In this episode, we break down five things we wish we knew in our first year of riding — lessons that only come from experience, mistakes, and time on the snow.From hesitation and confidence, to gear choices, fitness, avalanche awareness, and riding with people who push you to get better, this conversation is all about shortening the learning curve for newer riders and helping experienced riders reflect on what actually matters.If you’re in your first few seasons — or even a few years in — this episode will challenge the way you think about progression, risk, and what really makes someone a better rider over time.Stick around until the end and let us know:What’s one thing you wish you knew in your first year of riding?Check out SledSend Merch Here 👇🏻https://sledsend.com/collections/allApply to be a SledSend Team Riderhttps://form.jotform.com/sledsend/ambassadorteam-rider-form?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnTQDRIIrmuoFG7MmjAz5Fea6iUg9SGCFv6w7wefPXvx3mxqEa3njSH7Uhrco_aem_lsgxd9kUzsG125x0WIET5AUse these discounts codes from our sponsors - ArcticFX Graphics, Backwoods BMP, Avid Products, Oxbow Gear, RSI, SECO, 1ST Phorm, KLIM, FireNICE, TruckBoss, and Carbon Pursuit. 👇🏻 https://form.jotform.com/sledsend/ambassadorteam-rider-form?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnTQDRIIrmuoFG7MmjAz5Fea6iUg9SGCFv6w7wefPXvx3mxqEa3njSH7Uhrco_aem_lsgxd9kUzsG125x0WIET5ASupporting SponsorsPolarisOuter ImpactMorrow County Grain GrowersFor ALL of your Polaris needs, contact Ralph with Morrow County Grain Growers.541-256-0229

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.Check out SledSend Merch Here 👇🏻https://sledsend.com/collections/all Apply to be a SledSend Team Riderhttps://form.jotform.com/sledsend/ambassadorteam-rider-formUse these discounts codes from our sponsors - ArcticFX Graphics, Backwoods BMP, Avid Products, Oxbow Gear, RSI, SECO, 1ST Phorm, KLIM, FireNICE, TruckBoss, and Carbon Pursuit. 👇🏻 https://bio.site/sledsend Supporting SponsorsPolarisOuter ImpactMorrow County Grain GrowersFor ALL of your Polaris needs, contact Ralph with Morrow County Grain Growers.541-256-0229

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.Check out SledSend Merch Here 👇🏻https://sledsend.com/collections/all Apply to be a SledSend Team Riderhttps://form.jotform.com/sledsend/ambassadorteam-rider-formUse these discounts codes from our sponsors - ArcticFX Graphics, Backwoods BMP, Avid Products, Oxbow Gear, RSI, SECO, 1ST Phorm, KLIM, FireNICE, TruckBoss, and Carbon Pursuit. 👇🏻 https://bio.site/sledsend Supporting SponsorsPolarisOuter ImpactMorrow County Grain GrowersFor ALL of your Polaris needs, contact Ralph with Morrow County Grain Growers.541-256-0229

Every rider has that one day on the mountain where everything goes sideways, and this episode is packed with all of ours.From tree collisions and blown belts to lost gear, shoulder injuries, stuck throttles, and near-misses we still can’t explain, we are sharing the stories we usually do not talk about. No lessons, no analyzing, just pure chaos, bad luck, and the moments that turned great rides into unforgettable disasters.If you have ever had a day on the snow that humbled you, you are going to relate to this one.And if you have not yet, enjoy learning from our pain.Tap in and laugh with us or at us.

In today’s episode, Brett shares the story that changed everything — the day a simple mistake on the mountain turned into a near-death accident that left him trapped under his sled, fighting to stay calm, fighting to stay conscious, and fighting to survive.Doctors told him he may never use his hand again.He was staring down the possibility of losing the very thing that made him feel alive. But what happened next wasn’t just a recovery story — it was the start of something bigger.As Brett battled surgeries, fear, and the mental spiral that comes with losing your identity, the Sled Send Brotherhood stepped in. The same guys he’d barely met became the people who kept him grounded, checked on him, encouraged him, and reminded him he wasn’t alone.That support changed him.It reshaped how he thinks, how he rides, how he shows up as a husband and new father — and how he approaches life.This episode dives deep into the accident itself, the 45 minutes he spent pinned under his machine, the long road through pain and physical therapy, and the mindset that carried him back to the snow. But it also reveals how brotherhood, community, and shared purpose helped rebuild not just his arm… but his identity.If you’ve ever felt broken, alone, or unsure of who you are after life hits you hard — Brett’s story will stick with you.Check out SledSend Merch Here 👇🏻https://sledsend.com/collections/all Apply to be a SledSend Team Riderhttps://form.jotform.com/sledsend/ambassadorteam-rider-formUse these discounts codes from our sponsors - ArcticFX Graphics, Backwoods BMP, Avid Products, Oxbow Gear, RSI, SECO, 1ST Phorm, KLIM, FireNICE, TruckBoss, and Carbon Pursuit. 👇🏻 https://bio.site/sledsend Supporting SponsorsPolarisOuter ImpactMorrow County Grain GrowersFor ALL of your Polaris needs, contact Ralph with Morrow County Grain Growers.541-256-0229

Everyone says you need the latest $25K setup to really ride.Leon proved otherwise.In this episode, we sit down to hear how he got into sledding — starting with an old Yamaha, how he sold a goat to fund his next sled (yeah, an actual goat), and a mindset that’s all about chasing good snow.We talk about what keeps people hooked on this sport, how the SledSend brotherhood fills that same void team sports used to, and why it’s not about what you own, it’s about who you ride with and your mindset.Check out SledSend Merch Here 👇🏻https://sledsend.com/collections/all Apply to be a SledSend Team Riderhttps://form.jotform.com/sledsend/ambassadorteam-rider-formUse these discounts codes from our sponsors - ArcticFX Graphics, Backwoods BMP, Avid Products, Oxbow Gear, RSI, SECO, 1ST Phorm, KLIM, FireNICE, TruckBoss, and Carbon Pursuit. 👇🏻 https://bio.site/sledsend Supporting SponsorsPolarisOuter ImpactMorrow County Grain GrowersFor ALL of your Polaris needs, contact Ralph with Morrow County Grain Growers.541-256-0229
