The National Collegiate Athletic Association allows each division 1 skiing program 6.3 scholarships for men and 7 for women. In division 2 the ratio is 6.3 scholarships for men and 6.3 for women

Not all athletic scholarships are full ride like football and basketball, so called "head count" sports; most are classed as "equivalency" sports, like NCAA skiing. Put simply this means that coaches can "share" their allocation between a larger number of skiers.

This is good news for skiers. If we take women's skiing as an example we see that a coach can divide the "7" scholarships between a larger number of students. That could mean 12 partial scholarships instead of 7 full ride scholarships. If you are good enough of course then a full -ride scholarship is always a possibility

Skiing Helmets More and more skiers and snowboarders realize the need to protect themselves by wearing a helmet. It was once quite rare to see people wearing protective helmets on the slopes. A Vermont survey found that approximately 1/3 of skiers and snowboarders wore helmets on the slopes in the 2004-2005 season.
