We headed over Cooper to get some skiing in for the kids. I suck at skiing, and end up puking half the time I do it (my kids enjoy this part however) so I decided to explore some of the area around Tennessee Pass. 
There is a pretty cool memorial to the 10th Mountain Division right there on the pass / continental divide.
I did a few miles on the snowshoes on the Colorado Trail to start. The shoes were probably not necessary because the trail was so hard packed from skiing and previous use. 
I came upon a few of the Divide Cabins that are run by the hut system. I might need to explore these a bit as possible family adventures, things to do with the Scouts.
I buzzed back to the Lodge at the ski hill to catch up with the family for lunch. I decided to head out on the Colorado Trail the other way for after lunch. And I dumped the snow shoes. This meant I was buzzing faster on some sections, but then on others I was much slower. I did a bit of stuff off trail and was post holing all the way to my crotch.
Four and change in the AM, six and change in the afternoon. Slow! First return to Leadville since LT100 (kids asked me about that when we passed Sixth and Harrison … “do your legs hurt when you go by there?”) and the air has not got any thicker.
