"'He was just a wonderful father, an amazing husband and a great guy,' she said, adding her husband was a 'cautious' and experienced snowmobiler.
The family's grief turned to anger when they learned of an earlier fatal crash, mere metres away on the same sharp curve on the Swisha trail, that claimed the life of a 35-year-old Bryson, Que., man on Jan. 21.
'This is a trail that people pay money to go on. Something has to be done,' said Vickie.
Anger boiled over when they learned that despite the prior fatality, it took rescue crews more than 30 minutes to reach the crash site, about 23 km from the trail entrance at Chemin Dumoine, the nearest road."
Our condolences to the family. We have been asking for trail certification and maintenance money for all trails since 2003.
