Draft schedules for NorAm, NCAA, U18 Nationals, U.S. Nationals, and Junior World Championships, with conflict checks
The 2025–26 season features a packed schedule of elite alpine ski racing across North America, including NorAm events in both the United States and Canada, U.S. Nationals, U18 Nationals, and the NCAA Skiing Championships. Qualification for NCAA Nationals is highly selective, and the regular-season Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) Carnivals and Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association (RMISA) Invitationals are high-level series in their own right, showcasing many of the top collegiate athletes in the country. The only European event series included in this report is the FIS Junior World Ski Championships (JWSCs), scheduled for March in Narvik, Norway.
All schedules for NorAm, NCAA, U18 Nationals, U.S. Nationals, and Junior Worlds are preliminary drafts, and dates, venues, and discipline assignments are subject to change. To support athletes, coaches, and team planners, we’ve compiled these major series into one coordinated calendar and flagged known schedule conflicts. Each listing includes a quick-read conflict check, helping programs anticipate overlap between circuits and make informed planning decisions throughout the season.
