Well Im thinking there is more to this story than we know. I to was also at the trail head in the AM when they came out, It did look like they had an adventure but a damn scary one. I looked one guy in the eye that was riding out with his helmet off and he looked like he had just been to <font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font> and back.Im guessing since your party was staying at the lodge,Togwotee maybe felt some sort of obligation to send one of their guys out to assist if possible. For what reasons he didnt continue we will never know. Maybe he was told only to go so far and thats it. I think it was very cool that there is a place that would at least send a guy with. Please don't hate them on an open forum. You and your group should try riding with others. I have learned alot and taught alot from that experience. You find yourself getting challenged and there is not a better feeling than knowing you are challenging someone else.

I never said anywhere in my posts that I was complaining about the guides or that I was upset with them, nor did I say or intend to mean that anyone's (the guide/chopper guys) actions were unappreciated. I was simply putting out facts that you did not know when you stated the story as if you had first hand experience.

We also rode that day in a different area and made it back fine as did the rest of the lodge. The area they were in had some pretty steep climbs to get back out and like I said before they had decided it was better to stick it out than risk losing someone somewhere in the whiteout which didn't let up in the higher elevations till about 2am. They were going to get themselves out then since the moon was shining so bright but they decided to wait cause they knew we'd be back first thing in the morning.

They did appreciate the help that came for them as they were drained from having to sleep outside and really didn't feel like getting their sleds unstuck.
