We are kicking off our final youth mountain bike race weekend of 2026 with a fun, low-key new race format - the MTB sprint! Modeled loosely after cross country ski sprints and UCI Eliminator, the race will pit athletes head-to-head on a ~1,000m course. We’ll run a ranking time trial and then 3 rounds of “knock-in” heats, where the top two athletes in a heat move “up” and the bottom two move “down,” re-ranking heats to keep the racing fast and competitive throughout the day.

It has been 30 years in the making, but the NCAA Skiing Championships are back at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. The Center last played host to the Championships in 1997 when snow conditions forced a move from Stowe to the trails in Craftsbury Common. This time they’re ours from the outset. In 1997 Utah defeated UVM by a scant 39.5 point margin. Will the defending champion Utes secure another title? Or will the hometown Catamounts take their first team victory since 2012?
