This is what happened after the Boss canyon cabin picture. take notice of my Pro's running board whoops

Can't wait to hear. Looks like you just signed up for a WRP Wide Board Kit.
Yeah, can't wait to hear. Ouch!
The cabin picture rocks. I got one of a cabin we ride by. It's not covered like that one but the most snow we've ever seen on it. I took pictures but they asked me not to share them. My pictures (unfortunately) had a sled on top of of the cabin.
Nobody we knew!!!!!

I hope you have insurance, Look closely it doesn't take much to slightly twist the whole dang tunnel these days....costly repair for sure.
Ya I have insurance on the sled.
Now for the story, towards the end of the day as we were coming out of Boss I seen a good chute that looked possible to climb all the way out of so I lined up waited for the group to see me go up and off I went. The Pro did in deed go all the up and over and I came back down, that's when a guy in our group Garth decided to try it on an 05 rev 800 and he only made it about 3/4 of the way up and lost all his speed, as he went to turn out he didn't have enough speed to face the sled down hill so it ended up rolling and eventually pinned him underneath the sled.
I hurried and fired the Pro up and climbed up just above Garth's sled and sunk mine in to help Garth. He was pinned under his sled for about 2 minutes total by the time I was able to pull him out from under it. He suffered a cut above his eye and a real nice shiner to go with it. I knew from looking at his face that he would need medical attention so we got his sled pointed down hill first and then went up to get mine pointed down hill.
As we pulled the front end of my sled around it ended up taking off down the hill so I jumped on the front ski and got about 50 feet below Garths sled and pulled it over on it's side, as I got it stopped I heard them yell so I turned around and had enough time to jump off my sled as Garth's sled rear ended mine carrying them down the hill and into the tree you see pictured
I don't know how Garth's sled ended up chasing mine it's just one of them freak accidents.
most of the damage was done to the Pro seems how it had a tree on the front end and then a rev on the rear end, hopefully the insurance hurries and get's things done so I can get back on the snow!!

New Xp, totaled... New Pro... Totaled???
Good thing you got a backup ride yo... that Stratus should take you places

We actually went through Garth's insurance seems how his sled hit mine. So at least I only have one sled totaled on my insurance from last year. I was hoping they were going to fix the Pro but as I just sent some pics to the guy who is in charge of the claim he said that the adjuster said it's a total loss, which sucks because that puts me on the 07 rev or like mex said the damn 88 fan cooled sled
I'm still hoping they will fix the Pro seems how it just needs a tunnel and a shock and some a'arms and and and.... haha
The biggest thing about the whole situation is that Garth is alright
