Huge numbers of schools offer skiing as an intermural or NCAA/USCSA sport.

Best Colleges for skiing

Many colleges in the United States and Canada have ski teams and competitive skiing. Not all of them fit our Ski School criteria: close to the slopes. Be sure to check out ski teams and competition skiing. Obviously, the two categories overlap.

There are plenty of Ski Schools within a two hour drive to the slopes. Our list follows, but if you have other suggestions, please use our Contact Us Form to let us know, so we can check it out and include your school on our list.

Important Ski and Snowboarding Organizations

"The Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) is the national governing body for Olympic skiing and snowboarding. Founded in 1904, the nearly century-old organization provides leadership and direction for tens of thousands of young skiers and snowboarders who share an Olympic dream. As a company, USSA’s management and staff coordinate a nationwide program in seven distinctly different Olympic sports -- alpine, cross country, disabled, freestyle, ski jumping, nordic combined, and snowboarding. The U.S. Ski Team has been based in Utah since in 1974, with the now U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association consolidating with the Team in Park City in 1988." United States Ski and Snowboarding Association

"We started this site because we saw a need for an informative resource for cross country racers, run by cross country racers. We train just like you do. We do many of the same races you do. We hope to use our years of experience to help you reach your nordic goals. Here is a sampling of what sets us apart from other ski resources on the web." Faster Skier.com
