Proposed Fee Increase at Vail Pass Winter Recreation Area
10th Mountain needs your help. The US Forest Service is proposing to increase the fee at Vail Pass Winter Recreation Area from $6/person to $10/person and it needs to hear what you think of it. 10th Mountain thinks the fee increase reflects responsible stewardship of the area and will improve the experience at the six huts located in the area, and strongly supports the proposal. Please join us in this important effort by submitting informed comments to the USFS. For more information on the rate increase and how to submit your comments you can click here, Vail Pass Task Force Information.

Changes to 10th Mountain Division License Plate

The New 10th Mountain Divison License Plates
The 10th Mountain Specialty License Plates are issued by the State of Colorado on behalf of the 10th Mountain Division Foundation, a veterans organization that promotes the history and legacy of the 10th Mountain Division. This program helps further the mission of the Foundation and –to a lesser degree –benefit other 10th Mountain-related causes, including the 10th Mountain Division Hut Association which can typically receive about 20% of the new program’s contributions.

People who currently do not have 10th Mountain plates – and want them – are required to make a minimum $45 contribution to the Foundation. This a one-time fee for each vehicle and is not required for renewals. The State of Colorado charges an additional $50 which goes to the State as it does with all specialty plates, and normal vehicle registration fees still apply.

If you are a current 10th Mountain plate holder or are interested in purchasing 10th Mountain plates, please visit the Foundation’s website for an excellent explanation of the program as well as necessary forms for replacement or purchase of plates
