The 2019 NCAA Skiing Championships began Wednesday in Stowe, Vermont.
The Pioneers began their defense of their 2018 title, hoping to clinch their 25th title. But it was a challenging day for the Crimson and Gold.
On the Nordic side, Coach Dave Stewart has a new look squad. After losing some of his team members from last season to graduation and illness, Stewart fielded three skiers this year that are new to the NCAA Championships – but show strong potential. During the 10k event, Eivind Kvaale led the Pioneers to an 11th place finish while other newcomers Borger Norrud (24th) and OleMarius Kirkeng (27th) finished back in the pack. I have nicknamed the three Norwegians – the “Attacking Vikings” – but today was not the type of day they could attack. Continue reading NCAA Championships Day 1: DU Skiers face tough uphill battle

Below is an account from LetsGoDU ski team insider, Tim Healy, on this season’s outlook for DU’s defending national champions. His recent day with the team is chronicled below:
This past Saturday the DU ski team hosted its annual Ski with the Team fundraiser up at Winter Park Resort. Members of both the Alpine and Nordic teams joined supporters and friends of the program on the Winter Park Express for a train ride up to the slopes. On board the train the athletes served beverages and breakfast burritos from local favorite Snooze an A.M. Bakery. Once we arrived at the mountain, we hit the slopes. I was joined by senior Tuva Norbye, junior Storm Klomhaus, sophomore Amelia Smart, & freshman Katie Hensien. And, frankly, how many sports can you spend the day with NCAA national champions doing a hobby you love to do! Continue reading A Day with the Denver Ski Team
