Colleges for Engineering & Skiing

[petek]

Here's a question for you alumni out there: How hard is it to balance an engineering course load and compete on a college alpine ski team?

I am asking for a friend whose son competes (well) in NASTAR, hopes to get a skiing scholarship (yeah, I know he'd probably have a better chance with FIRST) and wants to study engineering.

Also:
Do "skiing colleges" like U of Vermont let you adjust your schedule for skiing?
Does your college/university have a ski team?
And finally, for my daughter (a sophomore on team 103) who will be studying engineering and loves to ski too, what are the best engineering schools with good skiing nearby. I know about RPI, but how other schools?

TIA!
