At 15 years old, most kids are still trying to figure out what they’re interested in.

Taos already knows.

In this episode, we sit down with one of the youngest Backwoods Retreat winners we’ve ever had on the podcast — a rider who has made real sacrifices to carve his own path in the sled industry.

He chose homeschool to pursue riding more seriously.
He’s stepping into Rmsha hillclimb racing.
He’s surrounding himself with mentors.
And he’s taking avalanche education and backcountry responsibility seriously.

This isn’t just about riding sleds.

It’s about discipline.
It’s about vision at a young age.
It’s about being intentional when most people are distracted.

We talk about:

• Why he chose homeschool to chase snowmobiling
• Getting into hillclimb racing
• The Backwoods Retreat experience
• Night rescue missions in the mountains
• Mentorship and earning your place
• Avalanche awareness and trailhead checks
• His long-term vision in the sled industry

Snowmobiling needs young riders who care about the craft, the culture, and the responsibility that comes with it.

This is one of them.
