The NCAA skiing landscape is made up of three regions, each with one conference. The Western Region comprises the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association (RMISA), the Central Region of the Central Collegiate Ski Association (CCSA) and the Eastern Region of the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA). Qualification for the NCAA Championships is not only attained from competition in each regional.
Venues And Events
The NCAA Skiing Championships are coed championship made up of eight events, two events in both alpine and Nordic racing for both men and women. Alpine events are giant slalom and slalom and Nordic events are classical and freestyle (skate). In Nordic competition, there is typically one shorter interval start race and one longer mass start race, and every two years it flips.
In 2013, the events were: Women's Giant Slalom and Men's Giant Slalom on Wednesday, March 6; Women's 5K Classical and Men's 10K Classical interval start on Thursday, March 7; Women's and Men's Slalom on Friday, March 8; and Women's 15K Freestyle and Men's 20K Freestyle mass start on Saturday, March 9.
All alpine events took place at the Middlebury College Snow Bowl and Nordic events at the Rikert Nordic Center.
