Rest In Peace. Kudos to all that took time to search and look for this person. SAR and locals provide a unmatchable resource I thank all of you.

Rip Travis, condolences to family and friends




We were 1/2 km or less from finding him, the group that did, I'm not sure if they were out there to ride or look, but we went back to cabin to eat and was just going back to doing the grid search, and they were just where we were when we left

We would have found him if they didn't, went with my gut instinct, between vediman and shady lane, we were going low and high off vediman, as far as I figured a 155 polaris could go and back


Not the best outcome but family has closure now


If it would have snowed a foot again more, would not have seen the tip of the orange helmet or shovel handle by the tree

Rip dude, and good job fir the sled heads that came to look

Nice meeting you guys and miltons crew. Good on the guys for being alert enough to see his sled as was almost gone.

It would have eaten me alive inside if I didn't at least try

Snow was super deep , and when we got up there we realized it was going to be next to impossible unless u seen the sled or color of something not white, or hit the sled with ur sled kind of thing

Sad. Condolences. It's almost one of those things that a bunch of guys kind of knew where to look and SAR wouldn't allow anyone in. Kind of a catch 22. Still sad news and now the family can have closure at least. The unknown is always one of the worst things.
Yes, but by Monday when he was reported, I think hypothermia would have set in


Anything is speculation so...
