The CSU Alpine Ski Team is a club that provides the opportunity to race on a semi-competitive level through the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association. The season begins Spring semester with 4-6 races, beginning during winter break and ending in early/late March. Our team consists of 10-20 racers that compete consistently but are welcome to more. Training happens on weekdays from 9-12 at Eldora Mountain Resort alternating between GS and Slalom. Due to the fact that this sport requires a lot of equipment, the team does not provide it but gear can be found with the help of officers and other members.

Primary competition season begins in January with the first race taking place the weekend before Spring Semester start and ends in the end of February. Depending on Regional qualification, Nationals take place 1-2 weeks after Regionals and alternate between Western location and Eastern location. For example, in 2022 Nationals was held at Lake Placid, NY. In 2023, Nationals was at Mammoth, California.
