About Sled Lab
I’ve Been Chasing Snow Since Before I Could Walk.
My first trip was at three months old, in a car seat headed into Brooks Lake Lodge, Wyoming. I don’t remember that one, but snowmobiling has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I raced dirt bikes for a while, but by high school, it was pretty clear—sleds were the passion.
That passion eventually became a career. I started in dealerships sweeping floors and worked my way through wrenching, service management, sales, and eventually into leadership and marketing. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to see the snowmobile industry from just about every angle.
But through all of it, one thing has stayed the same: I’m a rider first.
I love being in the backcountry, getting off trail, finding deep snow, and seeing what a machine can really do. And I’ve never been very good at leaving a sled alone. I’m always adjusting something, changing something, or looking for a way to make it run better.
That mindset is ultimately what led to Sled Lab.
There’s Got to Be a Better Way.
Sled Lab didn’t start because I set out to build a parts company. It started because I was trying to solve a problem on my own sled.
I had run other intake setups and knew there were good options out there, but I kept coming back to the same thought: there’s got to be another way.
In deep powder, airflow is everything. I wanted more airflow without giving up the factory airbox or adding something bulky that looked like an afterthought. I wanted a solution that performed better while staying sleek, low-profile, and integrated with the factory design.
So I started building one. Solving that first problem led to our plenum system. That led to the ColdFront Intake System. And from there, the ideas kept coming.
That’s how Sled Lab was born.
Why “Sled Lab”?
Every product starts the same way—with a problem, an idea, or something I think could work better. From there, it’s a process:
Build. Test. Ride. Learn. Improve.
That’s the lab.
