Capt. Maxwell Burbidge, the Fire Support Officer for 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division, uses a slope meter to measure the angle of a slope during avalanche training provided by the National Ski Patrol near Leadville, Colorado, on Feb. 17, 2024. Slope meters gauge and measure whether terrain is prone to avalanches. This intensive program equipped them with essential skills, including safe avalanche response, expert transceiver operation, effective probing methods, efficient shoveling techniques, and the ability to locate buried victims even without transceivers. Just like their predecessors who trained in this very terrain in the 1940s, our Soldiers today are mentally and physically tough, prepared to execute operations in complex terrain anywhere in the world.
