Fire on the Mountain

I just got done watching a documentary about the 10th Mountain Division called Fire on the Mountain. All I knew about the 10th Mountain Division was that their name was on a bunch of huts in Colorado. I had no idea they had such an impact on ski industry, like creating the first snowmobiles and snowcats and designing ski resorts. Not to mention, some 10th Mountaind Division alum went on to found Nike. Oh yeah, in WWII they also kicked the Germans of Riva Ridge.

If you're into skiing, and you are as clueless as I was about the 10th's place in history, check out this film. It's available for streaming on Netflix.
