1971 NCAA Skiing Championships

[1] Denver, under new head coach Peder Pytte, captured their fourteenth national championship and tenth in eleven years.

They finished 21.6 points ahead of rival Colorado in the team standings.

Denver's Otto Tschudi, winner of the previous year's giant slalom, swept the three alpine titles; teammate Ole Hansen repeated as Cross Country champion,[2] and John Kendall of New Hampshire repeated as Skimeister (all four events).

The eighteenth edition, this year's NCAA skiing championships were held March 4–6 in South Dakota at Terry Peak, in the Black Hills near Lead.
