Colorado Mountain College Nordic Ski Team

Colorado Mountain College’s Nordic Team is based at Timberline Campus in Leadville in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Surrounded by Colorado’s highest peaks, the campus provides an excellent training ground for Nordic Ski racers. You won’t find a more spectacular setting to train and race.
Our Nordic facilities include 18 groomed kilometers on campus and 20 additional groomed kilometers on the adjacent Mineral Belt Trail. We have a minimum of six months of on-snow skiing. Both United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association (USCSA) and community-sponsored races are held on campus. Five additional Nordic centers and six major alpine ski areas are all within an hour’s drive from campus. You don’t have to go far to experience some of the best skiing in the Rocky Mountains!
The Alpine Ski Team is based in Steamboat Springs with access to excellent training facilities for downhill racers.

After moving from Steamboat Springs to the prime Nordic training grounds in Leadville, the Nordic Ski Team began its inaugural season in 2004-2005. With a short recruiting season, the team started competitive racing in February as an organized club sport. Against some of the best college racers in the West, our racers competed in both classic and skate racing. The season was capped by one of our racers qualifying for the National Championships in March 2005. The Colorado Mountain College Nordic Ski Team quickly made a name for itself in the collegiate Nordic racing circuit.
