Fisher on the Mineral Belt—10,606 feet. |
First, load up everyone and drive to Leadville to find ski-able snow. (Not shown, M. and Shelby). Ski until tired on the perfectly groomed and completely free Mineral Belt Trail. Yes, it was snowing sporadically.

The "State Highway Department" is now a bar, actually, like Phil's Radiator Service down in Pueblo. |
Drive back down into the "banana belt" of Buena Vista, where the long-declining downtown is starting to recover as an entertainment district.

Supper. |
Have some "New Mexican pizza"—a basic pepperoni pizza plus roasted green chiles — at the Eddyline brew pub in the "New Urbanist" South Main area. Also drink some amber lager.
Stop for a cocktail at the new Deerhammer micro-distillery in downtown BV. Consider attending the Ark Valley Libation Society event in Salida, where all the micro-brewers and distillers will be represented, but decide that we're tired and the dogs need to be fed.
