Jarrod Raper said his parents first “threw me on a sled” when he was around 6, and he was immediately hooked on snowmobiling. He started riding snowmobiles at age 10.  He’s known around Steamboat Springs for leading backcountry rides, and he thrives on “the connection you make with other people, taking them out riding and experiencing true backcountry riding. he started working for Colorado Sled Rentals 2 years ago, and has been professionally guiding sense then. He loves seeing people get stuck, ride, learn and have fun all day! He is a true ambassador of the sport!”
