We got into snow early on and had to detour around one mountain because of real bad snow slides. Hit the f***n cliff side hoping we wouldn’t need to come back out but the other path was avalanched out. Cliff is 1500 feet to the bottom where several people had died and machines at the bottom. It’s quad use only. Found the RMax but dirt bike trail was soft so tires kept going over sliding, we had it snatch block all machines roofs over to keep them up. I had to drive through the trees to get back around and pull everyone backwards out.
We had to give up on RMax, we were breaking winch line and both saws died. One Polaris shattered front diff and other had belt slipping. We towed one on/off all way back. Since one path was shot we had to go up cliff side with broken equipment. Finally got to the dirt road at 12:30 this morning and kissed the ground. Owner of RMax was waiting at bottom of dirt road and offered my Polaris friend a trailer. That was the night.
