It's the reason they don't drive sleds on glaciers in European resorts....its dangerous and just not very clever....beautiful conditions and stunning view though...safer to go in on skis roped with a knowlegable buddy and the necessary tools for extraction should a fall occur.
15-20 years ago I worked with a avid snowmobiler and as the weekend was approaching he mentioned that he and his brother were heading up to Mt Baker Washington for some sledding. They had rode up to some popular bowls to play around in, on their way down he mentioned his brother was leading and that they were following their same tracks back to the truck. On the way his brother all of a sudden disappeared right in front of him, he had fallen into a crevasse never to be seen again. All I could think of is how terrible the ride back to his truck and then home alone would’ve been. I’m an avid snowboarder of 39 years at Mt Baker and with the crowds at our local resorts, I decided to buy a sled more so to be a chairlift to the powder runs I crave. In the end I ended up selling it because of the dangers in the backcountry, I guess I’ve just become dependent of the resorts patrollers blasting for slides or marking off hazards.
Don't ride on glaciers that's just stupid. I worked at a mine where we had to travel 12 miles over a glacier. Stayed to the same route always. In the winter the route was staked. We got so much snow up there we had to put a piece of pvc pipe on top of the stakes then add another stake and so on. in the summer we would collect the stakes and there would be 100 feet of stakes piled up at each spot.
Hi Murica. One piece of advice as your engines must be quite heavy : why don't you try ski touring ? It is lighter, you have less chances to break snow brigdes. Yes it is powered with muscles instead of gas, but it makes it healthy. Kind regards from the Alps
