Sahen grew up in western Wyoming, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Even as a child, he was fascinated with anything that was loud and fast—from go-karts to monster trucks. His love of snowmobiling began at the age of 5, riding a Yamaha Sno-Scoot with his Dad and Brother Nick, through some of the gnarliest terrain Wyoming has to offer. The first snowmobile movie Sahen ever watched was Slednecks 5, and he was inspired to ride snowmobiles for the rest of his life.
Through his teenage years, Sahen tried his luck at the RMSHA Hill Climb circuit with success, but he started to lose interest with all of the rules and sitting around. Soon after, Sahen realized that his true passion for snowmobiling was in the backcountry where rules don’t apply. At age 18, his dad signed him up for a Cottonwood Country Tour with Chris Burandt. It wasn’t long after that Chris realized his talent and offered him a job. Only 19 years of age, Sahen began his career as a professional rider alongside Chris, 7 days a week—all winter long. Chris has shaped and molded Sahen into an ambassador of the steep and deep, teaching him all his secrets. Those secrets, along with Sahen’s expert riding experience are now available to you through the Burandt’s Backcountry Adventure Mountain Series Adventure tours.
Sahen would like to give a special thanks to his sponsors for their support.

It’s crazy to see the level this sport is getting to. There’s part of me that misses being out there hucking my sled 30 feet into the air, but then there’s the other part that see’s Levi Lavallee on crutches, Daniel Bodine wearing a neck halo and Sam Rogers talking about how he dislocated both…
