Rode Renshaw today. Lots of fresh powder. more over the saddle/down the ladder. Coming over the hood.
What day was this???
We did not see this ourselves, there was a few groups at the cabin they claimed it was waste deep and awesome powder over the saddle. I only seen about 2 1/2 feet myself last weekend. And it was awesome. Im jealous for the people that get to play in that snow this week.Lets see the pics!!! 4ft of fresh i have a hard time believing.
was the snow epic ??
snowing so hard this morning that they went to Belle. Renshaw tomorrow, pulled a load of logs off Belle this morning and snowing hard up top.Only EPIC if we were there in the morning when it was sunny with the fresh dump. Im sure now the snow has consolidated and compressed.
Barry, you need to ask Ron P to post some pics of his ride on Tuesday. Was he going into Spirit Lake?
Sharon is on her way home. hope she posts tomorrow of their 2 days on Renshaw.Lets see those pics Barry!
RXN txt me and said a new sledder went tobogganing down and hit a tree,broke femur and had to wait 4hrs for search and rescue...
SAR ground crew got called at 5:05 and by 8:45 they were done and back in town. broken femor takes some time to get packaged on hill.
Was first and hopefully last time to deal with somthing like this.
the young rider was 18, and he had a real crappy day, his 2011 M8 was bogging hard, not running right, So he called Spin Drift, trouble shooted over the phone, and we diconnected the throttle block sensor. It was like a new machine. He ended up rolling it in the bowl at Bell. hurt his ribs when he did that.
Our group was 11 riders including 3 18yr olds. we were getting ready to head back down to the Scarecrow, (where we were staying), two of the young lads and one of the older fella's ran ahead back to the cabin. When I came over the top of Little Bell, one of the boys way pushing off on one of the toboggan's found in the cabin. he picked up way way way, way too much speed, due to the tracked out hard pack snow, so there was no drag to slow him down.
He smoked one of the trees in the little cluster of trees between the cabin and the out house. Laying in pain, and was saying his foot was snagged. I looked at his feet and said to him, Nope not snagged. I unzipped his left snow pant leg and his leg was baddly deformed. no blood, no bones, we told him no to move, I was reading my First aid book to see what to do, the other older fella radioed the rest of the group, (still on back side of Little Bell), informed them that we had a situation. Once we detremed it was his Femur, 2 of us rode back down to the Scarecrow to phone for help. (cell reception sucked at the cabin). I phoned 9-1-1 and told dispatch what had happened, they said it was already called in, so someone got reception somewheres on the hill. They re-verified all the details and location with me.
Once got off the phone, we rode back up, The guys uptop had him out of that little tree well, legs tied together, he was laying on a longer toboggan, We lite a fire near him to keep him warm. laid coats and a heat blanket on him, used all our hot packs on him, even tucked the muff pot against his side. and then we waited.
Never felt so helpless in my life,
When the rescues showed up, we assisted in every way we could, got him on a spine board, in thier rescue sleigh, and took him down.
The 2 fella's and the paramedic did a great job up there, thanks guys.
He was lucky the break didn't bleed, rip arteries or any really life theatening veins. the trail was smooth, next to zero bumps.
But like I said earlier, never want to go through this again.
Last I heard he's doing good, should get home from PG today sometime.
Thanks to all who helped.
