Denver, coached by Willy Schaeffler, captured their eighth, and fourth consecutive, national championship, edging out host Dartmouth in the team standings. [2] [3]

Venues

This year's championships were held in New Hampshire, with the alpine events at Cannon Mountain, near Franconia Notch, and the nordic events at Dartmouth Skiway, near Lyme. [4] [5]

The eleventh edition, these were the second NCAA championships in New Hampshire (1958 at Dartmouth Skiway) and the fourth in the East; the other two (1955, 1961) were in Vermont.

Originally scheduled for March 5–7 at Dartmouth Skiway, rain forced a move of the alpine events to nearby Vermont at Mount Ascutney, [4] and again to Cannon Mountain; the nordic events were held at Dartmouth on Friday. [5] The downhill was replaced with a giant slalom on Saturday morning, followed by a slalom in the afternoon, both won by John Clough of Middlebury. [2]
