AKIQPilot Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Woke up this morning to the news. So sad. He was a legend in Canadian Backcountry lore. An ambassador to our sport. He was taken far too soon. Im not sure what happened. I hadnt seen him post all that much this season which is unusual but thats how Facebook works some times. Prayers for his family and friends. RIP buddy. You will always be remembered as one of the best snowmobilers ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read about him back in the day in Snowest magazine. Kinda got to know him years ago when i hung out on the snowest forum. We became Facebook friends about 5 years ago. He was always promoting the sport. Helping new and young snowmobilers. He was always one of the first guys in the mountains every winter. He really know what he was doing in the backcountry. I dont know what happend but it might have been sled related. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
