I am ok and the sled only had minor cosmetic damage.
Please beware of this access route

I've done that. I had done that hill a number of times even with my bobsled trailer attached. But it got tracked off real quick and had no traction. Same result, got close to the top, sled stopped, got sideways, scrambled to hold the sled from rolling to no avail. No damage to me or the sled, or the little bobsled type trailer I was pulling. That made it interesting. The whole thing "jacknifed". There is usually a better access point just around the point (forget the name of that point) towards the Weirs.
