About the Show

The Backcountry Powcast is your ticket to the deep snow, steep climbs, and wild stories of backcountry snowmobiling for Midwest snowmobilers. Whether you’re a seasoned rider chasing untouched snow or just getting started, this show dives into everything sledding — from gear talk to epic rides, wipeouts, and the culture that makes the backcountry community so addictive. Each episode brings a mix of rider stories, expert insights, and plenty of braap-filled banter. If your idea of a good time involves sleds, deep powder, and the occasional “stuck happens” moment, you’re in the right place.
