Doug, give us an idea of what went on. How did Chief make it and nobody else. Can they be ridden out by someone with crazy mad skills????

What are the machines that were left????

Jmx571 · Jan 31, 2009

Owch that sucks if I didn't have to work I would be their have a cousin who flies choppers I could give him a call.

1MEX · Jan 31, 2009

If I can hook up with someone and go up tomorrow i will. Dont know how to get to soap.

built4dtuff · Jan 31, 2009

Spencers 700 dragon Dougs 780 and I think nerd rides doos. Cheif didn't drop in he got waived off from doug. Glad u boys r ok. My sleds r at Tcp I'm
Waiting to hear back from the gate keeper

GOT S&R?

Rock Star · Jan 31, 2009

OK, FIRST RIDER DROPPED over the edge and then 2,3,4, 5 (me) when I saw the reality. I took on a tree to stop me AND turned and waved off Chief. Then we worried all day where he wa alone!!! sucked. I'd say 1000' of vertical and a 70 degree pitch. unreal Team work got all the sleds down... 7 plus hours with out a wrecked sled or an injury. we were shown by S&R how to go in and pac a track to drive them out! Ron, good skills would help a lot. 5 of us can barely walk! and I'm playing injured. this was the nail in my coffin i think. we'll get 'em. I'd love it if you can help. Robo called a few of his chopper buddies and the cost on Monday if we don't will be OUCH!!! But we WILL fly 'em if we have to.

the other 2 sleds are 2 new Rev XP 800 r's and what Blake said.

thanks all for your replys. Sunridge rocks, he ain't letting us leave a sled!!!

I wanted $10K for my $23K mod. right now it's $9K and get it yourself. lol

wish i could help rock, but im on new baby detail

however, i can lend out a portable 4KW honda generator if needed, in the event someone has a 110VAC wench that would be stronger then a 12VDC wench

Rock Star · Jan 31, 2009

Thanks ALL!

as I layed down to rest I just wanted to say.... I was counting my blessings for no one being hurt and for the sleds all still intact. Mosty I count my great friends here who are determined to have this be resolved asap.Thank you all. And the deputies who located us and flew us off the mountain at dark. man, we owe ya!!! Thanks 1000 times over! into my warm bed instead of a cold snowbank.

BossRev · Jan 31, 2009

Glad everyone made it out ok. Good Luck in the A.M.

spring snow hero · Jan 31, 2009

if you can get your hands on a simpson capstan winch life will be easier. they work with any length of rope.....1ft or 1000'....all the same.

good luck!
