Six of the eight skiers competing at NCAA's for the first time are in their first season at Utah. Mark Engel is a returning national champion, winning the 2014 NCAA giant slalom title. Guro Jordheim is a four-time All-American in women's Nordic. Roni Remme, who recently earned a podium finish on the women's World Cup circuit, is a three-time alpine All-American.
