Muskoka Freerider

He may change his mind on that if he ever ends up being at an avalanche fatality like I have as well as Drew and Claude. It changes you.

Oh for sure. I agree. Although the notoriety you gain for climbing K2 successfully is pretty substantial. Today is the first time I’ve even heard of Gorilla bowl. The bottom line is whether you die at 7000 ft or 25000 ft you die. I just think a hill like that is pretty extreme for recreational snowmobiling. Makes for great content though.

Its not actually called gorilla bowl. Thats just what i named it lol
I wouldnt call muskoka a recreational snowmobiler.

LIke when i moved to revy, i didnt go there just to trail ride. I wanted to see every square inch of the place.

K2 would be a better story forsure, but im too lazy to walk that far.

I’ve lost a handful of friends also to Avy. But being there is different. That definitely changed me.

Widow maker bowl was another good one.

Not sure if hes hit this one yet

widow maker kinda resembles gorman. only been once but is fairly deep in a valley.

I was on one recovery years ago, it was horrible and I never volunteered again. Even if his riding group had found him in time, he was so busted up he was likely already dead.

I have had to dig out one person, fortunatly alive.
But it still affected a lot of the group for years.
I was the lead for two seperate groups several times each per year.
Now I ride with my group of 4 and thats it and we definatly ride with way more caution.
Muskoka acepts risk for views.
To each their own choice, evrrybody knows the risk when backing off of the deck in AM.

 

[maxwell]

it looks bad but i don't even think avy bombing would make that hill set off right now. She's like concrete out there

 

[lilduke]

Now is the time to do it forsure.

There is a ski lodge back there too.
Not far from where they were

He's a ballerina in the trees but I don't see him going out of his way very often to highmark in the alpine. No extreme cliff drops or air time. It's mostly technical riding and exploring.

25-30 years ago all we did was pound slopes. Good thing we didn't have turbos. I still prefer alpine riding. The trees are a necessary evil to get to the good stuff.

The opposite is true for some of us. Big alpine is a necessary evil to get to the good stuff. Some of that stuff scares the ch!t out of me. Trees and drainages on the other hand put a huge smile under my helmet.
