The experience
What's special
Leadville Ski Joring has run since 1949 on Historic Harrison Avenue in Leadville, Colorado, at 10,200 feet, and the organizer calls it the birthplace of the modern skijoring competition. A horse and rider pull a skier at high speed through a course of gates, jumps and rings, with penalties for missing a gate or jump or dropping the baton or a ring, and teams are made up by random draw. Each Saturday and Sunday opens with a pancake breakfast at the Elks Lodge and the Calcutta auction of teams, then the open, sport and novice divisions race from high noon, with a kids event on Saturday where children are pulled behind snowmobiles. The 79th edition runs March 6 and 7, 2027, and it is free for spectators.
