Colorado Mountain College Ski Team stands out as one of the most unique and impactful collegiate ski programs in the nation. Based at CMC’s Steamboat Springs campus in the heart of “Ski Town USA,” this program thrives in a community with deep championship roots.

Student-athletes benefit from two premier training venues—Howelsen Hill and Steamboat Resort—located just minutes from campus, along with exceptional coach-to-athlete ratios and flexible class schedules that support near-daily time on snow. Anchored by small class sizes, affordable tuition, and a deeply student-centered approach, CMC offers a robust model for academic and athletic development.

As a Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association associate-level member, CMC student-athletes compete alongside the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s prominent teams while studying, and can graduate with little to no debt or leverage their athletic and academic experience elsewhere in future years.

As an 11-campus college with a vast commitment to traditional academic programming and local workforce training, CMC does not have the funding structure to independently sustain the costs of the ski team. Without outside support, the college has made the difficult decision to discontinue the ski team at the end of the 2025–26 season. However, with the leadership of team parents and supporters, we are launching a bold campaign to Save the CMC Ski Team, ensuring this one-of-a-kind program continues for years to come.
