About Danika: I have been riding snowmobiles since I was 5 years old. I rode and showed horses for 9 years. I like fishing, hunting, four-wheeling, going to camps and anything to do with the outdoors.  Snowmobiling has always been my biggest passion.

I went to high school at Hampden Academy and graduated in 2010.  I went to college at UMPI (University of Maine at Presque Isle) for four and a half years.  I just finished my degree in December and am now pursuing a career here in Belfast at Athena Health.  I graduated college with my bachelor's in Business Administration with a minor in project management and a concentration in Leadership and Management.

Family is everything to me and always has been.  If it weren't for the close-knit family that I have I wouldn't be where I am today.

About Tylor: I’ve been riding sleds and bikes since I was 3 years old. Would ride every weekend down around our family cabin at Ashuanipi River. I am now a Journeyman mechanic at IOC and still love to ride anything with a motor as often as I can! This is going to be my first cross country race and there are no words to describe how excited I am!!! While I am out racing, my beautiful girlfriend Robyn Ayles and my stepson Jackson will be home cheering me on and waiting for updates!

About Andrew: I started riding my family's Elan when I was 4. When I was 9 we moved and my father and I started riding in the Lewis Hills on Newfoundland's West coast every Saturday. In 2004, we moved to Labrador City and I continued riding every weekend with my father. I've made this place home; I am currently working as a Millwright at a local mine. We regularly participated in local drag races and later I got into more extreme snowmobiling. I have had some screen time in Braaap 6,7 and 8. In 2007, Rob Gardner came to town and busted a rear shock two days before Cain's Quest started. I hooked him up and snowmobiling hasn't been the same since. We have been all over Labrador, Quebec and Alaska, broken every part on a snowmobile, rebuilt gear boxes in tents and turned into one big happy almost family. My wife Meaghan is behind us 24/7, it makes doing what we do a lot easier knowing I can just call her at 3 in the morning and she will make the calls to save us. My son Gracen is 2 and loves working on, and riding Broom-Brooms.
