Describe yourself in 3 words: Adventurous, Motivated, and Handy.

How did your interest in sleds start? Riding with my dad, Brian McLean. He always taught me to have dessert first so you’re never too full. Snowmobiling is very much that, Dessert! The chores can wait when it's snowing because why miss out on all the fun! 

Why are you a member of the ASA? To pay it forward! Not only do I purchase an ASA trail membership I volunteer with my Local Club. So many before us did their part to build up the sport of snowmobiling in Alberta. It's now my time to shine and get my hands dirty. Being part of this awesome organization just proves that if you work together, the plan will succeed.

 
What’s your “real job?” In the real world, I’m the 12 Volt Category Manager for DIX Performance North / JBs Power Centre.

Who makes up your typical riding crew? My wife Lisa Mclean and I are riding Soulmates. We go everywhere together, whether it’s a 10km trail check or a 500km enduro ride across the province. Our group can swell from the two of us to upwards of 30 on any given weekend. We love sharing our passion for snowmobiling with others!

 
Favourite Alberta trail to ride? The Golden Triangle​​​​​​​

Bucket list place to ride? I would love to check out Quebec and do a Big 2000+km ride someday!
