    Why the Backwoods Giveaway Almost Collapsed

    The Backwoods Giveaway Retreat almost didn’t happen. Three weeks before the event, the lodge double-booked us. No backup plan. Six random winners already selected. Sponsors committed. Trucks loaded. Momentum rolling. And that was just the beginning. In this episode, we break down everything that went wrong leading up to the weekend — from scrambling to find a new lodge, to heat exchanger failures, broken belts, no snow for weeks, and riding 16 deep in shallow conditions. But this isn’t just a recap. It’s about: • Pivoting under pressure • Leading in chaos • Snowmobile culture • Building something bigger than perfect conditions We talk about: – The scramble to save the retreat – How a local mechanic saved Jose’s sled – Meeting the six winners (including an engaged couple who both won) – Riding in a big group without losing control – Why snowmobile culture continues to surprise us in the best way Every year we pick six completely random riders and spend a weekend together in the mountains. And every year, it reminds us why we do this. It’s never perfect. It’s always worth it. If you’ve ever wondered what goes into hosting something like this — this episode is the real behind-the-scenes.

    The Plan to Bring HayDays Energy to the West Coast With Levi Green

    What would it take to bring Hay Days-level energy to the West Coast? In this episode, we sit down with Levi to talk about his vision for building something bigger than just another ride day — an event designed to grow snowmobiling, build community, and elevate the culture of the sport. From guiding alongside elite riders at Proven Progression to making high-stakes decisions in the backcountry, Levi shares how discipline, responsibility, and leadership shape the way he approaches sledding — and why the sport needs more than just riders if it’s going to grow. We dive into: – What makes Hay Days so powerful – Why the West Coast needs its own version – The responsibility elite riders have to grow the sport – Building community beyond social media – What the future of snowmobiling could look like If you care about the direction of snowmobiling — not just the riding — this conversation matters.

    What a Bad Snow Year Reveals About the People You Ride With

    The snow is bad. The season isn't going to plan. But this episode proves riding has never really been about the snow. In this episode of the Sled Send Podcast, all five of the crew are finally back together under one roof for the first time this season. What starts as catching up quickly turns into a real conversation about brotherhood, responsibility, avalanche awareness, and what a bad snow year reveals about the people you choose to ride with. With unpredictable conditions and limited opportunities to ride, this season has tested a lot of snowmobilers. Trips get canceled. Plans change. Motivation fades. But instead of killing the stoke, it’s forced a deeper look at why we ride — and who we ride with. In this episode, we talk about: ​What a bad snow year reveals about character and commitment​Why riding skill matters less than trust and accountability• Avalanche safety, close calls, and lessons learned in the backcountry​How community and mindset can carry a season when conditions aren’t ideal​Why the Brotherhood has become bigger than riding itselfIf you’ve ever questioned why you ride, struggled through a tough season, or wondered what actually matters when the snow doesn’t show up — this conversation will hit home.

    The Difference Between Loving the Sport and Protecting It

    A lot of people love snowmobiling. Far fewer think about what it takes to protect it. In this episode, we sit down with Corbin Shaw to talk about the responsibility that comes with riding backcountry — from avalanche education and risk awareness to advocacy, access, and leadership within the sport. We unpack the difference between fear-based safety messaging and real education, why being an asset to your riding group matters, and how confidence in the mountains is built through knowledge, not ego. This conversation goes beyond sled setup and riding lines. It’s about stewardship, long-term thinking, and what it actually means to represent the sport well — on the snow and off it. If you ride backcountry, care about access, or want to see snowmobiling thrive for the next generation, this is a conversation worth hearing.

    Why Snowmobiling Becomes an Identity, Not a Hobby

    Snowmobiling starts as something you do. For some people, it quietly becomes something you are. In this episode, we sit down with Eric Olson to talk about why snowmobiling evolves from a hobby into an identity — and what that shift changes about the way you live your life. After stepping away from sledding for nearly 15 years, Eric found his way back to the mountains at a very different stage of life. What followed wasn’t just progression on a sled, but clarity in his business, discipline in his routine, and a deeper connection to himself and the people around him. We talk about: What the mountains give you that nothing else can. Why purpose-driven riding matters more than progression clips. How craftsmanship, discipline, and risk all overlap. The reality behind spending time, money, and energy on something you care about. Why brotherhood and shared struggle are at the core of this sport. And how snowmobiling can shape the way you show up in every area of life. This conversation isn’t about how to ride better. It’s about why riding matters — and why, for many of us, life quietly organizes itself around it. If snowmobiling is more than just something you do on weekends, this episode will resonate. Question for the listeners: Why do you snowmobile?What does it give you that nothing else does?

    What Most People Get Wrong About Preparing for a New Season

    Most people think preparation starts right before the season begins. In reality, that mindset is exactly what leads to frustration, wasted money, and preventable mistakes.In this episode, we break down what real preparation actually looks like — from maintaining your equipment and staying physically ready, to managing the financial side that most people avoid thinking about. Along the way, we share real stories, overlooked habits, and lessons learned the hard way that apply far beyond riding. This conversation isn’t about being perfect or over prepared. It’s about taking responsibility early so you can spend less time fixing problems — and more time actually enjoying what you love. Whether you ride every weekend or just a few times a season, this episode will change how you think about readiness.
