My condolences to all that know him.

It's tragic, and bizarre how some things happen in life.

Well not the outcome anybody was looking for. I had a chance to meet some new riders today. Had great intentions of a real good look today with Tex and a few others but after heading up and seeing the snow, very low visibility it was really like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. pure luck found Travis today as just a small glimpse of his helmet was all it took. Great to meet all the guys today. rip Travis and let's hope this is the worst news we encounter this year.
Nice to meet ya too, we will go for a rip again

My condolences to the family and a huge thanks to SAR and all the fellow sledders that volunteered to look for this young man. A tragedy I hope we will all learn from...

My condolences to the family. Many thanks to sars and all the volunteers that were involved with this. My two boys(young men) ride with me in the mountains and I can't stress enough to them about the hazards and how fast things can change.

I wish everyone a safe sledding season.

Sad news, so sorry.
Even when riding in groups, we all know there are people who get separated from each other. I have been one of those. I cannot imagine riding alone in the mountains. Stay together and when you see another passing sledder, give them a wave. We all need each others help. So sad.... :(

RIP Travis. I echo all the comments thanking SAR and others who helped in the search. Hearing how many people went out to search and help and the resources made available makes me feel a whole lot more optimistic if I ever run into a similar situation.

RIP. Condolences to the family and friends.
Talked about this with my son. He 'thinks' he is 10' tall and Bullet proof. Just a reminder that as much fun as our crazy sport is, it is not a game that you get to hit reset and get another life to start over.
Albeit a tragedy, this type of loss is preventable if you use all the tools, the training and the experience of fellow riders, it will go a long way to ensure you will be able to enjoy being a mountain sledder for a long time.
I am sad and pissed off at the same time that this happened.
