List of U.S. collegiate skiing programs explained

The following are schools in the United States that field ski programs competing in either the NCAA or the USCSA.

NCAA Skiing

The NCAA holds a single, all-division championship for men, and a single, all-division championship for women.

There are three NCAA affiliated ski conferences: the Central Collegiate Ski Association, Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association and Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association. The conferences consist of Division I, Division II, Division III,[1] [2] and some non-NCAA affiliated teams which compete as guests. There are also some NCAA affiliated teams that are not members of an NCAA ski conference and compete in the USCSA.
