Paul Smith s College announces re-launching of alpine ski program 12/21/20
While colleges around the country are dropping varsity sports programs, Paul Smith’s College has been on a mission for over a year to bring more competitive sports to its 14,000-acre campus in the Adirondacks. After officially announcing the addition of Nordic skiing, biathlon, hockey, trap shooting and esports, comes the latest addition to campus in the form of alpine skiing in 2021-2022, giving the school a total of 27 varsity sports programs.
Actually, alpine skiing is making more of a return to Paul Smith’s College after having a dominant program in the 1980s and 1990s that saw the school, a two-year institution at the time, capture the national junior college championship in 1991. The College of the Adirondacks’ skiing legacy dates back to 1952 when it hosted the United States Olympic trials prior to the Winter Games in Oslo. The trials occurred on campus at its Jenkins Mountain ski hill.
