"better to lose time than lives" great quote from jerry

Being able to see everyone’s POV when you tried the first drainage and debating what to do was really cool. Showing what to do in a sketchy situation and educating with commentary afterwards is also something I would love to see more of when these things happen on the mountain

I can relate to Jason so much!! We need more of him!

Great video. Something I notice is when things got serious you went from calling your dad Jerry to just Dad. Think it really shows in a time of vulnerability everyone goes back to that security of father/son relationship and the love between them.

As a guy who rides with his son, roughly the same age as Jerry and Matt, my greatest fear is still seeing my son get hurt or killed. As a father you never lose that feeling of being totally responsible, regardless how much experience your son has. AT this moment Jerry is getting it doubly bad as two of his sons are out there. Thanks for keeping it real and not editing out your mistakes and your family's responses to the scenario.

I sure can relate to Jason’s struggles 😄

Smash does such a good job talking through riding. Your father is a great rider, cares more about the group than having “fun”. What a great family you have and what a great way to keep those memories with your channel.

Have jason in more videos. I loved him in there, seeing an average rider that only rides a couple times per year. I loved his commentating. Good job Matt, Jerry, and Jason

'Better to lose time than lives' Jerry.. your should get this written on winter base layer clothing and add it to the merch.

Id buy it.

61 years old and still getting after it. Jerry is my hero…great content….don’t you hate it when you have a “beginner day”?😂like it’s your first day!

It is so cool seeing jason and his POV, hes a great teacher for us more average riders giving the little advice pieces that he receives, it would be so cool to see his progression

Cackling at Jason this whole video 😂😂

Jason is awesome and so relatable

One of my favorite episodes. First, family ride. Second, bad decisions and a good recovery from those. Third, Smash kicked ass, good job buddy. Great demo on how to deal with adversity. Just another day in the bush, eh!?? 👍

Mine too! So good!

That was the best one yet , Dad and his boys you know it is real when hear the tone in dads voice ,great demonstration of what could happen and how to get around it good team work great day .

From scary to goofing around. Full circle! All learning moments.

Great vid as usual. When your dad called you Matthew, I knew there was some serious concern going on. Stay safe out there!

Quite possibly the most educational video you have edited without intending it to be educational. The cameras on everyone and all the different perspectives of that avy risk in that drainage. Keep it up Matt!!!

Like I don’t know why but actually a little emotional watching this, don’t know any of you and will most likely never ride with you, but would never hesitate to ride with the Muskoka crew. Truly a video of mad props to you Matt!!

Great video I sure do love that you get your brother and dad up with you , my dad passed away last year we use to love snowmobiling together late into the Eastern Canadian night, tske a minute enjoy it man don't take it for granted,I'm not afraid to say I'm jealous of what you get to do with your dad , enjoy it man

This is definitely an important video for people to watch. You need to always be alert and pay attention to hazards while you ride. Thanks for showing all of us how you evaluate and deal with high risk situations. You have a great team that knows how to work together, your Dad did a good job :). Another Great Video Matt!

This is such a great real life account of managing avy conditions. Situations like this always create feelings of "shoulda, coulda, woulda" but one thing I felt was spot on was your group communication. Jerry's knowledge was impressive too. Did anyone notice that as avy hazards rise, Jerry's profanity seems to fall? Thanks for sharing!

100 percent! With the size of the channel Im glad he shows his critical thinking in these situations.

Our group dropped into something similar last Winter...we ended up in a drainage we couldn't get out of which led to our group spending the night in the woods. Luckily our group was fairly prepared. After a fairly miserable night, we made our way out. Lessons learned....it's DEFINITELY part of sledding. It takes balls to post this Matt. Love your consistency too, you're crushing!

Good or bad Matt, I think it’s great you posted it, maybe it’ll open some eyes, good to see some real time situations, great communication, and composure guys, stay safe

Awesome video! I especially like Jason's riding segments as that's much more realistic for us flat landers that ride in the mountains one trip per year...although Jason is still better! Jerry at 59 years old (my age) is very impressive as well. I wish I had sons that could ride like you, Matt! Again, great stuff!!

Jason commentary and riding is way more relatable for the majority of us I feel 😂 the struggles no matter how in shape you are, sledding kicks ass!

You guys sure as hell worked for it today . great job avoiding danger. Jason had me cheering for him all video.

Your brother pulls a sick line “well that’s as good as it gets for me” I died 🤣

This was probably my favorite video all year. Seeing someone closer to my riding level work through skill is great. I can sympathize with Jason, endless cardio fitness gets neutralized instantly when riding! Hope to see more of this kind of content!

Loving your new format, Matt. Perfectly fitting Avatars, haha love Jerry's 😂😂. Your family adventures with multiple perspectives add much to your videos. Thank you!!

I enjoyed the narration from all 3 of you. Good stuff getting the rider perspective on events that transpire. Thank you for sharing glad all are safe.

That was thriller! Thanks Muskoka crew.

That was awesome, 2 brothers and dad making great memories riding Jerry's sleds! I can relate to Jason's riding style.

