wtf is happening here in utah lately. 2 fatalities at PCMR over the holiday weekend and lots of SAR call-outs. Condolences to his family. I geeked out on him when i was a teenager. he had a sick house in PC too.
Shit's nuts. The original gymkhana vids were the shit back in the day. Plus he broke his back jumping a fuckin impreza on a booter in a park. Legend. RIP
God this is like that same feeling when Erik Roner died … punch in the gut type of loss 💔
I remember meeting him up in Maine when he rallied for Subaru back in like 2010. I was 13, totally startstruck. I was lucky enough to be able to chill w him for a hot minute behind the scenes where their cars get fixed (my older cousin worked in the pit crew for subie) Him, Dave Mira and Travis… Nicest guy. Everyone always says that but it was true! They talked to us like a friend, and actually laughed at our jokes n what not. They let us in on what’s in store for them in the future, and everything they said eventually came true. I also remember him and Travis not leaving until every single kid/fan got an autograph or souvenir.
Awesome role models. Will be missed dearly. Glad to see NS payin respects
From snowpark in the glory days. Funny when you think about it that after the place closed down the park setups it got bought as a testing place for cars.
Official statement from Wasatch County Sheriff’s Office:
“On January 2, 2023 at approximately 2:00 p.m., the Wasatch County 911 Center received a call reporting a snowmobile accident in the Mill Hollow area.
Search and Rescue, along with law enforcement from Wasatch County Sheriff’s Office, Utah State Parks and the U.S. Forest Service responded.
The driver, Kenneth Block, 55-year-old male out of Park City, Utah, was riding a snowmobile on a steep slope when the snowmobile upended, landing on top of him. He was pronounced deceased at the scene from injuries sustained in the accident.
Mr. Block was riding with a group but was alone when the accident occurred.
The State Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the official cause of death.
We are saddened to hear of the loss of Kenneth and our hearts are with his family and friends so deeply affected.
We thank all of our first responders for their continued service."

Heavy weekend for WCSAR. This and multiple other call-outs for snowmobilers stranded or hurt. Crazy what happened. There is such thing as too deep of snow. Shit's insane out there, like nipple deep in some spots. Always keep eyes-on your buddies.
