Looks like a fun day to be downtown.

Nice town. Motorcycle didn't like the altitude much though

I would love to try this one day. I also find it funny that 99% of the skiers had on helmets, yet I only saw 1 rider wearing one.

Yes, I brought helmets into this.

I think this would be fun, (I dont ski)

but I would use a breast collar with attached traces, put a backstrap and a crouper on my saddle, add trace carriers and then have my skier attach his rope. Like the roller blade-er in the german or dutch video where the horse and rider are jumping.


The skiers in this video have the rope attached to the horn.

I would LOVE to do this!

If they still do this in Leadville, I might have to make a short road trip this winter!!

Fun fact: Leadville, CO is the highest incorporated town in the US with an elevation of 10,152' (and yes, I had to look that number up )

Hee, hee, don't drive 24 north out of Leadville towards I-70 after dark. The switchbacks on that 30 miles of road will knock your socks off! Leadville itself it situated in a beautiful area!!

I won't drive any of those roads in the dark!! I almost filled my shorts coming down 34 from Estes Park in the dark

Cool! Ski joring with a bit of ski-jousting thrown in!

I went ski-joring once, in the 70s, much more gently. Ton of fun. We kind of borrowed a horse that was, at the time, long listed for the 3-day team. Can't divulge, Jack LeGoff would come back from the grave and nail us. But we had the owner's sister's permission!

Every winter my son wants to give it a try, but he's always doing something else when the snow is primo at the barn.
