Leadville Ski Joring is an action-packed sport for skiers, horses, and cowboys and cowgirls.
It’s where a horse and rider race down snow-packed Harrison Avenue in Leadville’s downtown, pulling a skier who’s holding onto a rope. As the horse gallops, the skier flies over jumps and spears rings set up along the course. It’s a thrilling event to watch or join!
But that’s not all! At the 2019 Leadville Ski Joring and Crystal Carnival Weekend, you can also join mountain bike and Nordic ski races, paintball biathlon, and umpteen other kinds of winter fun!
