Charlie Luceno, with the 10th Mountain Division Living History Group and Descendants, showcases the equipment used by the 10th MTN DIV Soldiers during WWII before the Ninety Pound Rucksack Challenge Feb. 18, 2025, at Ski Cooper, near Leadville, Colorado. The event commemorates the Division's 80th anniversary of the night-time assault on Riva Ridge in northern Italy, a pivotal moment during World War II that contributed to the Allies' victory in Europe. Organized on the anniversary of this significant event, the uphill ski challenge honors the Division's legacy and its enduring impact on military history and outdoor recreation.
