Rider Carl Gomez races down Harrison Avenue as skier Ben Southworth airs out a jump during the 75th annual Leadville Ski Joring weekend competition in Leadville, Colorado on March 4, 2023. 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)
