You step out of the trailer of cars into thin, cool air and a courtyard set against the serrated skyline of the Rockies. Pines edge the throwing lanes; wind tugs at your jacket and the mountains dare you to focus. The practice lanes face west, so as the sun drops behind Longs Peak the boards pick up a last, sharp glow.
