Went for a rip up Boulder today, hard snow but bluebird sky's! We went to the airport and I tried out one of the chutes and hit some ice 20ft from the top,
Bailed off the sled, the sled rolled end for end down the hill,, I just about got nailed by the sled cause I was sliding down the hill faster than the sled, then to
add insult to injury some dude showed up and climbed it...lol Broke the tail light of the sled other than that its fine,(thanks Jess for walking up the hill to get it! lol)
Scrapped my Arm but im fine too. Turned out ok, the only thing that is hurt is my pride...lol

Thanks, it was a pretty violent roll down the mountain and I was almost in it!
It was so icy I couldn't slow myself down, I was scratching at the hill trying to stay above the sled.
Not to mention I'm glad the sled was ok too.
I won't be trying any more chutes till it snows....lol

Went up Frisby solo today and I was happy to find it had a bit of fresh up there and if it keeps snowing like it is now, tomorrow and
the rest of the week could be pretty good.
Dropped this drainage today that I'll done lots before, I dropped to the bottom(about 8km's) and found a 100ft deep crevase that was unpassable.
This time of year its usually covered in with snow, so I had to go back up and it got hairball...lol

Hi Lilduke, just wondering, i followed your blog for a while, noticed that you go up the hill solo quite often to meet up with other folks or just checking out the conditions.
don't you ever worry about getting stupid bad stuck by yourself?
thanks

No not really worried about getting stuck. When I get back really far into the hills solo my biggest concern is my sled breaking down.
Thats why I like riding New reliable sleds. I could use a Sat phone also.

a good friend told me this (and has me thinking time I had my own , kind a thing)
