Scott griffith
President

Scott Griffith is Colorado native, born and raised in the mountains of our beautiful state. He’s extremely fortunate to have been raised on power sports of all kinds. He started riding snowmobiles at the age of 3, then his first dirt bike at the age of 5. He grew up racing dirt bikes but after a horrific accident where he broke multiple ribs, dislocated both shoulders and cracked his C1 vertebrae, stopped competing and started focusing on backcountry exploration. He has spent countless miles exploring all over Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and other surrounding areas and calls the backcountry home. 

Scott found his professional passion in firefighting and has been a firefighter since 2003. His career has sent him all over the United States and even around the world. He works for two local fire departments, one as a Firefighter Paramedic and the other as an EMS lieutenant. He is a National and State certified Paramedic with all advanced and basic life support certifications, not to mention many firefighter certifications ranging from structural to Wildland to hazmat specialist. He is a certified CPR instructor. When he is not at the firehouse or exploring the backcountry, he is at home with his Wife and cat and is usually working on his small business, FireGradeGoods where he does custom Leather goods for firefighters, creating stickers and custom apparel. 

His passion for exploration has launched him into a world of backcountry education and safety and strives to keep our lands open and free. His oath is to always protect our sports and support our members.

Justin Savoie
Vice President

As a Colorado native with a deep-rooted passion for the great outdoors, Justin has always found solace and joy in the beauty of nature. Whether it’s hiking through rugged trails, carving slopes on skis or a snowboard, or cruising the deep powder on a snowmobile, the thrill of adventure is a family affair. He cherishes sharing these experiences with his young boys and beautiful wife, fostering in them, a love and respect for nature.  Justin first developed interest in snowmobiling when he was in high school, through a family friend and neighbor who owned sleds.  Not long after, he was working summer jobs to purchase his first sleds of his own.  As they say, “the rest was history”. 

In addition to his outdoor pursuits, Justin brings the same dedication and passion to the realm of real estate. As a second-generation REALTOR® with over 13 years of experience, he finds immense fulfillment in helping his clients navigate the journey of finding their perfect home. Whether it’s a cozy starter house, a spacious family home, or the ultimate dream home, he is committed to making his clients’ real estate dreams a reality.

Justin is known for his unwavering dedication, authenticity, and tireless work ethic. Over the years, he has built a reputation for educating his clients, providing valuable resources beyond the transaction, and advocating for their best interests. Through these organic and naturally deep relationships, his clients become more than business partners; they become an extension of his family. He is dedicated to exceeding expectations, ensuring they feel supported, respected, and excited throughout every step of the home buying or selling process.

Certainly not least, Justin holds commitment to community service very close to his heart and it is reflected in his roles as previous Vice President for a local nonprofit in Douglas County and as Vice Presidency and co-founder of The Colorado Freerdiers. Additionally, he volunteers as a firefighter, embodying the values of service and community that he holds dear. Join us in our snowmobiling adventures and become part of our extended family!




Kenny Wedow
Secretary

Kenny started out growing up in Michigan riding snowmobiles in his early years, then at the young age of 14 years old Kenny ended up in Florida. Where he finished high school and went on to college to start his career as an automotive technician. After finishing college and working in the automotive space for many years, Kenny ended up moving out to Colorado with a buddy of his back in 2007, settling in Thornton.

Kenny loved the idea of moving to where there was snow once again to fulfill his passion for seasons and snowmobiling. After a few years Kenny ended up getting a used 2001 Arctic cat 500 ATV that was in need of some repairs and once it was fixed Kenny would go out all the time
to places like Grand lake and Red Feather Lakes riding and camping, Over the years Kenny grew to eventually adding a second ATV and a old pop up camper.


Fast forward to around 2016, Kenny found a deal on four snowmobiles that were involved in the floods that Colorado had around 2015. Kenny finally got another snowmobile again even though it was a little water logged. After many many hours Kenny got the first one running a 1998 600 Powder special Arctic cat.
Over the years Kenny had added more sleds and sold some sleds. The collection of owned sleds over the years included a 2003 Mountain cat 900, A 2004 King Cat 900, a 2015 M8000, a 2017 M9000 king cat, currently Kenny has the 2015 M8000 still and a 2023 Skidoo Summit
Turbo sled. Also Kenny has upgraded his ATV’s to a Honda Talon SxS for summer activities. Kenny has grown over the years playing in the mountains year around and also has grown a group of automotive repair shops that he now owns. He is always looking for new areas to ride year round and looks forward to being one of the founding members of Colorado Freeriders.
