Default Flatlander heading to Boulder, CO -- need sage advice

Several folks mentioned maintaining your normal approach speeds. What
they did not mention is that your higher than usual groundspeed may
cause you to flare too high if you use that as a guide to flaring. So
just be aware of your indicated airspeed and don't let outside visual
references tempt you to flare high.

If your plane is capable, get a knowledgeable instructor to accompany
you to Leadville.
