Savannah McCarthy, 23, of Durango, Colorado races down harrison Avenue on her horse Money while pulling skier Brennen Counsell during the 75th annual Leadville Ski Joring weekend competition on March 5, 2023 in Leadville, Colorado. McCarthy often teams up with elite skiers and is an eight time Open Division winner, leading to her nickname The Queen of Harrison. Skijoring, which has its origins as a competitive sport in Scandinavia, has been adapted over the years to include a team made up of a rider and skier who must navigate jumps, slalom gates, and the spearing of rings for points. Leadville, with an elevation of 10,152 feet (3,094 m), the highest incorporated city in North America, has been hosting skijoring competitions since 1949. (Photo by Jason Connolly/AFP Photo)
