The 1980 NCAA Skiing Championships were contested at both the Whiteface Ski Resort at Lake Placid, New York, and the Stowe Mountain Resort in Stowe, Vermont, as part of the 27th annual NCAA-sanctioned ski tournament to determine the individual and team national champions of men's collegiate slalom skiing, cross-country skiing, and ski jumping in the United States.[1]
Vermont, coached by Chip LaCasse, claimed their first team national championship, finishing 20 points ahead of Utah in the cumulative team standings.
This was the final year that ski jumping was included in the event program.
