Nordic Ski Team
The Western State College Ski Club is an organization created to provide a fun, safe, and encouraging environment where athletes are given the opportunity to ski race around the United States.
We will achieve this through team cohesion and team bonding. As a club we compete in the USCSA which is a collegiate Alpine and Nordic ski racing circuit. As a club we encourage a diverse team of all ages and skill levels that will promote and teach Western State College students about ski racing and the culture behind it as well as the culture within the Gunnison Valley. Through this club members will meet new people, have great experiences, and interact with a college mountain town at its best.
