As the season winds down and i look back all in all it was a great year. Unfortunatly we lost some of our own to the snow again but thats not where iam going to today.
Had a couple of experiences with fellow sledders that makes me shake my head. Allen creek in mid jan, ran into a group of guys from loyd that i dont really know but have rode with on 4 or 5 occasions, friends of friends, you know the drill. one on a turbo m had blown a intake boot and was out for the weekend. I had a spare Cat in the trailer so i said"no problem head down rob one off my sled just replace it when you get home". Well guess what, Never heard from him again. Your welcome regan, your a class act.
Couple days ago i was riding with a couple guys i met in the parking lot as i was up a day before the rest of my crew. We dropped down the elevator on to the dixon lake when dan's sled started to give trouble. At the same time we ran into a couple guys sled boarding on the glacier, had lunch with these guys, shot the bs for a bit.as we worked on dans sled. When dan tried to go up the elevator his sled cut out and he had a wreck. Broken bars
, some carnage ect. We talked about a helicopter ect as to how to get this sled out. Well our new found buddy pipes up that he will SHOW us the Goat path out if we give him 200$????. I told him i know the path. His reply,well its 200 for them to help us. I told him it would cost him 200 bucks so i wouldnt beat the crap out of him when we got down to the parking lot. These two clowns got on their sleds and left.
Long story short, we did some rigging and rode the sled out ourselves
What is wrong with people? If anyone knows of a 40ish selfproclamied sled/ski guide from valemont who rides a older summit rev i would like to have a chat with him.
