Abbandoned Sled

[team dirt]

Does anyone know what the fines would be to someone who abbandons a sled on the mountain with no intentions of retrevial.

 

[Summitric]

Was it left by the owner, or was it stolen and left??

 

[team dirt]

Owner, i have already reported. Just curious. Cant afford a chopper so he decides its better to just leave it. Major douche.

 

[magnet]

i am thinkin it would have been cheaper to get the chopper just sayin.

 

[JaySimon]

It sure would be poetic justice if he was forced to pay for the chopper, AND a fine after all is said and done.

Sounds like a dick move to me, I hope they nail him with it.

 

[ZRrrr]

Find out who the insurer is. I am sure they would be really happy to find out that it was left abandoned. He probably reported is stolen or written off.

 

[team dirt]

thats what im thinkin, I hate people that just abbandon there stuff. Makes us all look bad. Also right in the middle of permanet caribou closed area that I have been working on getting access to. Really pissed me off to hear about this.

 

[magnet]

yeh but we all know that if he gets nailed and has to chopper it out. media will be all over it and end up being another black eye for all mountain sledders.

Ya that mabey true but as me being the president of the club in that area im obliged to report any violations as per our agreement with MOE. So it shows the clubs are doing there part to stop the idiots from doing there thing freely.

I do not know if it is legal to take a quad and trailer up and get it??? Is that possible??

 

[Popsiclestand]

If you could get in thier on a quad, why not fire er' up and run it out? Its been abandoned so I doubt he would care.

P.M ed you overkill

No chance of quad access, over 2 very rugged and steep mountains at the foot of a glacier. Sled access is done as of last week. Helli only now. If it would run it probably wouldnt have been left.

I actually thought about this, motor is blown on an 800 zx. so at best case that bill would be about 2500 to 3000 for heli and repair on a sled that is only worth that. Wouldnt be financially worth it to myself but doesnt excuse owner for leaving it.

 

[Sledderglen]

Better to report and be honest. Shows you are willing to work with Government. Not your fault BUT your willing to help.

 

[team dirt]

Ya its AZZHATZ like this guy that wreck it for us all. I hate to be a rat but have no choice. they are always flying over this area and that sled would stand out like a sore thumb at the foot of a glacier.

Gonna play devil's advocate here since the thread is light on details. I don't know the "major douche" it just looks like a thread for bashing some guy who's too cheap to pay for a helicopter. If I had a sled that was that old, like hell I'd waste money choppering it out, I'd let the fuggin' thing wait until next fall.

Why can't a guy just haul out parts and do a "get it running enough" repair? Did he leave it because he's waiting for snow now? Is a piece of rope and a come-along so hard to use?

I've seen machines left behind on a mountain lots of times. Usually snow was too deep to tow, but back in the old days, a machine would end up in some stupid gully the guy would have to wait for spring to get it out. I've heard of a guy swapping out a top end up on the hill. I can't see a relatively new machine like that being entirely abandoned, maybe some old clunker POS. Besides, it ain't hurting nothing, if it's that remote it'll probably be covered in moss before granola crunchers see it and it'll probably make a good home for some squirrels. It's not like it's going to spontaneously start spewing oil and antifreeze any more than it probably already has. They aren't going to close down areas because some guys machine broke and he couldn't get back to it right away.

Besides, now you know where to find spare parts if you're up on the mountain next winter! If the guy himself has said he's never going back there, anyone can claim salvage rights, I doubt it's un-towable in spring conditions. Oppurtunity knocks!

 

[team dirt]

he has stated he is leaving it and he is well into a permantly closed area already. Not just outside the boundary but about 2 ranges back. I didnt start this to bash. I was curious as to what type of fines there are. If it was a matter of taking in parts to repair and ride out,why has he left it untill there is no more sled access. This area is spring accesible only and sled is psitioned right where the glacier calves off (from my understanding) so mabey it will magically start spewing oil. If you are so good at sled recovery when I find out GPS location I will pass them on and you can have yourself a new sled. Cheers and happy canada day.
