good read, no BS in reporting happend just as Lank reports, the pit photo says it ALL...RIP


might be a good idea for us all to re-evaluate our riding habits and areas.

We all have families to answer to, food for thought.

Rip. so sad.

crazy!

Tim (actmtncat) and Matt (colorado_matt) were both fully buried in separate slides on saturday. Both lucky to be alive

We sat and stared at the hills this weekend...then turned and went back onto the rolling treed hills....felt much better about riding there.

Didint look like Matt deployed the airbag. Did Tim?

No, he didn't. He tried to outrun it and ate chit at mach 10. He's even more lucky not to be broken from the crash.

Matt tried but could not fight thru the snow to get to the handle



not sure what side he had it on....or how adjusted he had the pack for him.

I know I had to switch handle sides and work on the position so I felt comfortable reaching it. Of course that all goes out the window once your fighting the forces of mother nature...but best case scenario.

Thats a good take away from this.

This season has me plain spooked. Too many things to close to home.

I'm glad they are ok.
Was there video on this I missed?
Spooky year for sure. I've had something happen to me or the group every ride this year...but I guess that's the norm for you guys
