Registration for Mountain Sports consists of two parts:
Western Colorado University’s Mountain Sports program allows collegiate student-athletes to compete in trail running, climbing, mountain biking, nordic skiing, alpine skiing, freeride skiing and snowboarding, and ski mountaineering. Our professional coaches and structured training allow athletes to excel at the highest level in their respective mountain sport(s) alongside their academic pursuits. Giving to a Mountain Sports team provides enhanced opportunities for travel and offsets costs, such as team dues, that student-athletes have to afford otherwise. Donors may choose to support athlete dues and scholarships or contribute towards other causes such as team travel.
