‘’1OTH MOUNTAIN’’

‘’1OTH MOUNTAIN’’ (1998) Monumental Bronze, 14’ x 9’ x 5’ this monument was commissioned by Bert Bidwell a 10TH Mountain veteran of WW ll and Aspen resident. I did not know he was suffering from cancer at the time and he passed away 6 months after the dedication. He wanted to leave a memorial to honor both the men he served with and the town he loved.
The 1OTH MOUNTAIN memorial is located in Aspen, Colorado, and was dedicated to honor those who served in the 10th Mountain Division. Formed at the beginning of WW II, the 10th fought in Germany and Italy and was the United States’ first division of mountain ski troops. The core of the unit was comprised of 3,000 National Ski Patrol veterans and was trained in Leadville, Colorado.
