“Game days turning the MUSS into a sea of red, how easy it is to be on a chairlift before class on a powder day, that the campus‑city mix can feel chaotic and still a bit unpolished, and that the workload can quietly pile up, yet the mountain‑backdrop never lets you forget you’re in a place where the environment still feels like the best part of the experience.”
