Sarah Wyly, an engineer officer with 41st Brigade Engineer Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (LI), reviews snow layers during the Avalanche Level One for Professional Rescuers course at Chalk Creek Trail, near Leadville, Colorado, Feb. 15, 2025. This intensive program provided the Soldiers with crucial skills for recognizing avalanche signs and rescuing victims. The cross-training accentuates the long-standing connection between the 10th Mountain Division and the National Ski Patrol, which dates back to World War II. During that time, NSP founder Charles Minot “Minnie” Dole played a key role in helping establish the 10th Mountain Division. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Samuel Bonney)
