The 1978 NCAA Skiing Championships were contested at the Cannon Mountain Ski Area in Franconia, New Hampshire, at the 25th 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. Six-time defending champions Colorado, coached by Bill Marolt, once again claimed the team national championship, finishing 31 points ahead of Wyoming in the standings. This was the ninth title for the Buffaloes.
