Anyone ever have their sled take off and ghost ride down the mountain?

[X-Treme]

Well I am just really really glad it didn't explode into anything, she didn't have any collision on her.... She's does now, lesson learned.

Does anyone know if a sled is smashed up really good and you leave it up there would insurance send someone to get it or are you reaponsible for bringing it back?

That quetion is a joke, right?

there was a vid posted a few years back of a sled skier/snowboarder that jumped off his sled and rode down the hill, then after he stops the sled mows him down like 2 miles away. been searching for it with no success but it was hilarious

No it's not a joke. I was up there with a couple insurance guys and no one knew.

Sure have.... Last rip of the last day if last season.... Lost it at the top of a cut clock and watched the sled turn into a small dot flying down the mountain. And then saw a tree shake....... Got lucky. No real damage. And had the mighty dpfn crew to help me get her out

In the case of and accident yes some providers will cover retrieval but check your policy. Mechanical failure not so much.

For icbc i think its called trail star. But anyway that covers a heli ride for your sled as long as its b/c of a claim (it was 25$ with beacon)

So to answer your question merc, yes as long as you have the right coverage on your sled and the claim is 'approved'

I dont know why he laid down......just to get soaked? like snowboarders on the mountain always sitting on the hill, i always did my rear binding up while i was going down the small hill down from the lift. Nothing like a soaked butt for a whole day.


lol i was just reading the you tube comments......they were asking about studs on the track. a guy said nope you can see holes there where there use to be studs! lol short trackers.....those are ports
