Mountain healing: Wounded warriors find support, purpose at Granby Ranch

Ten wounded warriors finished a nine-week bootcamp with a full week learning to ski at Granby Ranch thanks to Military to the Mountains. The program works to push veterans out of their comfort zone and brought them to the mountains during the last week of March. Courtesy Austin Stewart / High Fives Foundation David Vobora and Roy Tuscany are two energetic, athletic guys with matching gray rings on the pointer fingers of their right hands. Vobora and Tuscany have loud voices and easygoing attitudes. They tell lots of jokes, but the rings on their saluting hands highlight a serious issue. These rings are a reminder of the veterans who commit suicide every day, a number that averaged 17.6 in 2018 according to the US Department of Veteran Affairs. That’s roughly 1.5 times the average of the civilian population.
