He also loves meeting new people and sharing his riding experiences. His greatest accomplishment so far was when he ran into a couple of brand-new riders while he was out one day. He took the opportunity to teach them how to operate their brand new machines, discuss best practices – still to this day he regularly talks and rides with them when possible. This season he is super stoked to be exploring new areas like Whistler, BC!

Dawson has been an active member of the snowmobiling community for over 15 years. His favorite part of the sport is the sense of freedom. He says it is his happy place and there is nothing that can bother his mind while on the mountain. His biggest accomplishment so far was when he saved up enough money after working all summer at 16 to buy his first brand new snowchecked sled. This year he is looking forward to building on the progression he made last season and is itching to hit the ground running and keep taking that progress higher and higher.
