Buffs Head North To Alaska For Two Meets

ANCHORAGE, Alaska—The Colorado Buffaloes Ski Team heads north to Alaska for two critical meets, closing out the regular season with the Alaska Anchorage Invitational while the Seawolves also host the 2023 RMISA Championships here Monday through Saturday at Kincaid Park, Government Peak and Alyeska Resort.

The schedule of competition over the next six days is as follows:

•   Monday, Feb. 20 – UAA Invitational Nordic Freestyle Sprints (Kincaid Park)
•   Tuesday, Feb. 21 – UAA Invitational Nordic 10K Classical (Kincaid Park) & Alpine Giant Slalom (Alyeska)
•   Wednesday, Feb. 22 – RMISA Championships Alpine Giant Slalom (Alyeska)
•   Thursday, Feb. 23 – UAA Invitational Alpine Slalom (Alyeska)
•   Friday, Feb. 24 – RMISA Championship Nordic 5/10K Freestyle (Government Peak) & Alpine Slalom (Alyeska)
•   Saturday, Feb. 25 – RMISA Championship Nordic 20K Classical (Government Peak)

Perhaps more crucial as the meets themselves are NCAA Qualification and seeding that come from individual results of the final two meets prior to the NCAA Championships.

The season to date has been somewhat disjointed, with Buffs missing college races due to the World University Games and U23 and Junior World Championship, and various other competitions. The Buffs will be nearly at full strength in Alaska with just Weronika Kaleta expected to miss due to competing at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Planica, Slovakia.
