I saw a similar topic on EpicSki, but most of the replies were fpr colleges out West.

Basically, I'm looking for suggestions of colleges in the Mid-Atlantic, and possibly New England that are close to ski resorts. Personally, I'd be interested in places that are close enough that I could get out every weekend, and be close to be an active member of the ski patrol, but any ideas are good. I already have a college pretty much decided on, it's just a matter of applying and being accepted, but I'm interested in hearing opinions.

Pittsburgh is close enough to Laurel Highlands that you could go every weekend or so.

WVU - Nearest resorts: Wisp, 7Springs, Laurel Mtn, Blue Knob, TLine, CV.
WV Wesleyan - Nearest resorts: Snowshoe, CV, TLine, Wisp.
Shepherd University - Whitetail, Wisp, Roundtop, Bryce.
Eastern Mennonite University - Massanutten, Bryce, Snowshoe
James Madison University - same as EMU
William & Mary - The homestead, Wintergreen, Bryce

University of Virginia: Wintergreen and Massanutten are less than 45 minutes away.
James Madison: Massanutten, Bryce, Wintergreen, Timberline, Cannan
VPI: Wintergreen, Snowshoe, Homestead

Some small mid atlantic schools....

Bridgewater - Massanutten and Wintergreen <30 minutes
Davis and Elkins - Snowshoe, CV, TL < 1 hour
Frostburg - Wisp < 45 minutes
Garrett College - Wisp 5 minutes

If your smart and wealthy - Middlebury, VT skiing on campus
Many other small schools in Massachusetts and NH are within an hour or so of great NE skiing.

Middlebury College, VT and Dartmouth University, NH both have their own ski areas that would blow away anything in the Mid-Atlantic. Mad River Glen and Sugarbush are both short drives from Middlebury. Plus, Middlebury has a one-course January term. Tommo, I used to be smart but was never rich.

The University of Vermont and St. Michael's in Burlington, VT are pretty close to Bolton Valley, Stowe, Mad River Glen and Sugarbush (< one hour.) Jay Peak is a bit more than an hour away. Burlington is a great town and an even greater college town.

Any school in Western Massachusetts would be close to Jimminy Peak, Berkshere East and the Southern VT areas (Stratton, Mt. Sneax, Magic and Bromley.) UMass, Amherst, Williams.

University of New Hampshire and the other schools in NH (Bates, etc.) have to be close to ski areas.

I think SUNY-Binghamton is close to Greek Peak; Syracuse is also prolly close. U of Buffalo is also close to some local hills.

Univ. of VT in Burlington leads the pack by a wide margin as far as skiing is concerned. Nothing else comes close. Then, I am an admitted northern VT snob. It's just that with Stowe, Mad River, Smuggs, Jay and Sugarbush all close by you've got the very best of eastern skiing, all within a 45 min drive, well except for Jay which is about 1.5 hr. Frankly I'd be bored out of my skull with just lift served mid Atlantic skiing. Stowe and Mad River offer terrific student season pass deals. UVM (not UVT please) also has a very high percentage of skiers, climbers, kayakers, you name it, so finding like minded partners should be real easy. When my son-in-law got his MBA at UVM I did not see one overweight student in the entire commencement. They all looked like they could lick their weight in wildcats, or UVM Catamounts. There are only 3 schools in the country with that kind of hard core outdoor ethic - UVM, Colorado College, and Appalachian State (NC). And, oh yeah, some call the town 'Girlington'. Need I say more?

Gettysburg College, Pa.
McDaniel College, Md.
Mount St. Mary's College, Md.
Hood College, Md.

Powder Magazine had an advertisement this month for a semester long college program at a ski resort. I think that one has 'em all beat.
