It was a heartbreaking championships for the Buffs on the New Hampshire slopes last week. After being named heavy favorites to win the 2017 National Championships, the University of Colorado ski team was unable to overtake the lead from Utah, as CU was awarded runner-up national champions for the second year in a row.
This would have been Colorado’s 21st national title. CU earned its spot as favorite to win after it defeating both Utah and Denver in the NCAA West Regional Championships (RMISA Championships) just a few weekends ago.
Colorado had a mixed start to the competition on Wednesday beginning with the giant slalom race, which freshman David Ketterer won.
