The 70th Leadville Ski Jorin
This year marks the 70th running of this time-honored competition in which “a horse and rider pull a skier at a fast pace through a course that has gates, jumps and rings. The skier is timed through the course, and penalties are assessed by missing gates or jumps, and by missing or dropping the baton or any of the rings.”