I never want to see anyone get stuck BUT at 33:53 when Smash says "lets see if I can do this without doing anything stupid this time," I gotta say .. I was REALLY hoping for an editors cut where the very next second was a sled upside down LOL What a scary start to the vid. As a dad, seeing my two boys in that position would be terrifying. Dont matter their ability .. anything can happen. SUPER glad you guys are good riders and were able to come out of it.

Posted that before the end. Christ, I was almost in tears. Its one thing to ride with your buddies. But the memories you guys are making for your family? Priceless man. You guys are super lucky. Matt/Smash: hold on to these moments. My dad is 72 and has a bunch of health issues and the 'stuff' i can do with him is very limited. You are so so fortunate and I couldnt be happier for you guys.

Great to see your bother have such a great time and not give up !

Awesome video Mat coming from a search and rescue background this would be a great trainning video on decision making and really brings to light thinking through the plan once everyone's in a safe spot. I now provide safety trainning and would like to use this as a great example of stopping and thinking of the best solution, running that solution by the team to see if anyone can add to the plan. Well done and very humble of you to share, not many extreme riders would do that. Kudos to you on better trainning last year!

Awesome video Matt, cool to see everyone’s POV in a situation like this. Thanks for sharing!

Great vid as always. Appreciate your willingness to share a rare miss on the initial avy hazard eval. If you spend enough time in the mtns you will make mistakes now and then, but you course corrected with good communication and respect for the terrain/consequences. Like that your group spoke up when uncomfortable, gave alternate options for comms etc. Good dynamic. It's clear you have a good mtn sense. Always a fine line between comfortable and overconfident when we're able to get out daily. - A guy that mostly skis but likes to braap too. I teach awareness level avy courses in my free time.

This is a great avy awareness video that showcases decision making in high stress situations. Great work, great communication dealing with the hazard. You can second guess what you did afterwards and think of what you could have done differently. Your training came into play and you made the best possible decisions in the moment. You're even more educated and humbled now to how fast a scenerio can change. Hats off to you guys

I liked how Jason would say things that you and or your dad had taught him and he would share it with us. I got a few good tips that I will definitely try when out. Getting stuck is a big part of snowmobiling and having better ways and easier way to get out always helps. Thanks again. Keep up the family bonding.

One of your best yet. The avy situation was cool to watch even though it was sketchy and watching your brother mastering the techniques was entertaining af. Just a goofing around kinda day. Keep the bangers coming

One of your best videos yet. Amazingly informative. Please do more like this! You may save someone's life.

I appreciate you showing this footage we watch and you guys always seem to make the right decisions it’s good for everyone to know that even very experienced riders make mistakes. Keep up the good work!

Your brother improved a lot from the beginning of the video to the end of the video, Great job! Nice to see a day with the family!!!

Love this video, what a great teaching opportunity. It was great to hear everyone's opinion of the situation. May be the mom in me but is was great to hear your brother laughing his way through the day!! Glad you are able to have this family experience.

Awesome video!!!! totally want to see more family rides. that was so amazing watching all of you deal with the bad situation and talk/work your way through. Jason is great! It would be awesome to see how much he improves through the season.

Great video! Seeing how much fun your brother was having and seeing you and Jerry enjoying it as well made me smile. Glad you all had a great time and made it out safely.

Thanks for posting, it sucks to mess up a read on a situation but showing it to the world to help teach or raise awareness is a admirable thing to do.

Great video. Glad you shared because every backcountry rider has probably been in a similar situation. I liked how Jerry said he won't panic. Keeping a cool head makes those situation a lot easier to handle.

This video was very touching. You could really feel the family bond. What a fantastic day!!! Keep it up -Ward

Enjoying the different pace videos! Jerry content is always awesome!

Great learning experience to share with everyone, might be one of the best videos of the season! Showing everyone the mistakes made, critiques and decisions to find a better alternative is a crucial lesson for everyone who spends time in the backcountry. We all make mistakes and this one will help plenty of us learn from your experience. Cheers boys 🙏🏾

I love the concept of this video, definitely need a video of the mic setup. Keep up the great work!!

Excellent job not losing focus and maintaining some common sense. Those two attributes will help you out of many bad situations! Great vid of you three. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video today Matt, one of your besf 👌🏻🙌🏻 real entertainment for sure. Glad you guys are okay 🙏🏻

Love this pov concept, Goodjob hope you succed in every aspect of life. Great job getting out of that shitty situation, you guys are professional.

Might be my fav episode so far. Love the wholesomeness of having fun with the fam.

Very good that you put that situation in the video. It shows how quickly it changes.

Jason's hilarious when he's talking about himself riding...😂 👍

I really enjoyed this video. All your attitudes were great. Family time can't be beat. Thanks for the great videos this year.

The classic look where you ride phenominom. Jason when side hilling is concerned with the slopes and he looks down and sure enough he rides in the direction he's looking. Look where you want to ride and this keeps your shoulders square to the hillside. Never look down.

these videos with different povs are next level! awesome content matt!

