Charles ‘Minnie’ Dole, a New Englander born in 1900, founded both the National Ski Patrol System — America’s first national ski safety organization — and Colorado’s famed Tenth Mountain Division, a military division during WWII. This lecture explores the roots of Minnie’s ideas, beginning in the East with his upbringing and time at Yale, where athletics and extracurricular life helped shape his perspective on manhood, service, and leadership. It traces how those values crystallized into his vision for the Tenth Mountain Division and how his recruitment efforts transformed Camp Hale — and later Aspen — into a western outpost of sociability and athleticism modeled on eastern collegiate life. Minnie Dole’s life story, set against twentieth-century socio-cultural dynamics, will offer a fresh perspective on the rise of recreational skiing in America’s interwar and postwar eras.
