>>272414After hiking up the mountain, he rode two-up with his buddy back to town with us.
Met up with these guys again the following day (they were going to leave in the morning...) to do a sled recovery. Dude was pretty glad to be back on his sled.
>New sled, overconfident>Unprepared for the terrain (not from the area)>Unprepared for conditions (didn't have much for survival gear)>No map/compass/radio/GPSGot the two of them back into town that evening, they stayed another night and took off the following morning.
Pretty sure they're going to be reevaluating what's in their packs before they head out here again; experience is a hell of a teacher. They got real lucky finding us, and not just joe-schmoe trail rider.
