| Description |
The NMU Alpine Ski Team is a club sport for people who love to downhill ski and want to race competitively. We are also open to snowboarders interested in racing! We practice three days week, travel to six weekend races across the upper Midwest, and hold fun team-bonding activities. Our team competes in the USCSA where we're part of the Lake Superior Division of the Midwest Region, which holds an annual race at our home mountain, Marquette Mountain. The top three teams are sent to Nationals, which rotates bbetween an East and West location each year. We have sent skiers to Nationals every year since becoming a sport club at NMU! We are a very dedicated team and show a lot of support to the Marquette community through annual volunteering events. NMU Alpine is a great way to meet students with a common interest: skiing! We spend plenty of time together, even when the snow isn't falling.
