Valley
The 1962 NCAA Skiing Championships were contested at the Squaw Valley Ski Resort in Olympic Valley, California at the ninth annual NCAA-sanctioned ski tournament to determine the individual and team national champions of men's collegiate alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and ski jumping in the United States.[1]
Denver, coached by Willy Schaeffler, captured their sixth national championship (and second consecutive), edging out rival Colorado in the team standings.[2][3]
Scheduled as the opening event on Thursday, the downhill was postponed to Saturday due to heavy snowfall, and the jumping moved to Sunday.[4][5]
Utah's Jim Gaddis reclaimed the alpine title he won two years earlier; he won the slalom,[6] and was runner-up in the downhill, just a tenth of a second behind.[2][7]
