The Ninety-Pound Rucksack Challenge is an annual ski mountaineering event that honors the legacy of the 10th Mountain Division, their historic World War II ascent of Riva Ridge, and their post-war contributions to American skiing.
Participants across the country recreate the 10th’s legendary climb by ascending 1,500 to 2,500 feet and skiing back down. This event is a chance to celebrate history, community, and the spirit of adventure embodied by the 10th.
The Challenge is brought to you by the producers of the Ninety-Pound Rucksack podcast, which recounts the Division’s origin story and its impact on outdoor recreation in America.