Great edit. It is good to show all the different skill level POV's. The good, the bad, and the sketchy points of riding. Plus riding with just your family is a great day. Keep it up and enjoy the good times!

Great vid Matt, love seeing the family having fun together. Lots of laughs 🤣

Great video! Just not only showing the great gives a realistic view of the dangers of what you are doing. Stay safe and keep filming.

Good to see the avvy discussion. Also happy seeing the POV and comments from Jason, sometimes I feel like my fitness and ability will never catch up to this but now I feel a bit better about myself haha

Your brother is right about training. I usually do a lot of deadlifts in the gym to prepare for snowmobile season :)

Your family dynamic is amazing man. So cool to be in the backcountry snowmobiling with them! Glad you guys made it out of that Creek. Also shoutout Jerry guy is absolutely getting it this year! What an animal.

Love this video, it is a nice change from all the crazy stuff you do with the boys. Nice to see you guys having fun as a family. Be cool to do a video kind of like a riding clinic with Jason showing him what he is doing wrong and how to correct it. Be cool to get those coms working and give him one, that way you can explain to him in real time.

Such a great video! Some good lessons and a lot of laughs😂 probably my favorite this year.

Wholesome Video man. Cherish these times with your bro and dad! Glad the av danger worked out good in the end. I think when riding with Your dad and brother only those are the perfect days for you to ride the 9R.

Dude such a good video! Was rad seeing Jason struggle and have fun and the whole family gettin rowdy!

One of my favourite episodes to date! Keep up the great work!! Loved it!

Love the family outro!! What a day for the books! Stay humble my friend we are all human! Learn from your experiences. As always keep up the dope vids.

Great video. I really like seeing all sides of riding and really enjoying the not as good of rider POV, because I would probably ride worse than that. At least you stay warm when your always stuck.

I got caught in a slide a few yrs ago on my 300hp 165 turbo nytro, as soon as I saw the slab break I leaned over and pinned it agaoss the slab as it started comin down. Screwin around in avy territory isnt worth a little bit of fun to me, decent hills n such yeah all day but avy chutes? No way bud, thats asking for trouble. Good job for everyone staying calm and collected, panicing is the worst thing you could do.

That video was a ton of fun! Started out a little dramatic but still very entertaining! I saw myself as a rider in your brother, skill level wise. The struggle is real.

Great video. Love the family aspect and everyone’s commentary

Became a fan of your channel. I like the fact you’re all out to have fun. Also like that you can own up to your mistakes and get everyone out of a possible sticky situation. Wish I could ride in the mountains.

All of your videos are good, but this one was extra special ! Thanks for all of your work putting together.

That’s the best having fun with Dad and brother… love all the videos!

If it wasnt for the avy danger at the start i would have called this one the Smash Chronicles. Really got to see some of your shared mannerisms when he was given'r. One of my favorite videos this year!

I dunno Matt….if Smash starts his own channel he may give you a run for your money! 😂 love it! He is riding really well though, he sure has made a ton of progress. Keep up the good work guys and stay safe. “I think he’s ok”😂

As a father that has 2 boys I could only hope that they grow up and can interact like you and Jason. The way he listens to your instruction without question or bickering is a pretty rare thing.

A lot of raw emotions in everyone's voices. Glad everyone made it out ok!!!

Great video on how to think and get out of a iffy situation by not panicking and just doing!

That JASON shout at 43:10 is not just a jason shout. Its a shout only a dad can master

Very nice video. Great to see just family and different experience on sleds.

What a great video. So much fun to watch you all ride like champs. I can assure you that Jason is much much better rider than me. Cool stuff guys!

Love seeing the fam riding!

Pretty cool when brothers turn from beating each other up... to brothers gotta hug man! haha Dad is a boss, he is living his best life for sure! Great job capturing all that, my gopro dies in 2 mins!

Greatest episode! Mistakes happen fast ! Glad it all worked out !

A good eye opener, thanks for sharing the lesson, stay safe guys. Edit: One of the best videos yet. I wish I had family I could do this stuff with.

Another great video! Awesome to see Jason's perspective!

Important to show the mistakes and thought process of situations like that.. can help others to slow down and think 👍 good stuff Matt!

No shame to be had. Like in whitewater rafting, sometimes ya gotta read it and run it. And that's what Y'all did. Saw the sketch then proceeded pragmatically rather than emotioaly. Live to get stuck another day! Well done boys.

My favorite video yet. Great editing. Good old family fun!

I used those dinky devices for riding years ago. Switch to the Sena 10s and never looked back. Very easy to use and never fails to connect to your buddy. They just came out with a new one that comes with better headphones and a camera. Maybe worth a look🤷🏻‍♂️

Man your brother riding around the 33 min mark had me laughing. This was great 😂

Love the triple go pro audio and video, Jason giggling like you 😂

We've all been there with the spidey senses going off and you know you made a mistake but man its cool to see the progression in the videos. Not only is the footage still great but the different perspectives and rider info is cool too. Great job.

This was a nice one 👌👌 always fun with the jerrys 😅😅💪💪 scarf moments in the beginning ofc
