Sledding turns from free to fee at Minturn

Brief by Allen Best

Recreation – March 2005 – Colorado Central Magazines.

Near the old railroad town of Minturn, across Tennessee Pass from Leadville, is a place called Meadow Mountain. It once was a downhill ski area, but the Forest Service got the property in a land exchange. And so locals used it for several decades as a sledding hill, with parents taking their small children to the hill on weekends for cheap, outdoor entertainment.
