Does your college classroom look anything like this?

If not, then here's your chance to spend next semester shoulder-deep in the Utah powder. Winter at Westminster let's you ski or ride 50+ days while earning 12-16 transferable credits from one of the West's top-ranked colleges.

Westminster is just 30 minutes away from 7 world-class resorts in the Wasatch range of the Rocky Mountains. So, come to Utah next semester and make your friends back home insanely jealous. Better yet, bring 'em along for the ride.

“If you were to tell a friend about Winter at Westminster, how would you describe it?”

Here’s what they had to say:

 

“Quite possibly the greatest thing I’ve ever done!  I think more people should participate in this program.  So many of the things I did I thought I’d never get the opportunity to do and I am so glad I did.”

- Haley White

Roger Williams University

Major: Architecture; Minor: Photography

 

“It is so much fun! You get to do all the things you have ever wanted to do as far as winter activities go: Bobsled, skiing at all of Utah’s resorts and other outdoor recreation activities.”

- Joe Rickabaugh

Minnesota State University

Major: Information Systems; Minor: Computer Science

 

“Winter at Westminster is a great program. If you want to be able to snowboard up to 5 days a week and gain experience in the backcountry, and do other fun outdoor activities too, then this program is perfect for you.”

- Justin Aaron

University of North Carolina at Wilmington

Major: Marketing

 

“It’s almost like the longest, best, coolest vacation of your life.  The classes are fun, and the people and culture are great.  The skiing is phenomenal!  The climbing is just as fun.  There is plenty to do.  It is one of the greatest experiences of my life!”

- Luke Hostetter

One of the most popular Winter at Westminster activities is the annual video contest sponsored by Dynastar, Backcountry.com & Spy Hop Productions and most recently Skullcandy.

Every year Winter at Westminster students are invited to create a video chronicling their experience in the program and compete for fabulous prizes. The students, who are split into teams of 2 to 4, are loaned video cameras to document their activities and answer the question “How do you Winter at Westminster?” on video.

Each team is partnered with a video apprentice from Spy Hop Productions who mentors them through the post-production process, including digital video editing and music integration. The finished videos are screened at the end of the semester at the awards ceremony and party. This year Zack Bryant and Justin Aaron of Team One and a Half Men swept the awards – they took home every prize! Check out their video:

The 2010-2011 season was an epic year in Utah. Resorts up and down the Wasatch Mountains experienced record snowfall and Snowbird was no exception, with 783 inches – that’s 100 inches more than they’ve ever had before! All that snow meant Snowbird’s slopes were open on the 4th of July for only the third time in their history. People were skiing and boarding in shorts, t-shirts, and bathing suits (and costumes), while also enjoying Snowbird’s great summer activities, like the bungy trampoline and the alpine slide.

The 4th was the closing day of Snowbird’s longest ski season – 202 days.
