This bench is on Aspen Mountain near the top of the Ruthie's lift.  The quote is attributed to Hunter S. Thompson.  According to the following Aspen Times article, one of the creators of the Hunter S. Thompson Shrine at Snowmass "who visited Thompson's home told of seeing a colored light display above his television that repeated the message, 'At the top of the mountain, we are all snow leopards.'"  https://www.aspentimes.com/news/good-doctor-enshrined-at-snowmass/
