The article highlights Western through the story of alumnus Cam Smith, who discovered ski mountaineering after moving to Gunnison and went on to become one of the United States’ top skimo athletes and a serious Olympic contender. His Western experience, access to the Gunnison Valley, and participation in local races like the Grand Traverse helped launch him into elite international competition as the sport makes its Olympic debut.
