Jeremy’s journey into the backcountry started with snowboarding before snowmobiles became a major part of his life. After surviving a serious avalanche in 2004, he turned his experience into a mission to make motorized mountain travel safer and smarter. Today, Jeremy is the founder and CEO of Soul Rides, an avalanche educator, professional athlete and leader in motorized backcountry safety. He is also involved in guiding, research and education through organizations including the SKADI Foundation. For Jeremy, one of the best things about snowmobiling is the simple freedom to roam—and he’s passionate about helping riders do it with the knowledge and preparation to come home safely.

Growing up near Skellefteå, Sweden, Andreas was riding snowmobiles since he was 6 years old and has spent years turning his passion for jumping and freestyle into an unmistakable riding style. He loves deep snow and technical terrain, but he’s equally happy finding creative ways to ride the hills and slopes around his hometown. One of his defining moments came when he landed a backflip over the famous Turtle Gap in Revelstoke, British Columbia. For Andreas, the fun comes from challenges—setting a goal for the day, trying something new and pushing beyond his comfort zone.

Growing up in Bruce County, Ontario, MJ was surrounded by snowmobiles and lake-effect snow. Today, she splits her time between modern trail riding and her love of vintage Ski-Doo sleds. She even runs a business specializing in vintage Ski-Doo parts and support. When she’s not riding, MJ enjoys motocross, street bikes, minibikes, dog-rescue volunteer work and gardening. Her favorite rides are scenic trails where she can settle into a rhythm and simply enjoy one corner after another. For MJ, snowmobiling is about the connection between rider and machine—and the memories that come with every trip.

David McClure
@dmc150Eight-time World Champion hillclimb racer David McClure has spent three decades pushing the limits on a snowmobile. When he’s not riding, he’s busy being a dad, running his landscape company and farm, or finding another way to stay outdoors.

David McClure has been riding for about 30 years and has built an impressive career as an Arctic Cat hillclimb racer, earning eight World Championship titles and a spot on the Arctic Cat Blackcats team. Based in Swan Valley, Idaho, David loves riding close to home but has a soft spot for international adventures—Japan is high on his list. When winter isn’t calling, you’ll find him dirt biking, mountain biking, hunting, horseback riding or wake surfing. But family is at the center of it all. One of his dream snowmobile adventures? Taking an international snowmobile trip with his son.

Colton Sturm
@colt801Colton Sturm is the kind of rider who will happily take on just about anything—rough trails, big jumps, deep snow or even an ice-fishing trip. Growing up in a snowmobile family, sledding has been part of Colton’s life for as long as he can remember.

Based in Nisswa, Minnesota, Colton grew up riding with his family and was on his own Mini Z by age seven that he would run laps on until he ran out of gas. His riding eventually progressed into snocross and hillcross racing, where he developed an aggressive, high-speed style. These days, Colton enjoys a little bit of everything, but there’s something special about ripping through the woods with friends. He loves the freedom of exploring, the challenge of riding hard and just being on a snowmobile.
