you have to get out to utah. during 1st and 2nd year it is easy to get in 50-80 days of skiing each year. one of the benefits of doing an elective in utah is you will have plenty of amazing people to ski with. plus, 10 resorts are within a 1 hour drive.
it is too bad, but you just missed the start of ski path. the lecture runs from 9-12 and the skiing from 12-5
but i know plenty of students who came out and did gas, urology or other electives and still had tons of time to ski. and trust me, we have plenty of snow. alta's base is 120+
