University of Denver Athletics

The continued success of Denver Alpine and Nordic rely upon the generosity of our alums, parents, and friends to help fund the operational and scholarship needs of the program.  
 
DU’s Ski Team Fund provides our programs with current dollars which are able to be used towards operating costs and specific unbudgeted needs to further enhance the competitive and academic excellence of our programs.
