The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced the men’s and women’s selections for the 2025 National Collegiate Skiing Championships on March 5-8, 2025. 74 men and 74 women were selected to compete and six athletes chosen to compete are SSWSC alumni—Bode Flanigan, Boston College (alpine), Nicholas Unkovskoy, Middlebury (alpine), Hannah Soria, Colby College (alpine), Isabelle Washburn, Dartmouth College (alpine), Chase High, St. Scholastica (nordic), and Grey Barbier, Montana State (nordic). SSWSC currently has 35 athletes skiing at the collegiate NCAA level in alpine and cross country (nordic).

“The six SSWSC alumni who have been selected to compete at the 2025 NCAA Skiing Championships represent not just their colleges and universities but also every part of NCAA skiing,” said SSWSC Athletic Director Dave Stewart. “These student-athletes represent all three regions of NCAA skiing, east, west, and midwest; both alpine and cross country skiing; both Division I and Division III colleges; and both men’s and women’s skiing. We are very proud of the accomplishments of these student-athletes and look forward to following their results next week during the NCAA championship races in New Hampshire and in the years to come.”

According to the NCAA release, participants are selected on a regional basis from two designated regions for Alpine skiing (East and West Regions) and three designated regions for Nordic skiing (Central, East, and West Regions). Bids are awarded to regions using a formula determined by the skiing committee. A maximum of 12 student-athletes (three per gender per discipline) may be selected from an institution.

Races will be hosted by Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, with alpine races on the Dartmouth Skiway and Nordic races at Oak Hill Outdoor Center. Men’s and women’s giant slalom will be on Wednesday, March 5, men’s and women’s 7.5 km individual classical will take place on Thursday, March 6 at Oak Hill Outdoor Center, men’s and women’s slalom will be on March 7 and men’s and women’s 20 km mass start freestyle will take place on March 8.
