I cannot imagine the loss & pain you and your buddies feel right now. You did all you could. Remember your friend Ryan in all the good times you shared. May he rest in peace. My prayers for you, your buddies and Ryan's family.
My thoughts and prayers goes out to the family and friends of Ryan. It is a sad day when we loose a fellow rider. He was lucky to have friends like you guys who never gave up on finding him and trying to save him. Once again thoughts and prayers out to the family and friends.
This is such a sad thing to read about. My heart goes out to all Ryans family and friends, especially his good friends who were with him.
Take consolation from knowing that he died doing something that he loved and what more can a man ask for.
There is no such thing as a good time or way to die.
I hope never to experience such a day.
This is awfull, I spoke with his good friend Bob today and I can sure tell Ryan was a very well known and liked individual, who was both an avid sledder and quadder. He was and will always be a member on this site.
My deepest condolences to his wife and family, and all his friends. RIP
So very sorry to hear about your loss. Words can never really explain the hurt, shock, grief, and terrible sense of loss that you must be feeling.
Hopefully Ryan is in a happy place, perpetually riding the mountain powder and loving it!
My heart hurts everytime I hear about a fellow freedom lover leaving us due to circumstances that are beyond our control!
My deepest sympathies to all family and friends.....remember Ryan fondly and smile when you think of him.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family!!! Seeing wher this trgedy happened first hand on Sunday,opened my eyes on how easy it could happen to anyone!! Please guys take an Avy course!!! SO you can do the absolute best you can in case of an accident! There is so much to learn about how to react and be confident you can make the right decisions. I would like to think we could learn from someone elses tragedy to prevent another! Just my piece!!
