[QUOTE="epags, post: 2889419, member: 105138"] Since you had to bring up Alaska and snow and falling, I have to relate the following; a bunch of military "hunters" (I am one of them) decide to go hunting for caribou one winter. Several of us had campers and several more had snowmobiles. We drive way back on snow covered roads where we see a small herd of caribou on a mountain side. The snowmobilers elect to drive up the mountain side and herd them toward us. We can see them several hundred of feet above us and all of a sudden one of the snowmobiles disappears. He was so focused on the herd he did not see a cliff. The snomobile and he dropped 50 to 75 feet straight down. Luckily for him and the snowmachine there was a drift of snow 5 to 10 ft deep below. The driver fell off and landed in the snow drift winded but unharmed. The snowmachine buried itself staight down into the drift. We worked for several hours to dig it out and then to clean the very compacted snow out of the tracks. No caribou were harmed at that time.....well as we drove out a second herd walks across the road in front of us. Everyone bails out and has to open the campers to get their rifles and ammo. We finally succeeded in getting two caribou which were divided amoung the 6 of us. [/QUOTE]
