Maxceleration Racing is a snowmobile performance parts dealer and drag racing team based in Calgary, Alberta. It is owned and operated by Mike LaValley, who is in his third decade of competitive racing. Over the years, we have won championships on snow, ice and grass, having raced and won in every province in Western Canada. In the past, Maxceleration Racing have competed in almost every class in the sport from vintage to King of the Snow (now called Outlaw). While the team has always been competitive, results improved dramatically when we began to design our own engine modifications. All engine porting and head design on our two stroke sleds was executed by Maxceleration Racing with the assistance of several engine and pipe design computer software programs. While we have moved away from 2-stroke engine work, we now offer performance parts for for snowmobiles and are an official dealer for Hurricane Performance parts and accessories. Currently our racing focus is on our turbo-charged Yamaha Sidewinders and Arctic Cat King Cat. Our back-to-back Western Canadian Championship sleds were powered by Hurricane Performance parts and tunes. _______________________________________________________ Support this channel by becoming a Member.

Amy Gregorio is a long time friend of Snowmobile Sessions and we are excited to have her on the show to help raise some funds for a good cause - Kelly Shires Sno Run for Breast Cancer.

Amy Gregorio is a passionate snowmobiler, outdoor adventurer, and active voice in the snowmobiling community. As a Snow Team Leader for DSG Outerwear in Ontario, Amy represents a network of women riders who live for trail days, fresh snow, and the camaraderie that comes with exploring the outdoors together.  

Amy has also been deeply involved in giving back through snowmobiling — most notably by participating in the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Snow Run, an annual all-women’s fundraiser that raises money to provide direct financial assistance to individuals living with breast cancer across Canada.   She’s helped bring awareness, energy, and community support to the cause, showing how snowmobiling can be a force for good on and off the trails.  

In her local scene, Amy’s commitment to the sport extends beyond riding — she’s been recognized for her contributions to snowmobiling and community engagement, including involvement with clubs like the Stoney Keppel Riders and initiatives that promote safety, volunteerism, and the joy of winter riding.  

Whether she’s shredding trail, rallying riders for a great cause, or representing women in powersports, Amy brings enthusiasm, leadership, and an infectious love for snowmobiling to everything she does.

Passion is Power:  It can scale mountains. Turn a hard day’s work into a job well done. And, it can take a Minnesota-based snowmobile company from humble beginnings to one of the most inspiring names in powersports. At Arctic Cat, we live for the unforgettable and strive for the impossible. Because when our passion for building precision-engineered machines meets your passion for exploring the outdoors, there’s nothing beyond reach.

ARCTIC CAT HISTORY
We were born in the North, raised on snow and gravel, and we cut our teeth helping adventurers test their limits. And we still make our home on the great plains of Minnesota. Arctic Cat was formed by Edgar Hetteen in 1962, and transformed into a leading snowmobile, side-by-side and ATV manufacturer over decades of trail riding, racing and bringing friends and families together. Our community is tight-knit, passionate and proud. And we love being part of it.

Today, the bulk of our manufacturing happens at our facility in Thief River Falls, MN, with trails in our backyard and the mountains just a day’s drive away. Our vehicles explore the world, but they all start with American workers and an American work ethic. Just one more reason we’re proud to stand behind every machine we make.

In 2025, former Arctic Cat executive Brad Darling and an investment group acquired the business. Darling took over as CEO and president, stating his commitment to continuing the brand’s history of producing machines that bring the passion on and off the trail:

The pursuit of the checkered flag is in Arctic Cat’s DNA. It's what we were built on. Like anyone who has ever grabbed the throttle, it's a relentless drive that pushes us forward and sparks our passion. This is the start of a new chapter, one where Arctic Cat returns to the race, but with a powerful understanding — this race is never-ending, and our intent is to lead.

Whether you're on-trail, off-trail, reaching new elevations or pushing limits on the track, we’re ready to support every checkered flag in your future. Arctic Cat is here to Share Our Passion with you for generations to come.

Tomas Berntsson was the founder of TOBE Outerwear and changed the way snowmobilers look at outerwear.  Tomas Pioneered the Monosuit and developed clothing that just works in the outdoors.  Forced out of his own company, Tomas has recently started a new brand Mountain Grit with the original core from TOBE Outerwear— Tomas, with Alex and Marianne there from the early days. Having built a global brand, we learned what it takes to make great gear, and what gets lost when big-money investors step in. We've left to start a new chapter, one that's free from outside interests and true to our original vision: building honest, purpose-driven gear for the community that raised us.

Tomas is a true entrepreneur with deep roots in the sledding community. Tomas has a rare, hands-on understanding of what it takes to build a brand from the ground up, turning vision into a reality that resonates with riders.

Taylor Gidney — better known online as @mama_gids — has been riding sleds for nearly her entire life. She grew up snowmobiling in Ontario, first riding “squirrel” with her dad when her hands were barely big enough to hold the gas cap of an old Polaris Indy. At age 9, she got her very own sled alongside her brother — and that’s when she got hooked

Taylor has been riding snowmobiles practically her whole life. From growing up on the trails of Ontario to carving deep-powder lines in British Columbia, she’s built a reputation as a passionate rider, a strong advocate for women in sledding, and a leader in the back-country community. She’s also a former Widescape ambassador and co-creator of a swag line that funds avalanche safety training for women riders.

Derek Corey, President and Engineer at Ruffian Snowbikes, grew up riding and working on dirt bikes and snowmobiles. It was natural for him to put the two together in a thoughtful manner that focused on performance. All of Derek’s passion, experience, and creativity are funneled into Ruffian Snowbikes. Ruffian is not just a company, it’s a way of life. Although Ruffian has a lot of definitions, we define Ruffian as a tough non-conforming person. At Ruffian, Derek builds tough snowbikes and refuses to conform. His goal every day is to push the limits, being the leader in the industry for performance and design.

Founded in 2018, Ruffian Snowbikes Corporation designs, engineers and builds snowbikes with the rider in mind. Our unique designs allow the bikes to be fun, capable and dependable, while being easy to ride and maintain. Every design has been torture-tested in the field to stand up to the hardest riding and conditons. No one puts our bikes through extremes like we do, pushing the limits of what is possible.  Our mission is to give you a fun, worry-free ride for years to come.

Levi started riding snowmobiles at the young age of eight and from the start, he was hooked and wanted to give racing a try. After placing 2nd in his first snowmobile race, Levi has continued to succeed in racing and worked his way up to the Pro Class in 2003. With the desire to win and the need for speed, after multiple snocross podiums and wins, Levi had the opportunity to try snowmobile freestyle. With the tricks coming naturally, Levi was able to win his first freestyle competition he entered (with only a month of practice) and was awarded an invite to compete in Freestyle, Speed & Style and Snocross in the 2008 Winter X Games (the most disciplines any snowmobile athlete had ever competed in). Since then, Levi has continued to compete in all Snowmobile disciplines in the Winter X Games. He has earned himself a total of 13 Winter X Games medals (7 of which are gold), a snocross Championship Title, the first athlete to attempt a double backflip on a snowmobile and holds the current world record for longest snowmobile distance jump of 412ft (2011 Red Bull: New Year. No Limits. live on ESPN). 


If being a racer and a freestyle rider wasn’t enough, Levi embarked upon a new opportunity of Team Owner, Team LaVallee in 2009. The future? It is unknown, but one this is certain- Levi has the determination and the desire to continue pushing the limits and elevating the sport of snowmobiling.
