The University of Denver will enter the 2010 National Collegiate Men's and Women's Skiing Championships as the two-time defending champion after claiming its record 20th title at last year's championships in Maine. The Pioneers earned 659 team points, finishing more than 56 points ahead of the University of Colorado, Boulder, who claimed the second-place position. The University of New Mexico finished just a half point behind Colorado to finish third.
Denver's Antje Maempel claimed individual titles in both of the women's Nordic events, while the men's Nordic titles were split between Vermont's Juergen Uhl, who claimed the 10-kilometer classical title, and Colorado's Vegard Kjoelhamar, who won the 20-kilometer freestyle race.
On the Alpine side, giant slalom titles were won by Lindsay Cone of St. Lawrence University and David Donaldson of the University of Vermont. Gabriel Rivas claimed the men's slalom individual title for Colorado while Malin Hemmingsson brought the women's title home for the University of New Mexico.
