Ok so we're still on, no problems, just you know there's a slight chance the Ice Cliffs aren't Ice but are water cliffs.... Either way should be a blast

Decent day. That trail is much better with more snow but still a nice day in the mountains. And we rescued a dude and his daughter after they crashed their sxs. I think we did well in the situation. I didn’t realize how hurt he actually was until he got up and tried to walk. All the same we got them back to their truck.

Great day.  Sucks those guys screwed up their sxs and knee and face.

Would have been an AWESOME day to do Cabin creek though, sucks they closed the trail to 4x4s

Also I know it sucks for the day that the ride got cut short.  Could we have sent just 2 guys to pull them out? Hind sight yes.  But personally I'll make the better safe than sorry call every time I know everyone had the same wave length but yeah just saying it.  And the way he twisted his knee "emptying the tank" at the trailhead shows he was a lot worse off than he thought, or maybe he was over confident based on how well it went getting towed out.

Ironically if it wasn't for covid we we would have had the passengers available to drive for him, probably could have even tried driving the thing out under it's own power...

We made the right choice on getting him back for sure. But after seeing how bad he was hurt we should have acted sooner I think. But again, he didn’t let on to how bad his knee was. When I drove into the meadow I thought they were stuck and that’s it.
Someone else could have rode in the sxs as well but not as familiar with how it works. So over all we did well. If we had more people we could have just put him in a jeep and take care of the rest. That’s probably the first time I’ve dealt with a serious injury on the trail. Good experience and next time will go smoother.
Our day was cut short but really in the end getting him and his daughter back was way more important. And that’s the part we will remember.
