You don't have to fly down there. Your altimeter goes down to 28.10.
You know the field elevation is 6200. Altimeter setting right now at
COS is 30.53. Therefore when set to 28.10 your altimeter will read
approx 3770.

I fly out of FTG (5500 MSL) in Denver. Having not much else to do
this week, I'll fly down to COS (6200) and see what happens with
the Kollsman. Difficult to get to Leadville right now (altho
it's only about 100 m from COS due to the high winds. Over
the weekend the winds in the mountains were clocked at 125 mph
in some areas. No passes for me right now!
