The University of Colorado last won an NCAA skiing title in 2006, when the Buffs hosted the meet in Steamboat Springs.

While the Buffs surely hope to capture their next title this season, they'll at least have the chance to repeat the magic of 2006 in 2010. The NCAA announced Tuesday that CU will host the 2010 national championships in Steamboat Springs.

"The University of Colorado is excited and honored to bring the NCAA Skiing Championships back to Colorado," CU athletic director Mike Bohn said in a statement. "This is another great opportunity for the University and the state of Colorado to demonstrate the commitment to the sport of skiing. We look forward to hosting the championships and providing a first-class experience for all the other universities and student-athletes who will be participating."

The NCAA says slalom and Nordic events will be at Howelsen Hill and giant slalom will be at Mount Werner at the Steamboat Mountain Resort March 10-13.

"It was a pleasure to work with everybody in Steamboat in 2006 and we should be able to build on our existing relationships and structure and put together an even better championship in 2010," CU ski coach Richard Rokos said.

The Buffs also hosted the 1993 championships in Steamboat. The resort was also host in 1968, 1969 and 1979.

The 2009 championships are scheduled for March 11-14 at Bethel and Rumford, Maine.
