Steamboat Springs — Pointing toward Mount Wern­­er’s bare but clearly defined ski runs Friday, Peter Perhac talked about the importance of the classrooms that stood behind him. Perhac, the campus CEO at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus in Steamboat Springs, knew the mountain would be a large temptation this winter for his students.

“You need to balance your life with the mountain as much as you can,” Perhac told 150 students gathered for the school’s academic convocation. “It’s time to focus on your academics.”

Friday’s convocation at the Alpine Campus marked the end of a busy week that had new CMC students making frequent trips to Walmart and moving into their new dorm rooms.
