probaly cause they were drunk. just my guess as you can tell the groomer piled snow behind it so they cant take it out. just wait until the snow starts melting. it wont be parked where the owners left it.
I saw that a couple weeks back. It's 14 miles from the sno-park to Conrad and i would bet that rig is another 3-5 miles up the rode. It looks like it's been there all winter to me. Probably drove in long before the road was closed, got stuck or broke down, and couldn't get it out. And if you recall our snow came in fast in the fall so they probably had no chance to recover it if the timing was right.

Yeah you are probably right but it is more fun to think some a$$hole did it.
I feel bad for the guy that has to go get it after it has been sitting in the snow all winter.
I don't remember seeing it the last time I was up that way and I don't think the snow level has dropped that much up there. I had heard something about a robbery at the ski resort and the guys got away by driving up a snowmobile trail. They ended up having to walk out and got caught. Didn't know if that happened to be their rig.
It was the rig from the White Pass robbery. They went up the groomed trail to get away and got stuck with the groomer not too far behind. The operator called the ORV sheriff and told him the truck was up there. The sheriff told him to get out of there and meet him at the snow park. Before he left he put a 20 to 25 ft berm in front of the truck to make sure it didn't go anywhere. This story is from the last groomers meeting from Sheriff Dan Cypher, the ORV Deputy for Ahtanum, White & Chinook Pass.
Bpaper said they lost the cops by heading up a snowmobile trail. I don't know how or when it got there, but i know i was there in early january and it wasn't there so they must have driven up the groomed trail.

The snow is set up pretty good. The trail is rock hard when it is set up....I think if they could get over the berm and kept up speed they might make it back there.
Well, maybe not all the way back there.

I don't know. That's about a 15 mile trip, steady climb up, and the S curves are steep, and the last mile after you turn onto 1070 is really steep....for a rig.
The way I heard it, the guys ditched behind the airport, and they caught one there, and one made it to Rimrock Retreat and got snagged there.
Who know's, stranger stuff has happened. B
