STOWE, Vt.—Twenty-one is generally regarded as a lucky number. Whether it gets you a winning hand at blackjack or represents the legal drinking age in your state, it's usually a number many look forward to.
And that's certainly the case for the Colorado Ski Team, which is looking for National Championship No. 21 this week here at Stowe Mountain Resort and Trapp Family Lodge. The Buffs have won 19 NCAA and one AIAW Championship in its rich skiing history.
And while the Buffs are looking for No. 21, they are also looking for the program's 20th NCAA Championship, which would make it the second skiing program to achieve that milestone but just the 11th program among the 90 different championships contended annually to win 20 or more NCAA Championships.
