Whistler is 5 hours from Seattle. UBC in Vancouver would be the best engineering school in the area. Snoqualmie (snow-crummy) is about an hour from Seattle, and where the ski instructors from UW teach. It’s about two hours to either Crystal Mountain or Stevens Pass, three to Mount Baker.

Engineering will be too difficult to take off a bunch of days off to go skiing, so much of it is done during breaks. Definitely look at University of Utah. The city bus goes up to Alta and Snowbird. It’s also a state that generously allows OOS kids to move to the state and start paying in-state tuition sophomore year (may have to jump through a few hoops).
