This Years Vets Ride consisted of 171 riders consisting of numerous backgrounds and branches.  Employees and friends from ESI (equaling 18+ total volunteers) led 2x groups of Vets around Grand Lake.  The day consisted of lots of new deep snow to explore and play in, a group photo with all the vets together on the mountain, to end of the day happy hour and catering from a nearby restaurant. 

None of this could have been done without Mile High Snowmobile Club, Gforce Powersports, Lockheed Martin, On the Trail Rentals, Albany Lodge and many more!  Sleds were trailered in from Steamboat and even Wyoming just to make sure that there were enough sleds for the vets to get out on and enjoy.  Truly an amazing feat to get these many sleds, people, gear and many other items together and on the mountain at once!

"As an avid snowmobiler this is one of my favorite days each year, to go out and show our great wilderness that these veterans and numerous others have sacrificed so much for our freedoms to enjoy this sport. Having everyone lined up to see the pure volume of people is really cool and leaves me speechless. I hope that this event continues to grow to show more of these well-deserving vets that should see and enjoy the beauty of what they have fought for. We can never repay them for their sacrifices that they have made for this country and their families, being able to tour these vets around the mountain is one of the smallest pieces of gratitude of giving back that I am honored to do"
