A reasonably priced approach for a troop to go downhill skiing is to ski early in or at the end of the season and be willing to ski in one of the smaller ski areas. Troops often stay at the First Presbyterian Church Youth Center in Leadville. The building is heated with restrooms and showers; there are two large rooms, and sleeping is on the floor with a pad and sleeping bag bedding you provide. A large kitchen with all kinds of equipment is available. Rates at the church as of 1995 are $6.00 per person per night. The Lake County Recreational Complex is open to the public (in winter months it is usually open from 12 noon until 7:30 PM) with a hot tub, swimming pool, and gym; it is only three blocks north of the church youth center. Group rates are available at the Recreation Center if requested (10-12 people are needed for group rates). Bring another $5.00 per Scout for this fun activity. Ski Cooper is just north of Leadville at Tennessee Pass and has attractive early-season or end-of-the-season rates. Phone numbers for contacts: Ski Cooper 1 (719) 486-3684 (administrative) 1 (719) 486-2277 (tickets) Presbyterian Church 1 (719) 486-0673 (church office) Lake Co. Recreation 1 (719) 486-0917 Notes: Reservations should be made well in advance (6 months) for renting the youth center at the church. Also, check with the Recreation Center for seasonal changes in hours.
