hope all turns out ok,imo opening area up for people who know the area would be the fastest search procedure,since it sounds like these guys dont have equipment to survive having the fastest search would be best result. the rental company did no wrong imo for they are adults who would of went else were to rent if declined from one rental place. its upto people to be prepared. scotford posted some good points about being prepared,the one i dont do is list radio info on vehicle which is a good idea..... time will tell what the outcome is,hoping for the best

Here's hoping these two young men are found safe and sound. I have heard of the "toilet bowl" and many a sledder getting stuck down there. It's been a few year's since i have ridden Boulder, is the toilet bowl adjacent to or drop off from the Sugar bowl?

Hope they are ok, lots of slides yesterday.

What kinda stuff is sliding?
The fresh or down to the mid December sun crust/hoar.

Not sure what Dan was seeing, but we noticed all the fresh stuff sitting on a thin layer of ice which seems to have fell friday night. Seen several shallow slides

Glad to hear that they were found safe.

Very good news that they were found.

This might be a silly question....... But why wouldn't a rental company have a GPS on their sleds? Not only for reasons like this, but just in general?

Good idea. I'd have one of the little chips on there for sure.

 

[Trukker]

This way they can charge an extra day rental
