Leadville Ski Joring

Ski Joring in Leadville, Colorado mixes the excitement of ski jumping, slalom water skiing and horsemanship; all down a snow covered avenue lined with beautiful old buildings and cheering crowds. If you have never seen this sport before, this video gives a great overview of the preparation, the athletes and the supporters that make it happen. Imagine being pulled behind a horse at a dead gallop on a snowy runway, snow chunks thrown by flashing hooves blinding you as you navigate tight gates, huge jumps and gather rings on a baton at 60 miles per hour: this is Leadville ski joring at its finest.
