BOULDER — The Colorado ski team is set to open its 28th season under head coach Richard Rokos this week when the Buffalo Nordic team competes at the U.S. Cross Country Championships in Anchorage, Alaska and at the alpine team at the Montana State Invitational.
Colorado's Nordic team, now in its 17th season under Head Nordic Coach Bruce Cranmer, will race in the 10- and 15-kilometer freestyle races on Jan. 3 and the freestyle sprint races on Jan. 5 at Kincaid Park. The races are being held independent of a team meet and will not be scored, but do count individually towards NCAA qualification in the same manner the RMISA qualifiers do for the student-athletes on the alpine side.
