As a skier growing up in Colorado, my awareness of the 10th Mountain Division started at a young age. My understanding of who the soldiers actually were and their legacy didn't really kick in until I was in high school, however. And even then, I was not completely aware of their impact on American history and their role in the skiing boom — or realize my connection to it.
It was history, and as a student, I thought history was boring. Right? Wrong! Very wrong! As an adult, it has become my mission to change the perception of this.
