Hope you gps'ed the sled. I know another guy that left a sled on Turtle for 3 weeks. Dug and dug and dug for 3 days before he found the sled.

a chopper is 1500 from there and can be the answer, once behind shovel out aera, its almost imposible, better to pak motor or what ever parts needed back in and repair problem, do it soon or you might not get it till spring, big dumps now till may

Have you ridden in Keystone before? There are some good sized pulls to get a sled out of there. We rode on Saturday in about 6-8" of fresh. I ended up having to double out a guy because of sled trouble and that was a chore. I couldn't imagine towing a sled out of there ever. Gotta agree with Fred the best way is a chopper or fix it on the hill.

Hopefully you guys got it out of there!

Ya have been there before.

Also have towed out two.

With the hard snow last weekend , go first thing in the am when its harder and not softened up yet,

Two sleds tied to the dead sled and pull it

Have towed from turbo in boulder with 1-2 feet of fluff that way.

Has some good pulls with no run at them.

Also helps with a few tracks up the hills with no trenchs.

I agree 2-sleds pulling the dead one and also a snow bungee and right length of rope between the two pulling the dead sled. Two bungees. Avoid the shock load and ripping off bumpers. Good luck
