Avy takes a good friend....

[jsledder]

XC Man...... what can I say... He was a hell of a guy, hell of a dad, hell of a friend. Hard to find the words.

Not many details right now other than it sounds like he was the only one, one other was found and is reportedly doing okay.

[Viper5]

My heartfelt sympathy to the friends & families who have to endure such a loss....

 

[live2ride]

Oh my......my prayers are with all involved....I have chatted with him many times, a nice man who loved his family

 

[skibreeze]

This is more bad news, I hope that folks will think about these deaths when they ride. I have changed my riding habits after seeing so many lost. R.I.P.

What is his name, is he from South Dakota? What town?

 

[Dogmeat]

Wife and kids are surrounded by family and friends and she is doing fairly well, all things considered.

First off, my sincerest and deepest condolences.

Is the same Washington one in the other thread, or another one?

I absolutely HATE reading these types of threads. It truly breaks my heart.

He's always been a Polaris man and last year bought a new M8. Another one of his good friends and riding buddies, the one that was in the fatal farm accident a couple weeks ago, was also a Polaris man. Now they are both kicking back in the real deep stuff, Dustin is giving Dale a hard time about that Cat I can assure you that.

First of all, my prayers to Dale's family and friends.

I was involved in this accident and there were no sleds moving at the time of the slide, wasnt even a sled running at the time of the slide. 2 were completely burried. I was the one that was "supposibly" seriously injured. They thought I may of had a broken neck. Not the case. I hate how media and authorities come to conclusions.

Once again my thoughts and prayers. And everyone ride smart with these warm temps.

 

[AkSummit]

Hate this type news.

R.I.P.

 

[Modedmach1]

Sorry to hear... Thoughts & prayers go out to family & friends.
