The 10th Mountain Division Memorial Ski Trail is a new cross country ski and snowshoe trail dedicated to America's first Ski Troops of WW II who first trained at Paradise on Mt. Rainier, Washington in 1941. Paradise is the birthplace of the Ski Troops and the 87th Infantry Regiment from which the 10th Mountain Division was formed. This trail is dedicated as a memorial trail honoring their birthplace and all those who served in the 10th Mountain Division. The trail boasts with magnificent world class views of Mt. Rainier and is accessible during the winter months for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. The trail is groomed using Snowcats and Snowmobiles and is located 5 miles from the 92 Road SnoPark, or 1 mile above the Copper Creek Ski Hut, on the Mount Tahoma Trails Ski Hut-to-Hut Trail System located in Ashford, Washington.
Thank you for this moving tribute to the original 10th Mountain Division men. My Dad and Uncle were both at Camp Hale, my Uncle went to Italy and, fortunately, made it back home.
