When did you start snowmobiling?

I started riding in my teens in Central Utah on the Skyline Range down by Moroni Utah. Instantly fell in love with the sport!

 

What was your first snowmobile? 

Rode a few Arctic Cat M8 sled and finally started on a SkiDoo XM later after moving home to Utah from Oklahoma. 

 

What got you hooked on snowmobiling? 

I got hooked as a teen when I saw a ride send a cornice off a massive hill. At that point I saw that snowmobiling was more than just meadows and trails and instantly wanted to hit the steep tree terrain and start jumping.

 

What’s your favorite state to ride in? 

I love Utah, Ive rode almost every area at one point. Utah has such a sick variety of Terrain to offer, and the views at elevation are priceless.

 

What’s your favorite Force Turbos product? 

The exhaust for sure! The sound and build quality is unmatched and honestly is a piece of art. Love how the look, sounds and the durability is forever.

 

What do you do when you're not snowmobiling? 

I’m a Tech College Instructor, and that takes most of my time. I’m a huge archery guy, along with riding my dirt bike. I have my boys hooked on both and so I get to experience that with them!

When did you start snowmobiling?

I bought my first snowmobile in 2014

 

What was your first snowmobile? 

I bought a 2005 Skidoo Rev so I could take my skis into the backcountry and build jumps etc. but I shortly stopped skiing and fell in love with sledding. 

 

What got you hooked on snowmobiling? 

Having the freedom to go where I wanted and not wait in line like at the ski resorts. Powder that lasts for days. 

 

What’s your favorite state to ride in? 

Wyoming/Utah

 

What’s your favorite Force Turbos product? 

All of them!

 

What do you do when you're not snowmobiling? 

I love riding my SXS and golfing.

When did you start snowmobiling?

I started snowmobiling when I was 5 in Idaho for my Birthday presents every year. 

 

What was your first snowmobile? 

When I was 15 I got my first personal sled. My first personal snowmobile was a 2002 Skidoo 600. 

 

What got you hooked on snowmobiling? 

The feeling of freedom and floating is like nothing you can get from a sled. It allows me to push myself and my comfort zone, as well as exploring the backcountry. It really is how I identify myself is as a snowmobiler. Its been my life since I was 15.

 

What’s your favorite state to ride in? 

My favorite state to ride in would either be Idaho or Wyoming. Both are fantastic.

 

What’s your favorite Force Turbos product? 

My favorite Force Turbos Product is definitely the 9R VCS Bypass turbo, but honestly I love all the products.

 

What do you do when you're not snowmobiling?

When I’m not riding, I take my family to the lake for boating and stand up jet skiing. We also enjoy snowboarding, pretty much anything outdoors. I also like to binge watch series.
