After five years of Boondockers snowmobile videos you might say they are lucky to be alive, and They are not talking about the crashes and wrecks. Boondocking has come to mean more than just mind-numbing powder days, adrenaline-pumping drops, and technical climbs—it’s a lifestyle where dedication and hard work provide the ultimate payout. Just like you we’ve spent our winters tracking every minute of every day. Riding till your heart screams, digging till your lungs burn, and pushing the limits of endurance, we guess you could say they have been living in dog years. This is the best Boondockers to date: an anniversary tribute to an endless winter of deep powder, unexplored terrain, and the unforgettable footage that tells the story. Lucky to be alive?

The Boondockers 6 snowmobile video tells the story of an incredible winter through the eyes of a dedicated group of riders who share a common passion for the steep and deep. From ridiculous jumps and drops, to adrenaline-pumping climbs and over-the-head powder lines that give new meaning to the phrase “Heaven on Earth,” this season no one held back and the bar was raised with every ride.

Why? It’s the question often posed to those of us who enjoy a little more adventure than the average person. Why do we brave the harsh conditions of the winter backcountry to risk life, limb, and machine every season? The simple answer of course, but the one that only a dedicated rider would understand is “because it’s there,” the famous response of climbing pioneer George Mallory. The longer answer is the neck-deep powder days and endless boondocking, adrenaline-pumping jumps and cliff drops, the camaraderie and the countless stories, and the unbelievable landscapes that serve as a backdrop for it all. Record snowfall throughout the Rocky Mountains during the 2010-2011 winter resulted in the deepest powder days in memory and a riding year extending from October to July. Follow the riders of Boondockers on an incredible adventure through the western United States and Canada and discover why we love this sport.

What do you do when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate? Load up the sleds and hit the road! That’s exactly what the Boondockers crew did for the filming of the Boondockers 9 snowmobile DVD during the winter of 2011-2012, logging thousands of miles chasing storms and exploring new locations. This winter the riders pushed further into the backcountry in search of deep snow and technical terrain. What resulted are the most incredible scenes we’ve ever captured on film. New locations filled with endless canyons of untracked powder, pristine river valleys, and rugged mountain landscapes set the stage for a film that is all about pure backcountry snowmobiling and those who live for it. Watch as riders take lightweight turbo sleds to new levels, re-defining what’s “possible” with huge air, technical lines, and unbelievable champagne powder. Join the Boondockers crew for an epic adventure through the Rocky Mountains in search of the most spectacular riding conditions.

The Boondockers series was founded on a desire to truly explore the winter backcountry. To seek the highest vistas, discover the most challenging terrain and chase the perfect conditions - we developed a new set of technical riding skills that beat a path for the snowmobile industry to follow. While the Boondockers mantra remains steadfast, advances in equipment and rider prowess have pushed the journey to places unimaginable ten years ago. Join the Boondockers crew as we recap an unforgettable season that included ridiculously deep days, incredible new riding locations and the outrageous action you have come to expect from this crew of dedicated backcountry riders. Last December a series of early storms resulted in the deepest powder we have encountered and set a fitting stage for our tenth anniversary.

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.
