Description

Park at the plow turnaround at the end of Road 3 outside of Leadville, from 7th street. Begin skinning up the road until you (likely) run into existing skintracks pointing towards the south / Ball Mountain. The skintrack will link up with Roads 1 & 1A, continuing to the summit snowfields of Ball Mountain. From the top or the top of the snow, transition & ski back down the drainage to where you parked, or run laps up here. Using the forest roads on descent will take you back to your vehicle.
