RIP fellow sledder. The incident happened well below treeline in an area that is frequented by novice to advanced riders on poor visibility days. I never go in the area as there is drainage and gullies that we all need to avoid. The victim was not even riding his sled when it happened.
Our prayers to the family
Godspeed

I also read that it happened near the boulder mountain cabin. Many aspects around there that have the potential to slide. This is very sad news to the snowmobile community and my condolences to all involved.

prayers and thoughts out to family and others sledders that were with him and had to go through this. Don't get me wrong, I feel for family, but the others sledders seen it happen and have to live with this for along time after, not easy on anyone.
