The 1958 NCAA Skiing Championships were contested at the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme, New Hampshire at the fifth annual NCAA-sanctioned ski tournament to determine the individual and team national champions of men's collegiate alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and ski jumping in the United States.{{cite web|title=NCAA Skiing Championships Results |url=http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/skiing_champs_records/2012-13/2012-13_ski_rec.pdf |work=NCAA|publisher=NCAA.org|accessdate=July 6, 2016}}

Venue

This year's championships were held February 28 to March 2 in New Hampshire at the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme, hosted by nearby Dartmouth College.{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=YKkrAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Iv0FAAAAIBAJ&pg=6934%2C108289 |work=Nashua Telegraph |location=(New Hampshire) |agency=(AP photo) |title=Wins slalom event |date=March 3, 1958 |page=8}}

The fifth edition, these were the first NCAA championships in New Hampshire and the second in the East; the 1955 events were in central Vermont at Northfield, about {{convert|50|mi|spell=in}} northwest of Lyme.

The championships returned to Dartmouth Skiway in 1964, but rain forced the transfer of the alpine events to Cannon Mountain; the next time at Dartmouth was in 2003. The vertical drop of the Skiway in 2020 was approximately {{convert|970|ft|round=5}}.
