RIP rider, and tough situation for the SAR group !

That track is frisby. Toilet bowl is on boulder

Boulder is to the left on the map. That map was setup to show both riding areas.
The two stars are the two cabins on frisby.

Toilet Bowl. It is a sketchy drop straight down to the cabin with lots of snow. Without the snow as in currently, not good news.

Man, sure hate to hear of such a tragedy and tough for everyone involved. Condolences to family and friends.

Terrible thing to happen.

Is it raining there? Or what’s it doing ? Says winter storm warning and snow on higher elevations. Thanks in advance

Yes a lot of rain after heavy wet in town . Streets are a swamp with storm sewers plugged with slush . The city is hard at it cleaning up

Might end up worse. Lots of people think they are Chris Burandt in the sport. Then they find out they aren’t. Might be better less people know about it. Who knows.

Than you have guys like Muskoka sensationalizing riding drainages in all his videos including the toilet bowl…

The toilet bowl has been the place for many riders to get in trouble. Very easy to enter and almost inviting. Then becomes very difficult to get out. Signage would be the easy thing to start with. Its not going to stop everyone, but it may turn some around before its too late. I really wish there was a better way to promote GPS/Satellite trackers. They are so cheap, there really is no excuse to not have one. It may not help make good decisions, but it will help the team coming to get you when you make a bad one. Anywho, lets get the thread back on to conditions.

Lots of professionals do dangerous stuff on camera that joe blow shouldn't try....

Professional riders like Turcotte and Bergmark doing barrel rolls and front flips agreed. Muskoka’s appeal to the impressionable is he is just one of the boys with a go pro who likes to ride trees.

Maybe it’s just my humble opinion but I think Muskoka is more influential to the young and naive than a bergmark doing a barrel roll. Muskoka is a lot easier to imitate than the other two.

I disagree. I really doubt buddy new where he was headed.

I agree I doubt he knew where he was going also. My comment was intended for the guy saying people think they are the next Burandt if you put up a sign saying danger toilet bowl that they will proceed just cause.

He did caution people from dropping in there.

 

[Dawizman]

I doubt it. Ive help retrieve a ton of sleds out of that area when i was riding all the time.

It was never wannabe burrandts. It was guys that just couldnt turn around.


But put signs up, dont put them up. I dont care.

I've been looking at it on topo quite a bit. Could a guy not keep dropping down that drainage and come out on Kirkup or turtle trail?

 

[Dawizman]

It cliffs out and there is really deep drainage that i dont think is ridable.

But who knows maybe muskoka will getter done this season. 10 years ago id try it with him.

Gotcha. It's that hole just off the West side of the Kirkup like 600 meters North of the cabin?

It looks possible, but I don't have much desire to find out these days either.

People follow tracks, sign or no sign… you need something very alarming to detour people

It rained all the way to the top today. It went from handle bar deep blower pow yesterday to absolute wet concrete today. The snow is extremely unstable. It will be interesting to see what becomes of this layer, it may be a big problem. Good news things are mostly filled in proved 165 cm at the top of frisbee it was only 110 on Saturday.
