Colorado Mountain College (CMC)is a network of seven community college campuses in western Colorado. Three of
the campuses are residential campuses with student residence halls and cafeterias, and are located in Steamboat Springs, Leadville and Glenwood
Springs. CMC also offers several courses transmitted across the district via live interactive video, allowing students at one
location to hear and speak with their teachers at other college sites. CMC offers many of the same introductory courses in arts
and sciences found at most four-year colleges, but it also has strong outdoor education and wilderness studies courses. Other
heavily enrolled programs include Ski Business, which incorporates ski tuning, boot fitting, retail shop management, marketing;
and Ski Area Operations, which offers hands-on courses in Slope Maintenance and Grooming, and Ski Lift Maintenance and
Operations. Courses in Hotel and Resort Management are also offered, and graduates of these courses help to sustain the winter,
and summer, tourism driven economies of Colorado.
