The NCAA Skiing Championships includes men’s and women’s events in both Nordic and Alpine disciplines with the overall combined team champion determined based on results in each event.

Athletes from Division I, Division II and Division III schools compete against each other for individual and team national titles. Giant slalom and slalom will take place at Whiteface Mountain, while the 5 and 10-kilometer freestyle and mass-start 20K classic cross-country skiing races are set to be held at the Nordic Center at Mount Van Hoevenberg.

The two NCAA Skiing Championships will take place 15 miles from one another, with Alpine races at Whiteface and the Nordic races at Mount Van Hoevenberg. Both venues will be open for recreational skiing during the competitions.

This will be the fourth time the NCAA Skiing Championships have been held in Lake Placid, including 1980 when Lake Placid and Stowe, Vermont, co-hosted the event. ORDA and St. Lawrence hosted the championships in 1982 and 2015 — both were won by the University of Colorado.

The University of Utah has won the last three NCAA Skiing Championships overall team titles and four out of the last five — interrupted only by Denver’s title in 2018. Vermont has had to settle for second place three times — including last year in Park City, Utah — since winning the school’s sixth skiing national championship in 2012.

The University of Denver has won the most team titles with 24, followed by Colorado with 20 and Utah with 15.
