It has been 30 years in the making, but the NCAA Skiing Championships are back at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. The Center last played host to the Championships in 1997 when snow conditions forced a move from Stowe to the trails in Craftsbury Common. This time they’re ours from the outset. In 1997 Utah defeated UVM by a scant 39.5 point margin. Will the defending champion Utes secure another title? Or will the hometown Catamounts take their first team victory since 2012?
