Chris Burandt

Athlète

Ville natale : Buena Vista, Colorado

Chris has been riding sleds since he was six years old and has been fortunate enough to do tons of cool stuff on his machine throughout the years. Whether it was racing Snocross back in the day, traveling all over the world doing freestyle, competing at the Jackson Hole Hill Climb World Championship, or pushing boundaries out in the backcountry, his happy place in life is on his sled.

Snowmobiling is what he truly lives for, but he also enjoys anything outdoors like chasing his kids around on their dirt bikes, ripping RZRs in the mountains, hunting elk with his bow in September, or getting lost in the woods. He feels blessed to be able to make his passion his profession. He has operated his backcountry guiding business for almost 20 years now and continues to push boundaries in the backcountry on his machine.

What's the one snowmobiling destination every rider should visit and why?

"Without question, British Columbia has to be on everyone's bucket list. The magnitude of the terrain and the quality of the snow are second to none. Not to mention the overall feel of the snowmobile community up there is infectious!"
