About Us
ADK Sled Chicks began in 2023 during a time of major transition in my life. Following a divorce, I found myself suddenly feeling helpless in a sport I had grown to love. Although I still owned my sleds, I no longer had a truck or trailer to transport them, which meant relying on others—something that was far outside my comfort zone. That experience sparked a desire to become more independent so I could continue riding without having to ask for help or depend on someone else to move my sleds.
As I began talking about this with friends, it became clear that my experience was not unique. Many women shared that they relied heavily on their significant other for nearly every aspect of snowmobiling. They also expressed a strong interest in learning more about maintenance, troubleshooting, trailering, and overall sled knowledge so they could feel more confident and self-sufficient.
This realization led me to create a Women’s Snowmobile Clinic in collaboration with a local powersports dealer. The goal was to provide a safe, supportive environment where women could learn together, share experiences, and ask questions without fear of judgment. Designed for riders of all skill levels, the clinic covered trailering basics, sled mechanics, essential gear, safety tips, and hands-on troubleshooting.
The response was incredible. In our first year, 50 women attended, and most recently we welcomed approximately 30 participants. The feedback made it clear that many women wanted even more information and a way to stay connected beyond the clinic. That desire for continued learning and community is what ultimately led to the creation of ADK Sled Chicks—a space for women in the Adirondack area to connect, support one another, ask questions, share knowledge, and build friendships both on and off the trail.
