They say the chase is as much fun as the catch, and goodness knows we spent some time running this winter. It’s years like this when you figure out what your riding partners are made of. Despite the lack of snow across most of western North America, the Boondockers crew managed to pull off one of our most memorable seasons to date. We hit the road in exploration of new riding locations off the beaten path and we sniffed out every potential storm like a bloodhound on a fresh scent, leaving no powder caches or technical lines untracked. The result were some of the most incredible terrain and footage ever captured in a sled film. Join us for the highs and lows of a challenging season with plenty of deep powder, big drops and jumps, and the endless pristine backcountry riding that you have come to expect from the Boondockers crew. Intended for audiences of all ages.
For the Boondockers crew, snowmobiling is all about the opportunity for adventure and exploration in the winter backcountry with good friends. A winter of exceptionally low snowfall at home made for a memorable season of weekend road trips and powder chasing. Along the way we rode many new locations, gathered countless stories, and still managed to find more powder than sense. Join the Boondockers crew for an unforgettable winter of exploration, deep powder, and plenty of laughs.
The 2018-2019 season brought near-record snowpack and a ridiculous number of deep powder days. The exceptionally deep base opened up new areas and technical creek bottoms that we never imagined possible. Join us for another winter of incredible boondocking, unbelievable scenic locations and plenty of adventures.

The film aspires to foster unity and collaboration within the outdoor community, transcending perceived hypocrisy and feelings of not fitting in. It aims to dismantle the culture of individual blame and guilt, focusing instead on the systemic shifts required to pave the way for a sustainable future.
