@markiemasucci Don’t even think twice about the skiing! I grew up on the east coast and moved to Colorado in my early twenties. I felt the same way, when I got here, I felt like I was at home. It is not a clique. I ended up eventually attending graduate school at CU Boulder and I don’t even remember ever talking about skiing with my classmates!
There is so much to do in Boulder outside from skiing. I would bet the majority of students do not ski due to the fact that it is so expensive and most of ski areas are not that close. Who has time to spend an entire day skiing when you are studying? I do ski but honestly, I sometimes go years when I do not. The definition of who I am is not defined by whether I ski or not. Boulder is a wonderful college town and a beautiful campus with numerous activities to participate in that do not involve skiing.
