There’s always something special about that first snowmobile ride. It wasn’t until high school that Minnesota native Ashleigh Abner discovered her passion for snowmobiling.

She noticed that along with drivers’ licenses and hand-me-down Volvo’s her classmates were also finding freedom on the trails and in the backcountry with their sleds. She knew she wanted in.

For her 16th birthday, Abner bought herself her very first sled – a 2010 bright yellow Ski-Doo MXZ 600. It didn’t take long for that passion to take full flight as she started her Sled Girlz Riding Company. Her mission: Empower female riders in a male-dominated sport. And she’s been absolutely crushing it. Along with snowmobile apparel for women, part of Sled Girlz’s mission is creating a community of female riders that encourages and provides a comfortable place for women to grow and learn the sport of snowmobiling together.

Abner points to the fact that snowmobiling is a sport that can be enjoyed and embraced by everyone. Whether you’re a trail rider or enjoy the deep snow in the backcountry, Mother Nature’s winter beauty is astounding. Add to that the places, people and lifetime of memories and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a lifelong addiction.

When asked what advice she had for new riders to the sport, the first thing from her lips was to join a riding clinic. Practice, practice, practice and never stop learning. After a decade of riding snowmobiles, her only wish is that she had discovered That Ski-Doo Feeling sooner.

Uvijek postoji nešto posebno u toj prvoj vožnji motornim sanjkama. Tek u srednjoj školi Ashleigh Abner, rođena u Minnesoti, otkrila je svoju strast za motornim sanjkama.

Primijetila je da zajedno s vozačkim dozvolama i predanim Volvom njezini kolege iz razreda također pronalaze slobodu na stazama i u prirodi sa svojim sanjkama. Znala je da želi ući.

Za svoj 16. rođendan, Abner je sebi kupila svoje prve sanjke – jarko žute Ski-Doo MXZ 600 iz 2010. Nije trebalo dugo da se ta strast u potpunosti razbukta kad je pokrenula svoju Sled Girlz Riding Company. Njezina misija: Osnažiti vozačice u sportu u kojem dominiraju muškarci. I apsolutno ga je uništila. Uz žensku odjeću za motorne sanke, dio misije Sled Girlz-a je stvaranje zajednice vozačica koja potiče i pruža udobno mjesto za žene da rastu i zajedno uče sport motornih sanjki.

Abner ukazuje na činjenicu da je motorne sanke sport u kojem mogu uživati ​​i prigrliti svi. Bilo da ste vozač staza ili uživate u dubokom snijegu u prirodi, zimska ljepota majke prirode je zapanjujuća. Dodajte tome mjesta, ljude i uspomene na cijeli život i dobili ste savršeni recept za doživotnu ovisnost.

Na pitanje što je savjetovala novim jahačima u sportu, prvo što joj je s usana izgovorila bilo je pridružiti se klinici za jahanje. Vježbajte, vježbajte, vježbajte i nikad ne prestanite učiti. Nakon desetljeća vožnje motornim sanjkama, jedina želja joj je da što prije otkrije taj Ski-Doo Feeling.
