Well I would imagine a lot of injuries were from sleds hitting people. and much of the sled damage was from sled to sled contact. The front end of that XP looks like it still wants to keep riding.

Are these sleds & parts for salvage now?
Or waiting on insurance claims yet?

hopefully everyone had insurance

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! What carnage!!

 

[Orrin]

Holy crap, some of those sleds are just torn apart like tissue paper. Opens the eyes to see the carnage.

talk about a reality check - really puts a face on the power of the snow. Good to keep these images in mind for the next time one is tempted to do something stupid - not that any of us ever are...

Turbo Slide? Was this the one in Revelstoke? My sympathy to all the riders and their family's. I'm still learning to mountain ride and this kind of carnage scares the sh** out of me. I have too many friends that make it to the mountains more than I can and always have them in the back of my mind when I hear about these things. Play smart out there guys and gals.

We saw them when they were flown off the mtn. Jam packed with snow everywhere. Tunnels lifted because of the snow rammed up between the track and tunnel. The pics. taken then should be shown in avy classes.

Amazing, simply amazing, the power of the avalanche........bent, twisted pieces of metal and plastic.......insurance companies will be busy for a while.
