Real Mod sled

Those XP'S actually look good without the winshield , This one looks like a real mod sled .... Any word on the owner of the sled ! Is he ok ???

 

[Good to Go]

There ain't a enough pucker for that...dang

I would have thought it would look worse honestly, not like it matters since its a write off anyways.

 

[dragonrider08]

i think he overshot his landing

 

[HM8]

right

1300 feet down, rockslide, avalanche, overnight on its side,heli to get it out, looks like a squished beer can.... yet started right up on the truck.

So is it made out of Coors Light or Bud Light cans?

[Snowmobile Kid]

Gives me the sh!ts just looking at it

[m7john]

My new hero is the gal that rode the line in and rigged up the sled on that slope!!!

i would like to see pics of that.

Holy Cow Batman...JUMPPPPP

Imagine watching your sled fly thru the air then instantly realize you have to ride your a$$ down the slope you just came up, I wonder if there was a brown streak down the slope

 

[Dirty Kurty]

WOW...I asume that the most painfull thing here, other than the heli bill, was pulling that seat out of his arse. I sure hope for his sake it wasn't a BOSS high rise.

Storytime

Ok...How about the rest of the story?????

Ok...How about the rest of the story?????

Tumblina - When Mike came on here looking for a heli service, it was his first post. He said it was "not his story to tell" and I don't think he's on SnoWest much.

He had PM'ed me early on and I gather that the rider bailed before the launch and before that he had hit the "Nitrous" button. Don't know there is much else to say and it's not my story to tell either. He just asked me to post the pic's for him.......Sorry

 

[Tumblina]

Mike and I have been PM'ing and talked on the phone. He asked me to post photos for him and he'll be back on telling the story and talking up the Heli crew.

Note the set of tracks that just go off into mid-air!

Well...WTH? Mike can tell it then???? THere is no shame on Snowest...Really there isn't......


But yeah...looking at pics.... Not sure I would want to relive THAT story.

Helicopter recovery

I had to use High Line back in June of 91 it was my 2nd trip to Baker, I didn't even know I was on a glacier when I crested a hill and there it was my new home for 2 hours, it took that long before Rod Olson and his Friend came across my Friend who had no clue what had happened to me. Between all the sleds they had enough rope to reach me 50ft down in the crevice, on the way back to the truck to get a come along Rod had my buddy on the back of his sled and road off a 60ft cliff and broke his back!!!!! That ended the attempt to recover the sled with the come along as Rod need to go the hospital asap. Rod turned me on to High line I think the cost was $360.
I owe life to Rod And His buddy that day ,Baker can be a beautifully & dangerous place!!!!

P.S. My truck got the passenger door caved in while parked at the Jack Pot on Hy2 on the way home

Way to one up the thread, that pic in the lower left is freaky....50' is crazy, I have heard stories of some of the crevasses on Baker that don't have a bottom........ Glad you didn't end up in one of those.
Cool story & Nice photos, thanks for sharing
