, especially for a relatively random state school.
According to their webpage, they train at Boreal.

@eyemgh I don’t believe in cultural appropriation but Miami trying to take the “U” is as close as it gets. Thanks for the defense of the U

My son attends Colby studies computer science and skis whenever he can. He loves the school and has had a wonderful experience. He raced in high school but in college just goes with his friends–they go to Sugarloaf a lot. Message me if you have any questions.

We like Sunday River, too. Their snowmaking is tops.

Hard to top the U for skiing (and rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, and canyoneering among other outdoor pursuits), and the location is ideal at the foot of the Wasatch, but in a real city. Great quality of life, and an active, outdoorsy student body, plus D1 sports and a winning football team (PAC-12 champions last year). Many people have inaccurate, outdated assumptions about Salt Lake City. It is increasingly diverse, has a great foodie scene, affordable housing (relative of course) and the U is an R1 Institution with a lot to offer. Plus it’s a WUE for qualifying states, or you can follow a very easy path to residency for in-state tuition. Definitely worth a look.

Spent 2 weeks there (U of Utah) last summer for my d23’s sport. You are totally right. On paper and even in person it is a spectacular option. But I would highly recommend visiting thoroughly before committing and exploring the surrounding city outside of the U district. There are some unique things about the community that you won’t see anywhere else and it’s most definitely not for everyone. And that’s all I’m going to say about that.

Regarding Williams and Amherst, Williams has a competitive ski team and Amherst has more of a casual ski/snow boarding club. Williams has a long tradition of skiing (winter carnival) and its own slopes close to campus, along with very strong CS, would be an overlap with Dartmouth for most applicants interested in CS and skiing.
