  1. Unreal horror for the 4th buddy...

    'We assume we're all safe out there, and that's our biggest problem,' says expert 

    Jack Verrecchia, the owner of the Sled Den which offers lessons and guides in the Chic-Choc Mountains, heard about the incident Tuesday evening. 

    "We decided to go out there and see if we could give a hand," said Verrecchia.  "By the time we got there we knew for sure there wasn't going to be any saving."

    By the time all the crews got to the site and started the recovery, he says it had been well over three hours. 

    "We had nowhere near enough guys to do what we had to do," said Verrecchia.

    He says the men who were out on their snow bikes likely didn't have the experience to be on that part of the mountain. 

    The one person in the group who managed to avoid the avalanche, had been off to the side, filming, said Verrecchia.

    Hope you enjoyed our voyage, thanks for following along…. We keep doing it because we personally enjoy reading about other riders adventures. 

    Thanks for sharing!

    And OH DUDE, how freaky was that stretch with the dolls strung up in the trees?!?  Trail 3 a few clicks east of Forestville?  I don't sleep great as it is, I sure didn't need THAT on the brain!

    mostly groomed trails before sled blew up about 50 miles from Les Escoumins. Wouldn't be a trip without a little bit of towing. Anyway great trip to an otherwise pretty bad season. Wish I took more photos but was too busy riding... and nobody swimming in the pool at the motel.

    Great spirit award goes to!...
