I was doing some pre-season packing today in the '99 BR275. Sometime in my first pass up to the top after lunch, I lost my front driver's side tandem (spline broke, tandem and tires gone...). It's so rough out there right now (10-16" of snow on top of rocks, trees, stumps, etc.) that I didn't really notice anything out of the "ordinary." I was also distracted by dropping oil pressure (most likely just the sender, but not something to mess with). I stopped at the top, and couldn't get ahold of the mechanic, but VP Mt. Ops showed up to help troubleshoot the lack of oil pressure. Standing on the track, it seemed awfully loose, but we were running a little loose anyway, and our focus was on the oil pressure. So he decided to send me back down to the shop, since it was reading some pressure (at high enough RPMs). As I drove off, he called on the radio and said "keep going, but make sure you check your driver's side tires when you get to the shop." I thanked him, assuming it was a simple delam or something. He said, "As in... where were you last? I need to go look for them!" I made it back to the shop without a buzzer (until I ramped down to about 1100 RPMs), and then jumped on a sled with him and the lift maintenance manager. We scoured the path I took, and could not find any signs of tires. Nothing coming up out of the snow, no tracks into the woods or down another trail, no funny marks in the pattern. Just gone!
