Another weekday ride with W8tn4u yesterday... As usual, we were in the sun riding untracked snow.... I would expect nothing less!!
This time the group was much smaller which meant we could spend more time punishing each other...
Where did we go you ask? I won't tell you.
I stop by to pick up Roger in the morning.... We load his sled on the trailer and then I see that he already loaded a small chainsaw on the back of the sled.... I guess we're going to have fun today....
After cutting our way in, we start the second part of the trek....
I'm guessing this is what keeps most people away from this area...
I'm sure Yammadog would be in full on complain mode at this point...
If you made a mistake, then you'd be in the river ... Stopping in this snow just wouldn't happen...
Once past that area we were into the good stuff.
Then the carnage began.... After being separated for 20 minutes or so I heard over the radio "rolled down the hill"... I met up with Roger who showed me over to the top of the hill and this is what we saw...
Now the camera just doesn't pick up on the angle of the hill that well...
So we put on the ski brakes as it was really hard snow still and headed down to help.... Well, I just headed down to get better pictures.
This is what I see...
The I hear the story that the sled rolled sideways at least 20 times...!!
So I look up at the line and if you look closely you can see the arc from the right side of the hill to the left and then it stops at the tree... then the marks of the roll over on the way down....
The sled stops up against a tree... very lucky.
So Roger grabs the rope and ties it up to the tree while I take pictures of them pulling it around...
It did require a little logging
Christmas tree anyone??
A quick look at the sled and the only damage was some plastic scratches and his pride had a little bruising...
The carnage didn't end there though.......
