The 1975 NCAA Skiing Championships were contested at Durango Mountain ski area, north of Durango, Colorado, at the 22nd annual NCAA-sanctioned ski tournament to determine the individual and team national champions of men's collegiate alpine, cross country skiing, and ski jumping in the United States.[1][2][3]

Three-time defending champion Colorado, coached by alumnus Bill Marolt, captured their sixth national championship, finishing 68 points ahead of runner-up Vermont, the largest victory margin to date.

Repeat champions were Wyoming's Steiner Hybertsen (cross country), Colorado's Didrik Ellefsen (jumping), and Stig Hallingbye (nordic) of Wyoming; Hybertsen's win was his third consecutive. Denver's Peik Christensen reclaimed his slalom title of two years earlier; he entered the week as the two-time defending champion in alpine.

This was the last time for the downhill event at the NCAA championships; it was replaced by giant slalom in 1976.[1]
