STEAMBOAT SPRINGS —Though skiing is very much a team sport, it's divided into two distinct disciplines that, aside from morale, have little to do with each other.
No matter how Colorado's Alpine team fared in Friday night's slalom races, the Nordic team will be focused and ready to go come Saturday morning.
The men will compete in a 20-kilometer classical cross-country race at Howelsen Hill at 9 a.m. on Saturday, with the women starting their 15K race a few hours later.
The classical races mark the final day of competition at the NCAA Skiing Championships, a four-day event CU is hosting in Steamboat Springs.
