DU Invitational Kicks Off 2020 Season Friday
ASPEN—The collegiate ski season is officially upon us and the Colorado Ski Team is set to open the alpine portion of its season with the Denver Invitational, set for Friday to Sunday here at the Aspen Highlands Ski Resort.
A few firsts are happening as this is the first time alpine teams are heading to Aspen for alpine action and this is the first time Denver is hosting the first meet of the season in the coed skiing era (since 1983). In 2009 and 2010 Nordic races took place in Aspen as part of the Owl Creek Chase, which is also happening this season, but ironically not as part of the DU Invitational, whose Nordic races will take place Jan. 25-26 at Maloit Park near Vail.
