yes. We got the sleds out on Friday and they are both fine...started first pull and managed to play with them for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, allthough we do have the chopper sled recovery on multiple gopro's; we were told directly by the pilot that we are not allowed to show the footage...
Wohoo...my insurance is covering the chopper lift to get them out! They consider it a tow and there is no deductable. Going to get them back this week.
Well here is the update as promised.....Our sleds can be airlifted out and yes it is considerably cheaper than replacing them! We have begun to coordinate a "sled rescue" for sometime this week, (want to get them out before the snow makes it impossible). Currently waiting to hear from the...
