Re: Big Iron Slide @ Turbo March 13,2010

wow...i was going to go to this event this weekend...I am now going to hug my son and kiss my wife....

this truly saddens my heart

how can a sport we are all so passionate about be so devistating?

I give big thanks to all the people that set up probe / becon lines you are truly hero's..
To those that are still searching...never give up hope...

I wish I owned a airplane right now instead of a sled....I would fly myslef and all my buddies to turbo and be searching alongside of everyone...

Just about ready to pack it in for the Mountain riding. I love it and my kids are being brought up to love it. I can't bring myself to send them in to something like this.

I think once my head clears there will be some sleds for sale.

Re: Big Iron Slide @ Turbo March 13,2010

just talked to a friend in revy.. but my immediate fam is still un-accounted for.. 3 ppl.. so all updates would be appreciated.. my friend said to expect it to be a late night for anyone you know up there as no one will leave til they know everyone ok, plus there is a large involvement by rescue so they may want to talk to people to know what happened etc.. prayers for all of us who know people up the hill

Our Prayers are with You....also

Robin & Patti

The tragedy and fallout of these events will take months to play out. Truly the saddest day for Sledding since I've been involved in this sport.

Thoughts and prayers go out to all affected.

Re: Big Iron Slide @ Turbo March 13,2010

it still doesnt seem real, me and my 2 buddies had just pulled into turbo and we looking for a group that we were going to meet up with. i heard some screams and saw some avy bags being deployed, i turned around and saw a cloud of snow dust, i pinned it for a goup of trees, just made it out of the slide path by about 10 ft, a guy behind me got caught in the slide and i think the sled rolled over him, he got out tho, 20 ft away a guy got his neck broke. my guess would be about 150-200 sleds sitting at the bottom of the hill. i cant even explain what it was like, it was sickening. i'm still shaking.

i wish this all was a dream, sadly its not. i know my sledding season is done.

RIP those that didnt make it

Proud to be your dad son, hang in there Jordan.
