PARK CITY, Utah — The University of Utah has been selected to host the 2028 NCAA Ski Championships. Officials said the alpine races will be held at Park City’s Utah Olympic Park, while cross-country competitions will take place at Soldier Hollow Nordic Center in Midway.

The 2028 event will mark the eighth time the state of Utah has hosted the NCAA Skiing Championships and the first since 2022. The meet, which rotates annually between an East Coast and West Coast host, was held in Utah in 1957, ’63, ’81, ’91, 2000, and ’14.

Utah, a juggernaut in NCAA skiing, has won 16 national championships—15 under the NCAA umbrella—along with 86 individual national titles, the third-most of any program in the country.

Utah won four straight team national titles from 2019-23. The Utes are coming off of a 2024 season in which the team placed as the runner-up in the tightest-ever finish to an NCAA Championship. Utah totaled 13 All-American awards and two individual national champions in Mikkel Solbakken (men’s giant slalom) and Sydney Palmer-Leger (women’s 7.5K freestyle).
