Members of the US Army’s 10th Mountain Division were in Vail, Colorado on February 23rd to compete in the 6th annual Ski Trooper Cup.
The multi-faceted competition held at Gondola One is designed to test a wide range of physical and tactical skills and honor the 10th Mountain Division’s alpine fighting forefathers. The competition combined elements of strength, endurance, and military-specific tasks in the context of winter warfare and alpine environments.
