Utes enter the season winners of the last three completed NCAA Championships
BOULDER, Colo. – The University of Utah Ski Team officially received its 2023 collegiate schedule on Thursday, as the RMISA finalized the slate culminating with the conference championships at Alaska Anchorage and St. Lawrence hosting the 2023 NCAA Championships in Lake Placid, New York.
Winners of the last three completed NCAA Championships and 15 titles all-time, Utah will begin the new season in Houghton, Michigan, as Michigan Tech hosts a pair of Nordic qualifier races within the U.S. National Championships. Freestyle racing takes place on Jan. 2 with classic sprints following on Jan. 4 at Tech Trails. Nordic teams continue competition at the Montana State Invitational on Jan. 13-14.
Alpine season begins on Jan. 26-27 with Westminster hosting an alpine-only meet at Snowbird Ski Resort. It'll be a pair of slalom days, before teams head to Bozeman, Montana, and complete the MSU Invitational with two days of giant slalom races (Jan. 30-31).
The month of February kicks off with the Spencer James Nelson Memorial Colorado Invitational. The Nordic half of the meet will be held Feb. 3-4 at Howelsen Hill in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, with giant slalom races coming on Feb. 9-10 at Eldora Mountain Resort in Nederland, Colorado.
The last day of the CU Invitational also coincides with the start of the Denver Invitational, whose Nordic competition is scheduled for Feb. 10-11 at Maloit Park in Minturn, Colorado. Two days of slalom are slated at the Loveland Ski Area on Feb. 11-12 to wrap up the meet.
The focus then turns North for the rest of February with Alaska Anchorage hosting its invitational along with the RMISA Championships. UAA hosts Nordic events on Feb. 20-21 at Kincaid Park in Anchorage, followed by giant slalom (Feb. 21) and slalom (Feb. 23) at Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, Alaska.
The RMISA Championships begin Feb. 22 at Alyeska Resort with giant slalom. Both freestyle and slalom competition takes places on Feb. 24 and the RMISA Championships will wrap on Feb. 25 with classic races. Both the freestyle and classic Nordic days will be held at Government Peak Recreation Area in Palmer, Alaska.
From there, its on to Lake Placid for the NCAA Championships, running from March 8-11. The alpine portion of the championship meet (March 8 and 10) is slated for Whiteface Mountain and Nordic races (March 9 and 11) will be held at the Olympic Sports Complex.
Utah is coming off another banner year in 2022. Serving as host of the NCAA Championships, the Utes led the meet from wire-to-wire, collecting 14 All-America accolades and as many podium results across the alpine and Nordic races. Novie McCabe (5k classic) and Sophia Laukli (15k freestyle) each claimed individual NCAA titles. It capped a season in which 13 current and former Utah Ski Team student-athletes were named Olympians.
RMISA membership grew to 10 schools this Summer with Nevada reinstating men's and women's alpine skiing. Every NCAA Championship since 2013 has been won by an RMISA program, including four for Utah in that timetable (2017, '19, '21, '22).
