The 1958 NCAA Skiing Championships were contested at the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme, New Hampshire at the fifth annual NCAA-sanctioned ski tournament to determine the individual and team national champions of men's collegiate alpine, cross country skiing, and ski jumping in the United States.[1]
Host Dartmouth, coached by Al Merrill, edged four-time defending champion Denver in the team standings to claim their first national championship.[2][3][4]
For the first time in its brief history, there were no repeat individual NCAA champions.
Venue
This year's championships were held February 28 to March 2 in New Hampshire at the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme, hosted by nearby Dartmouth College.[5]
The fifth edition, these were the first NCAA championships in New Hampshire and the second in the East; the 1955 events were in central Vermont at Northfield, about fifty miles (80 km) northwest of Lyme.
The championships returned to Dartmouth Skiway in 2003; its vertical drop in 2020 was approximately 970 feet (295 m).
