Let's keep this popcorn piss match going!!! Isn't anyone riding anymore???

As stated above, rolling the sled out gets it out on top of the snow and usually in a better direction (slightly down hill) so you can gain momentum again. This is the TK approved method and can be done almost always by yourself. It won't work if you're pinned between 2 trees, stuck in water over the bars, buried in an avy, etc. In these cases, bring out the shovel, chainsaw, box of waterproof matches, or call in da choppa...

By the way, P1, great pic to start this thread off!!

I second the rolling method. I am an amateur when it comes to riding out West, but we were at Togwotee last winter. Lefty was our guide and we rolled the sleds quite a few times to get them unstuck. Almost unbelievable how well that works compared to the effort involved. Of course probably doesn't work in all situations...

Rolling works, but not recommended for a sled with tall windshield and/or mirrors. I have seen rolled sleds go all the way down the mtn. after it rolls over the rider only to get stuck again in a tree well. Every stuck has its own "best" way to get unstuck. I like the use of snobunjes (sled to sled). What a great product.

That is why I took my windshield off and don't run mirrors or hand guards. Just more crap to get in the way. I couldn't agree more on the snobunjes. We have both the sled to sled and rattler in our group. One of the best purchases a person can make to get unstuck.

LOL, yep, I would use a shovel also, but I am a sucky azz rider with no skills, which is why I would be in the same situation.

Skylar, that pic is similair to Wintertimes stuck at Cooke. He was there for quite awhile even after getting the sled pointed in the general down hill direction.
