Hi all, I'm interested in making a trip to PB this weekend and wondering if there is snow on the mineral belt trail. I'm hoping to do some X-country skiing. Thanks!

I'm looking for a sauna or hot tub I can use this winter after riding. I've looked for gyms with one, but haven't found anywhere I can buy a membership that has a sauna or a hot tub. I would be happy to buy access to someone's private one too. Anyone know a gym or somewhere that has the goods?

So weird, I looked at every different campground and none of them have water this year - the website just says to bring your own and that water isn't available for 2024. No mention of construction or new pipes or anything

The fire is bumming me out. Hope we don't wake up to a bigger one.

Driving through on a roadtrip, wondering if any of the dispersed sites are campable right now. For reference I have a subaru outback and lived in Alaska so I am comfortable with cold

Any advice on best organizations to contact in Leadville to find rentals. Zillow and similar websites have few to no options.

I have a 1 acre plot of land in Lake county that I want to get a small modern cabin on. I’ve come across a number of pre-fab structures online that look pretty great in the ~$75K range, but have spoken with a number of builders that are steering me away from the pre-fabs and saying it will be about $450 /sq ft to build and not worth the effort to build anything less than 1,500 sq ft.

I understand the need to grade the land, pour the foundation, and put in septic/leech field will be expensive regardless of the structure, but is it feasible to keep costs significantly lower with a pre-fab?

Would a GC/builder be interested in this kind of project?

Driving back from Summit County ( Hwy 91) from work and a truck is trying to pass a line of 8 people on a solid double line while its dark. The truck then proceeds to ride very close to the rear of my car while flashing his brights off and on when I have more people in front of me.

Are there any tips on dealing with this kind of behavior on the mountain?

I don't understand how there could be such a disregard for others' safety.

I would love to grow poppies in my yard next summer and I’m new to gardening (and also to Leadville). Online sources say to plant them in the fall, but others recommend early spring. Does anyone know what’s the best planting time for Leadville?

I am visiting Leadville later this year with my Girlfriend for her birthday. Does anyone know of any fun classes we can take? Wine / whiskey tasting, beer making, some type of art class? Anything along those lines would be great. Thanks!

Spent some time looking into the development of the Railyard.

7 of the 14 commercial lots have either been reserved or sold, does anyone know what stores/businesses might have bought these? I can't seem to find anything anywhere at the moment.

Hi there! This will be my first time in Leadville for Christmas. Any must-do's? What are your town traditions?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! Very excited to be moving to Leadville in a few weeks. We would love to bring our sleds with us but have nowhere to store them. I've reached out to the storage facilities in the area and all are full.

Any ideas for places where we could park our snowmobile trailer for the winter? Is there anyone with a big property that rents space out unofficially? I'd love any suggestions!

Thanks in advance!

I'm considering switching from Spectrum to Vero Networks to get more fiber in my diet. Anyone have experience with Vero?

Hey yall, I'm currently in the process of moving to Leadville from Fort Collins. I'm just curious as to if yall know of any good housing in the area, preferably apartments? I've been looking at Eagles Nest, but was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. Thank you

Hello everyone!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local Colorado family lineages and stories through vital records, census records, and newspapers.

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their personal Colorado family history. I create family trees, ancestral maps, and historical road trip itineraries based on YOUR personal family history! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage and wonderful knowledge pass down to future generations.

LINK TO INTEREST FORM: Family History Interest Form

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

• Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
• Custom ancestral mapping showing your approximate ethnic admixture
• Most common causes of death in your family history
• United States migration mapping showing how your ancestors migrated throughout the country
• Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
• Most popular professions and careers in your family history
• Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions to several newspaper websites)

I have a degree in Anthropology and have spent several years working for a professional genealogy company. I have been working as an individual genealogist for about 6 years. If you have any questions about my research, please fill out an interest form or email: heritagehuntersgenealogy@gmail.com

For those of you with ancestry outside of Colorado, please send me a message. I’d be happy to help you or direct you to a better suited genealogist. Thanks!

I need to get a dress altered, and have absolutely zero skills to do it myself.

I'm about to make a cross-country trip and was just hoping for an inspection to make sure things are ok.

Hello local people of Leadville!

We recently moved here and are curious who you y'all are using for trash/recycling services, or if you are going to the dump/recycling center?

Any recommendations, thoughts, or experiences are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

For some reason only approved users could post, I just changed it sorry about that

Looking at some property on acreage outside city limits around Twin Lakes. I've gone through every document I could find on Lake County's page but can't find any simple, direct info on keeping a small flock of chickens. Anyone have good current info?

Thanks!

I wish they had a Leadville 100 hike. My feet won't hold up on a run, but what a cool adventure it'd be. Put a 50 hour time limit on it and make a new event. I think there would be plenty of people to do it!

Anyone know anything about the new Taco Bell? I heard they wanted it done by the end of the year, but it doesn’t look like they’ve done anything but rope the lot off. Is it still happening?
