We headed to Breckenridge Colorado for the long President's day weekend in the camper pulling the sleds. Our friend Miguel's annual Skiesta!

One of the things that every(most anyway) sledder must deal with when riding in the backcountry is getting bucked off the sled. This usually means hitting a hidden obstacle and flying off the machine. If you're lucky only the machine is damaged. Other times it is the body which breaks.
