OK - no one knows shit at this point...
But I am still pissed.
It may be the beer it may be the scotch (I've had a few of each) -- But I am mad.
This is unnecessary, no one should die for this.

100+ in the area. Really want to see the area on GE. Know where it is?
Didn't this happen a few years ago up in BC at some sledneck rally?
Based on the photos on CBC, it looks to be under Calvinist Pk. In the Renshaw drainage. 52 28' 16"N, 120 3' 22"W. Waiting for the SAR report to review the details.Quote:

Word is it was the steep bowl up to spirit lake... I imagine multiple riders hanging out in the run out zone and at least a couple on the feature. Snow was very active the weekend before and is still pulling to ground in the north rockies.

follow up on the big iron aviy
Riding a chairlift sometimes after the incident a sled industry person told me that 70% of the destryed sleds involved were long lined by RCMP into a compound where they were not claimed ... it seems the sleds had funny serial numbers ;)
