Switched up my ski rack to a lower profile ratchet strap setup. Also, less sharp pieces of steel. The old setup sure could hold a lot, but was also quite hazardous. Hopefully it will snow down low before long!

Looks totally fine.
now
Jesus.........
Can we talk about how good sleds are when avy conditions are that^? :D
I've enjoyed making meadows into fun when hills want to kill you on skis.
No dice in there. Did you go up towards the regular sled lap? Wow!
We ripped the shit out of the heli run, 60ish cms of light blower pow.... to much snow and not enough grade in the trees
Thats the beauty of sled skiing. Always plan b.Quote:

So...umm...is this bad?
(Pro Tip: Insurance is a lot cheaper than this!!)
Nice work... You get hurt? Please tell more...Quote:

Glad to hear you suffered no injuries . Good thing for insurance for sure.
Fuck man! You got like what, a hundred miles on that thing?
Insurance or not, that sucks. Glad you weren't attached.
Yeah, about 100 miles on er! Honestly - part of learning...
I hope that insurance pays....off
See what they want for you to buy it back. You could still make some money off what's not destroyed on there, namely the brand new freakin motor. Assuming it's totaled which it looks like it is.
and dibs on the skis ;)
Hopefully you're not out too long. Walking into the same dealership and buying another one within a month would be pretty funny though.
I doubt she's totaled. Bumper, a-arm, pipe, can, carbon fiber over structure, hood, plastics...Quote:

I was envisioning a much harder impact based on the pic.
Damn! now your new sled's all cockeyed
Go hit another one at like 40. Quick! :D
Yeah - maybe it was more like 20-25 now that I think about it? Picture attached to show what happened... http://www.tetongravity.com/?ACT=65&...tream_hero.jpgQuote:

'Cause I've done that too.
Tunnel, bulkhead, plastics, bumper, pipe, can, motor is crooked...
Total at $7,500. Going to take it to another shop. I'd like this thing to total out. Anyone have any experience with that?
J
Ha! I've always heard if repair is around 70% of value they total it out. It has to be close...
Side note - if anyone hears of any smokin' deals on a 14 hold over or (sigh) a 15 Pro let me know! Sticking with new. Can't go back to used ;)
[Jack Nicholson]YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE NEW!!! [/Jack Nicholson]
Apparently not! Hard to find another hold over - still not 100% sure it is totaled but my guess is yes.
Broke trail into Turtle zone outside Revy yesterday and found this...
