The NCAA skiing championships will go down to the wire.
Colorado had a good night in the men's and women's slalom races at Howelsen Hill in Steamboat Springs on Friday, but Denver had a great night to take over the lead in the team standings.
Through six of eight events heading into Saturday's Nordic races, Denver has 437 points, with CU not far behind at 411. The race for the team title is essentially down to those two teams, with Dartmouth a distant third (330.5) and defending champion Utah in fourth (290.5).
Barring a disastrous performance on Saturday, CU will finish in the top two for the fourth year in a row, but the Buffaloes are hoping to avoid being runners up for the third straight year.
