- Ever wonder what it’s like to attend a two-day snowmobile workshop with KLIM Backcountry Team athlete, Matt Entz, and stay at the Mountain Skillz lodge in South Fork, Colorado - complete with Entz family breakfast and dinner - Matt’s wife Jesse, with the help of their daughters, cook up some mean meals.
Bellies full, the experience starts with a quick stop at the couple’s on-site KLIM dealership for any forgotten last-minute gear, a quick check of the avalanche conditions along with a pre-ride safety pep talk and beacon check, before taking off to train in the backcountry and work on specific drills.
“I didn’t realize how much I was actually going to enjoy working with people and teaching them and how rewarding that was going to be,” Matt told us. “Helping people enjoy this snowmobiling experience more is what it’s all about and it really continues to drive me.” - Auta a dopravní prostředky

Awesome man!
It’s a dream of mine to someday attend a backcountry clinic like this!
Would be awesome to have you join us! Keep an eye out for episodes 2&3 for much more on snow action👍🏻
I would like to see these hot shot riders ride the steep & deep mountains on an old school mountain sled weighing 650# plus full of fuel with a 133 or 136 1.25 or 1.5 track like an old school 440 Phazer, 580 powder special, 580 XLT or 650 Ultra or 680 Summit .... I remember when the 2 inch paddle track was a game changer on deep wyoming days 😂 and than Santa Clause delivered me a riser bar Xmas .... Shout Out to SLP & Carls Cycle for the extra HP and the Colletion of Springs, Fly Weights & Helix collection ..... You young buck don't know how lucky you have it on these lite weight new hot rod sled thatv us old fart could only dream about 😂😂😂😂
I grew up on sleds from the 1970’s. We’ve come a long long way from bogie wheel and leaf spring suspensions and a carburetor in your lap to what we are so spoiled to ride nowadays! Spent time on all of those setups that you mentioned and thought they were awesome in their time.
@@entzmatt Agree 100% how about those heavy steel ski's when SLP came our with those ultra lite weight plastic bottom skis with a keel design the ability to steer and carve made slicing and dicing through the trees and side hill so much easier. The aftermarket guys built it which took the OEM's years to deliver.
@@user-mt6tz6gg4u funny story for ya…. My dad had a 1992 Polaris RXL SKS 650. Still came with steel skis back then. But he had a set of wide plastic ‘ski skins’ that mounted under the steel ski for a plastic surface. The extra width helped the front end of the sled stay on top of the snow better. At the time I was riding our 1979 el tigre 6000 and most of the time it was tough to keep up. This was loooong before radios, gps, or really any kind of communication/navigation devices. So I had to learn how to track him and I used the wider ski marks in the snow as a visual to always know which track was his. That’s about the only way I made it to the rest of the group most of the time.
