SkisNH Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 inexperience or alcohol...the horrible story is becoming far too familiar. The rental companies here in NH and Maine provide little to training before sending people out on the trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Horrible. RIP. Just a few days over 10 years ago, I had to call my sister and tell her why her husband wasn’t coming home. 3 days before Christmas. I wasn’t maybe 20 seconds behind him when it happened. Worse day of my life. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyL❤️Ve Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) I rode by the accident scene this afternoon. The ambulance was still at the road and the police were down the trail by the sled. Didn’t look to bad. Was hoping for the best. Just breaks a persons heart knowing lives are changed forever in seconds. Last year a buddy and I helped an older guy pull a sled out of the trees that was there overnight. We asked if the driver was ok? He just put his head down and started to cry. Definitely changed the mood of the day.
