Sled broken down in mountains

[Freake]

Never had it happen yet but who do u call for sled removal in the mountains. Blue river area? How much does it cost?
Thanks

Call your buddies. If that doesn't work I guess you would need too call a chopper. You could ask digger with blue river sledz rentals. He should have a number for you.

there is a heli ski place right next to blue rivers town, i think they can do it. Call Glacier mountain lodge, they will know.

Depending on what areas. If you are north of Blue River you call Yellowhead Helicopters out of Valemount at 1 250 566 4401 and if you are south you call Yellowhead Helicopters out of Clearwater at 250 674 3600.

The price has many variables due to ease of access, someone able to sling it for them and the proper gps coridinates for them.

The helicopter company in Blue River can not rescue a sled.

maybe check with a sled shop in the area, there maybe a local sledder willing to do a rescue.

There is no sled shop on blue river. You could phone holy smoke inn as well they probably have a number you could call.

I thought there was a guy that would do it for half price of a chopper.......

That's Jumpinjack, but he sleds out in Revy most of the time.

If you actually have a broken sled in the area and it hasn't been rolled over a cliff and wrecked, I would be very surpised if there isn't someone local who couldn't figure a way to recover it for less than the cost of a heli ride out in that area. Last I heard it was well over a grande for a heli out of Valemount just to Allen or Clemina. PM me for a name if you need one.

Did the engine blow? I had to leave mine for a week and when the weather cleared I went back up with new parts and rode it out.

Rod whelpton out of mcbride, rescues sleds with his sleds, and skid toboggans........ He'd probably do it for half the price of a helicopter too....???

Yellow Head, has to fly out of Valemount or Clearwater at a Cost of $1500.00 - $1800.00 + for the Blue River area. VIH in town is contracted to Wiegele's Heli skiing and will not touch a sled, but VIH was bought out by Yellow Head and will possibly be offering sled recovery for Blue River next season for a more reasonable cost.

Blue River Sledz will do sled recoveries for $100/hr

 

[LakeheadHelicopters]

We can do sled recoveries in the Blue River area as well.
call me anytime, thanks.
