The RMISA Champion is awarded each season at the annual RMISA Championships meet, which normally doubles as the NCAA Western Regional. The RMISA was founded in 1950, four years before becoming a sanctioned sport by the NCAA. From 1950-82, a men's champion was awarded. In 1977, women's skiing became an RMISA sport, six years before being recognized by the NCAA. Starting in 1983 when women's sports became part of the NCAA, the sport became coed and thus a coed champion was recognized from the RMISA, as well.
