[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there skiing near any of them?[/quote]

Colby is near Sugarloaf. Tour guide said he skied there five days a week in the winter.[/quote]

Define "near"...We lived in Augusta (20 minutes to Colby) and the loaf is about 90 minutes away.

Bates practices at Lost Valley, a great little ski area about 15 minutes from campus. Bowdoin is about 90 minutes to Sunday River, Colby is 90 to Sugarloaf/Saddleback. Real skiers would of course go to Middlebury but all the Maine schools are close enough. Facilities wise Colby just finished huge athletic upgrades and has by far the best current athletic facilities. Bowdoin is about to start construction on theirs, their campus overall is the best. Bates is quirky. All are among the most selective of the NESCACs just below Williams/Midd/Amherst[/quote]

What do you mean by “real skiers”? Sure, proximity to the snow bowl is good; but Sugarloaf has hosted a World Cup race and the US Nationals many times. Lots of real skiers would chose to ski there instead. YMMV[/quote]

Real skiers don’t ski (or, really ice skate) on the east coast.  ;)[/quote]
