In 2025, we proudly celebrated a decade of impact through Military to the Mountains at Palisades Tahoe and built powerful new memories at Solitude Mountain Resort. Through multiple weeks of training, two transformative weeks on snow – 31 veterans were introduced to the healing power of skiing and snowboarding—many for the very first time.
Palisades Tahoe
March 16–21, 2025, marked the 10-year anniversary of Military to the Mountains (M2M) at Palisades Tahoe—where it all started. This year, 13 of the 19 participants were new to snow, stepping into a brand-new chapter of their recovery.
Thanks to a multiple-week training program with Adaptive Training Foundation, and City of Reno, the veterans arrived confident and strong. Group rides sparked big smiles and deeper conversations, and the entire week was fueled by community spirit and gratitude. Great fun and High Fives were had at Woodward Tahoe and with Achieve Tahoe.

Solitude Resort
From April 7–12, 2025, the momentum continued at Solitude Resort in Utah, where all 12 participants experienced snow for the first time. And what a first time it was—blue skies, great snow, and three full days of skiing and snowboarding with Wasatch Adaptive Sports.
The Solitude crew brought the same grit to the mountain that they had poured into their training at Adaptive Training Foundation. Along the way, the group made a memorable stop at Smith Optics HQ, meeting the team that helps keep them looking and feeling strong on the slopes. Click through the photo album HERE.

Military to the Mountains is about more than snow sports. It’s about rediscovering strength, building community, and rewriting what’s possible after service. This year’s two-week journey reaffirmed what we already know—movement is medicine. To every veteran who showed up ready to challenge themselves, to our partners who continue to go above and beyond, and to our Ohana who made it all possible—thank you. Here’s to 10 years down, and many more mountains ahead.
