When asked why they ride snowmobiles, people often say things like “It’s a stress reliever” or “It’s a great way to see the backcountry.” Others love the sport because they say it’s in their blood—I am one of those people. I’ve had the privilege of growing up with parents who took their machines out every winter to go riding with friends and family. My passion for the sport has remained through my teenage years and into adulthood. Now, it is a hobby I am pleased to share with my husband.

As a writer for SnoRiders, I get to hear great riding stories from readers (and share some of my own adventures); I also have the chance to learn about popular sledding areas and speak to snowmobiling enthusiasts from Western Canada and elsewhere.

If you have a story that you’d like to share, know of an outstanding rider who should be recognized or would just like to talk about snowmobiling, please email me.
