Yobeat’s Top 10 Colleges for Snowboarding
You should remove your tassle before snowboarding, college boy. Tommy Gesme is a bad example. photo: Danny Kearn
So the Ski Channel put out a list of the top ten schools for skiing and snowboarding and we were going to just reblog it and call it good, because it is one of our most frequently asked questions. But alas, their choices are pretty damn terrible. So, to insure that none of you (who we’re sure also frequent the skichannel.com for some reason) go to Oregon State (3 hours from the mountain) vs Portland State (1 hour and 15 minutes from the mountain) or any other their other bad calls, here’s our list. Warning: academics is not high on our list of requirements, but you’ll get a grade A education in snowboarding. Click on each to see our reasoning or just go through the numbers to read them all (we figure it you’re going to college you can read, but if not, they each have a video too.)
1. University of Utah
2. Plymouth State College
3. University of Nevada- Reno
4. University of Vermont
5. Montana State University
6. Western Washington University
7. UC Boulder
8. Portland State University
9. Middlebury College
10. UMN- Duluth
You can be retarded and get into plumouth all you need is to not fail the SAT
i failed the SATs and got in
Could of given this article a little bit more effort.
very accurate statement about bolton. i only go there at night and while i’m half in the bag…and it is always awesome.
ps…go to community college and save yourself the 20 years of debt!
I’ve been waiting a long time for the Snow Bowl to be mentioned on Yobeat, if you’re ever in the area on a powder day there’s no better place to go
Not to mention UVM has sick hills to longboard down and mad kids to sell wax to. Just an all around perfect place.
damn upstatemike is the fucking man
Castleton definitely could have held its own place on this list. We have a campus park, about 10 features, flat bars, boxes, hand rails, a wall ride, wooden drop-in, corrugated. The park is lit at night, and we’ve held movie premier’s/after party’s the past 3 seasons with the likes of Darkside, Redbull, Killington, Voleurz, Never Summer. We are 30 min from Killington. 45-50 min to Okemo.
I won’t blab on, but show us some love Brooke! Plus it would piss off the town folk of Castleton who hate our college, and give ’em one more reason to call us derelicts. They have an ordinance about skating in that town! (gave us the excuse to get a skate park built on campus, but the angry old people still suck)
Its Montana State University in Bozeman not UoM
St mikes has a pretty big pre season rail jam, and like an obscene amount of money to spend on the club that is free to enter. Yobeat sent us free shit once, so yea it was pretty chill.
No NMU?
NMU blows!
I would like it be shown in the record that Justin went to UVM… Am I the only one amazed by this
Canada?
UBC, SFU, UBC-Kelowna, Calgary
All better than lots of those listed
#WVUsnowboarding ?
western state
Brozeman Mantana
WVU and Pitt kill it too. Lehigh isn’t too far off from Big Boulder either.
App state is a minute drive from App Ski Mtn, honorable mention… and it’s not in the middle of bumfucknowhere like West Virginia.
Good thing Western State isn’t on the list. Trust me, Californians, it sucks. Don’t come here…
Colorado Mountain College
The steamboat springs campus has a snowboard business program, and there’s also a campus in Breck.
Cortland state in NY a true diamond in the ruff…
I think the list is referring to Oregon State’s Bend campus (30 minutes from Bachelor).
Sierra Nevada !!! team harvard went there… COCARD… COCARD.
It’s Montana State University, not University of Montana-Bozeman.
What about Westminster? Westminster has a snowboard team and you get a free resort pass. Just as close as the U of U is to the mountains, and there is a shuttle that all of the riders can take up to the mountain.
Try lost trail! Way better than Snowhole!
You forgot to mention the Flame nightclub in Duluth. That’s where Stephen finds the biggest trannys
Stephen told me the biggest tranny’s are behind the Flame in Duluth
You wont put NMU on the list… you’re too soft
PSC SNOWBOARD CLUB was the reason I went to Plymouth.
No lines…ever
Honestly. Duluth is the place to be. 3 ski hills within 20 minutes of campus. One being Mont Du lac with the fastest tow rope in the Midwest. And the most spots a city could possibly have. Plus on an average winter you’re gonna see snow at least once a week in the later months and snowstorms in April. Plus the women are spoice. If you’re trying to go to a school where you will most definitely board every day and probably film a pretty hammer part, UMD should be #1 or #2 on the list.
the university of washington at seattle should be at the top of any list
For Grad school, I go to Vermont Law School. never been out east, just moved to VT for law school from Tahoe and its pretty sweet. Killington and Sugarbush are real close and have super fun parks!! 25 min to killy, 45min to the bush. shreducation!
Just to refresh, Oregon State is in Corvallis, University of Oregon is in Eugene. There is also Western Oregon University, and Warner Pacific College, which is the closest I believe. But either way go somewhere else. The lift systems are already to crowded here! Thanks!
Western State Colorado University, 30 mins from crested butte and 40 from monarch…
UofM may not be on here but snowbowls the shit on a pow day, Bozeman does trump however
give the gravedi99er a humpday Kevin Court is the future
WOw….. Northern Michigan University should be in the top 5 at leasttt
sketchy
How could you forget Smuggs?
Colorado mountain college in steamboat! I’m in the dorms and we
are 10 minutes away from the resort
Psu is 2 hours for big boulder and 7 springs and has a small hill 10mins from campus
Western State Colorado University is wayyy more sophisticated than most of this other junk… YoBeat didn’t do their research. Surprise, surprise…
How about Western State Colorado University. Dumb name good school. Crested butte, Telluride, Wolf Creek, Monarch, Silverton and thousands of acres of backcountry at your doorstep. Plus its almost community college cheap. Or it was when I was there.
for the east coast umass amherst is always forgotten. pretty good school ,hour from mt snow and its a huge party school
Westminster College is blocks from the University of Utah and has a snowboard team…?
CU Boulder? Yeah fucking right its almost two hours to the resorts
here’s what really matters:

Cal State San Bernardino if you want to ride Bear.
