RedSherpa.com is a snowmobile magazine and social network for freeriders. It is created by freeriders that travel worldwide to explore big mountains with epic riding. We have a background as snowmobilers, skiers and snowboarders since the 80's. Today most of us find sledding as the ultimate mountain riding, but some of us bring the skis and snowboards on the sled once and a while too. Our site offer a lot of the features you find on major networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, plus great stories, news and amazing photography.

The Lamtrac/G-Force 1, world speed record holder on 1000cc engine, was invited to Bonneville Salt Flats International speedway in Sept 20-26. This was the first snowmobile to attempt the record at the world re-known race track in the salt desert of Utah.

The International Snowmobile Hall of Fame (ISHOF) is now located in the World Snowmobile Headquarters (WSHQ) in Eagle River, Wisconsin.

People who, despite being born all thumbs, would like to actually repair something once in a while. It’s time to honor these patron saints of the building-impaired!

BEING JOE DIRT

So being a snowmobile reporter and traveling the world in 1st class is a dream of yours? Do you honestly think I always get to hang out with cool people and see the places others just dream of? I bet you even think I'm getting laid every night and get free crap from companies that want me to write nice things about them.

Well, your gosh-dang right! My life rocks and I wouldn’t trade with YOU for all the two-stroke oil in the world. In fact, I wouldn’t trade you even if you offered Jenna Jameson and a Hemi covered in whipped cream with red cherries waiting for me at a NASCAR race, which would of course  be included together with Neverland, Bubbles the monkey, and season tickets to the Def Leopard reunion tour.
