Title	Toboggan slide, Leadville Ice Palace time
Summary	View of West Seventh Street toboggan slide, set up for Leadville, Colorado's 1896 Winter Crystal Carnival outside the Ice Palace. H.C. Dimick, contractor, built the wooden plank with a run of 900 feet in length and a pitch of 48 feet. A group of spectators look down the snow- covered run possibly after a toboggan makes a run. An arc light on a pole above the run is one of many installed to shine multicolored light. An American flag flies on a pole downslope. Wood frame gabled residences, smelters, church steeples, business blocks, the courthouse tower roof, and the eastern mountain range are in the background.
