Soldiers from 10th Mountain Division (LI) and Colorado National Guard train in an avalanche course taught by members of the National Ski Patrol at Chalk Creek Trail, near Leadville, Colorado, Feb. 15, 2025. This cross training highlights the enduring relationship between the 10th Mountain Division and the National Ski Patrol dating back to World War II when NSP founder Charles Minot “Minnie” Dole helped establish the 10th Mountain Division. This also establishes proficiency in an avalanche environment, furthering the unit's mountaineering skills. (U.S. Army video by Sgt. Samuel Bonney)
