Soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division, members of the National Ski Patrol, and civilians embark on the Ninety-Pound Rucksack Challenge at Ski Cooper near Leadville, Colorado, on Feb. 18, 2026. The event commemorates the Division's 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 uphillski challenge honors the Division's legacy and its enduring impact on military history and outdoor recreation.
