Hill Climb
Rutherford Hill Climb
Just when I thought I’de seen it all, I went to the Big Dog hill climb. Over a thousand sleds competing for biggest redneck of the weekend. The parking lot would rival any tailgate party, except this one was full of two strokes and no law. If the parking lots didn’t impress you than the lines some people thru down would. I’ve spent a lot of time skiing the area that the freestyle contest was in and I can say that I’ve been nervous to drop in on skis to some of the lines guys climbed on their sleds. Multiple lines went down that where no turning back lines. If the sled didn’t make it the only choice was for guys to try and get the track stuck in so they could be lifted out by heli or else to jump for the nearest tree to save themselves. It was quite possibly the craziest event I’ve ever witnessed. If you’re anywhere near Whistler next April make sur eto check it out.
