2018/19 Snowy Range Snow Conditions
- Thread starter Himark
- Start date
There was a group of guys lost for a few days in the big horns years ago. They all smoked a bowl. Then dropped into a set up, icy bowl. [emoji1787]. They couldn’t get out.
Hearing on radio they got down in that bottom and got stuck and couldn’t get back out. Will hopefully hear more soon.
At 1700MST they said they were all clear and headed to green rock parking.
At 1702, Carbon SAR is all clear and headed to chains end.

Damn t motion anyway. [emoji57]
I would head to Jaye’s steakhouse in Laramie. Order a miller light heated up. Right after a steaming hot 4 hour shower.... Lmao.
That's funny!!
Well, this [not so] little episode reminded me that I was going to fetch one of them satelite texting thing-a-ma-jigs this fall. After nigh on 20 yrs I let my sat phone expire this year. If these guys would'a had one of these, there would have been oodles of other optional endings to this h'yah story. Any of which involving them getting out on Day 2, and Mamma not fretting much.
Just ordered one today with 2 day delivery. I guess since it aint snowing much anywhere, we won't be going anywhere this weekend, so it will git here in plenty of time.

If ya get an InReach just make sure you pay attention to billing and the auto renewal feature.. you can suspend the service when not in use. I think my service automatically turned back on a few months earlier than I wanted...
I agree it’s a must have in he mountains!
Also glad those guys are ok!
Hope they share the story!

Sorry to move off topic a bit - does it save that much money to turn it on and off for just the sled season? (activation fees etc) I just have the base plan and my bill is $12.73 a month or something like that. I leave it on all year and take it boating/camping/ATV riding etc.
Back on topic - I am glad they found these guys. I have been riding the Snowy's for a long time and this is the longest duration I can remember any snowmobilers stranded on the hill. I hope this "record" stands forever now...
feed those fox fatdog when you out there . they will come right up to your door
You have to know Chad to understand him or should I say Ox speak...
Hope they are ok. I've ridden that area its rugged with deep holes. Just had a discussion with a family member that lives out there he was ask to go with search and rescue but couldn't do to a family emergency. Glad they made it out. They are more fortunate than the family a few years ago.
This is what I get with those coordinates....
Where did you git those co-ordinates?
When I plug those in - that doesn't look like a "stuck" spot.
Near as I can tell, it looks like the top of a gently rolling hill?

Nothing like that deep dark hole that Slayer posted.
