    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.

    How One Small Decision Triggered an Avalanche

    What started as a simple first ride of the season turned into a moment we won’t forget. In this episode, we break down how one small decision triggered an avalanche right in front of us and what it taught us about complacency, risk, and responsibility in the backcountry. We walk through the entire day from planning the trip and trailhead checks to the split second where everything changed. We talk about what we did right, what we would absolutely do differently, and why experience alone doesn’t make you immune to mistakes. This isn’t about pointing fingers. It’s about understanding how quickly situations can escalate and why awareness, communication, and preparation matter more than confidence. We also get into the rest of the ride, exploring a new zone, dealing with early season conditions, and reflecting on how physical preparation in the gym translated directly to better riding on the mountain. If you ride sleds, spend time in avalanche terrain, or just want a real conversation about decision-making under risk, this episode is for you.

    The Most Overlooked Christmas Gifts That Every Sledder Secretly Needs

    Buying a gift for a sledder is surprisingly hard. Between expensive gear, personal preferences, and all the little things you never think about until you are stuck waist-deep in powder, most people either overspend or pick the wrong thing entirely. In this episode, we break down the most overlooked, practical, actually useful gifts for sledders across four budget categories: Under $25, under $50, under $100, and the “Send It” gifts over $100. We share real stories from the mountain, gear that has saved us when things went sideways, and a handful of budget-friendly picks that make a big difference on every ride.Plus, we wrap it all up with what we personally want for Christmas, from realistic stocking stuffers to the delusional “if Santa was rich” wish list items. If you are shopping for a sledder or you are one and want to send this to someone as a hint, this is the episode for you.
