LaMontagne Sweeps Alpine Titles, Colorado Takes Lead Back From Utah

Friday, March 13, 2026 • by Curtis Snyder

PARK CITY, Utah— Montana State’s Justine LaMontagne completed a sweep of the women’s alpine titles Friday at the NCAA Skiing Championships, winning the slalom at Utah Olympic Park to secure her second national title of the week.

LaMontagne posted a two-run time of 1:33.71 to win the race by nearly two seconds, adding the slalom title to her giant slalom victory earlier in the championships. Denver’s Mia Hunt finished second in 1:35.70 and Colorado’s Louison Accambray placed third in 1:35.80 to complete the podium.

While LaMontagne highlighted the day individually, the team championship race continued to tighten between RMISA rivals Colorado and Utah. After six of eight races, Colorado leads the standings with 415 points while Utah sits second with 408.5 points heading into Saturday’s 20K freestyle races at Soldier Hollow.

The conference’s depth has been on display throughout the week as RMISA teams hold the top four positions in the standings. Denver stands third with 314.5 points and Montana State fourth with 304.5, giving the league a firm hold on the top of the leaderboard entering the final day.

In the men’s slalom, Dartmouth’s Oscar Zimmer captured the national title with a two-run time of 1:33.77. Middlebury’s Julian Arthur finished second in 1:34.02 and Utah’s Johs Herland placed third in 1:34.07.

Colorado placed two skiers in the top five as Feb Allasina and Filip Wahlqvist tied for fifth place with matching times of 1:34.41, while Utah’s Pierick Charest finished fourth.

The NCAA Championships conclude Saturday at Soldier Hollow with the 20K freestyle races. The women’s race begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by the men at 10:15 a.m.
