Please beware

[sleded1]

Just below Allan creek cabin, about km 8 right above the creek there is a HUGE HOLE. it is about 7 feet deep And 5-6 feet wide. Someone must have dug a sled out in the last1-2 days that was left there, or mabye some other reason. I drove straight into it, not expecting that in the middle of a meadow. Please be aware of it.
i sm typing this with one hand tonight, broken wrist, broken sled.
BTW, whoever made the hole, i have some of your broken straps and couple of empty cans. Feel free to contact me and i can give them back to you.........

Not very considerate to not fill in the hole. Could have been even worse than a broken wrist, like maybe a broken back!
Seriously people need to think a bit.

Watch out for the hooooooooooooooooooooole!!!!!

Ouch, well hopefully you heal up fine with no issues. I still feel my wrist when riding, if jumping a lot I have pain in the wrist by the evening. Being a short trail out must of helped a bit to get out, couldnt imagine driving 27 k with a broken wrist.

Watch out for the big dip part ways down that one bowl just past the cabin after you follow that ridge and do that first good pull not sure what that bowl is called but hard packed and I shot down there like a rocket and got bucked off . No carnage other than a bent ski though....

We usually mark "deathtraps" like that with a couple branches to form an "x" standing up,over the hazards

Pretty chitty not to shovel it back in or at least mark it nevermind leaving their garbage behind.

no, but this is a very well travelled part of the area popular for new riders, kids, and families. also riders passing through to go to the back, certainly would expect someone to make an effort to shovel in a sled recovery if its right on the beaten path.

fair enough. but still slow down and look where you are going. at boulder mountain there is a creek in the field by the cabin that has broke more legs then you could imagine.

That one seems so obvious that it stuns me people cannot see it.
