In March of 2023, we embarked on a winter adventure to Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, reuniting with our childhood friend Lew for an epic backcountry snowmobile expedition. Years of dreaming and talking about this trip finally materialized as we set out on an ambitious quest: a 160-kilometer sled ride to see the Western Brook Pond Gorge from its summit.
As a snowstorm starts creeping into the forecast and surprise obstacles pop up, we luck out with a rare bluebird day to chase after our big goal. But, there’s a twist-the snow conditions are worse than expected, throwing us unforeseen challenges. Our gear gets pushed to the max, and our determination faces the ultimate test.

Happy New Year everyone, thanks for all the support this year. Looking forward to making more videos like this (and bringing back vlogs) in 2024!
Massive thanks to our friend Lewis Martin who took care of all the snowmobile logistics, guided us through the wilderness, and put up with a camera in his face for a week straight 😂
We will be back with uploads about mid January after a short break! 🙏🏼🖤
At 22:08 when Chris is looking for the inReach we need to get a shot of the fox diving into the snow head first while it's hunt - perfect b-roll! LOL
Nice blue charms you were tieing on the vice do you guy’s fish for Atlantic salmon ?
@@crfjohn79I was tying on the vice yes, I fish for atlantics, that was one you saw jumping in the video.
Very nice if you would like to come up to New Brunswick and take a look around I’d love to be your guide all accommodations and guiding services will be supplied at no cost !! Just some beautiful country and some great fishing hope to here back from yahs
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, as a fellow former BMX kid, please make a documentary covering the old Newfoundland BMX scene. Like get the gang back together, show us your clips, get on a bike, just really give us something around Chris's BMX days!
For lack of a better word better term to see Chris not be professional and just be out there having a blast it’s truly euphoric to watch this was awesome guys 🙌🏽❤️
Who needs TV when there’s always a new B&C episode? Another magical video. 🎉🎉
Wtff youtube. You gotta recommend these videos to more people. This high quality and this less views,it hurts
Absolutely love the way you guys listen to your gut and respect conditions it’s something we can definitely relate to travelling around Australia.
I can't wait but I will wait. :)
As a Norwegian who also hates winter I love how you guys talk openly about it, and try to instead embrace it. Such a. Good message, and just a stunning visual presentation. Keep creating these beautiful films! Happy new year! 🎉
Thanks! Gotta enjoy the journey through the winter instead of wishing for better weather, so much fun to be had! Happy new year!
I appreciate the shots of the car driving by. There was one going up a hill at night and another when you're pulling into the gas station. Are you guys like, "Let me get out in this cold real quick to get this shot. Turn around and drive back through again."?
As a kayaking/hiking guide I just want to say, Amazingly good Risk Assessment/Management. Really good. The video was great too!
So good guys! Incredible scenery, what a mighty country we have. Really loved the bit about the journey and being present.
Becki and Chris, I loved watching your Bluebird video. My series just finished on my channel from my wife and I's 10 day trip from the US to Newfoundland on our Adventure Bike. I found Newfoundland to be so amazing and thank you to your previous videos about Newfoundland. We have already bought our ferry trip tickets for next year and we plan to stay even longer. Be safe in all your adventures and thank you for the videos!!
Another brilliant video! Love the way you find a ‘thread’ and develop a story throughout! Also, truly appreciate your authenticity and sharing your anxiety and how you push through. Much respect.❤
Thank you, really appreciate it! 🙏🏼
Oh my gosh! I finally got time to sit down and watch this and OMG! I LOVE it! Becki is an amazing storyteller, videographer, editor, etc. I want to do all of these things with you and wish I was in your videos!
This was EPIC! As a snowmobiler myself I 100% know Lewis' love for winter. Next up you guys HAVE to come winter camping with us!!
Thanks friend!! YES! Would love that!
Awesome! Reliving my childhood years back home through this video as we sup our morning tea here in the green GTA Arrg! No snowmobiling for us here in Ontario. I guess we lived an Epic life back home minus the technology and high performance sleds. :) Rugged Edge Folks are great. ❤ After school and weekends we spent skidooing the backcountry. Thanks for sharing this fantastic adventure with us. ❤
I caught myself with a goofy grin frozen on my face watching you folks enjoy winter like that. I miss Canada!
Stunningly gorgeous video!! The skill for shooting and editing beyond anything else out there. It was fun, as well.
Hello Becki and Chris, This documentary has inspired me to go out and enjoy winter more and try things like this. Although it was not a video series like the other ones, it was pretty nice and fun. I hope to see the next series or documentary soon, I know you guys must be working on something as always. Love your work, it's amazing and definitely inspiring. ✨✨
Well that was awesome to watch guys!! Nice production all around.
I can’t wait for us to go out on the sleds again here in the Cape Breton NS highlands. Which has similar conditions to western NFLD. We made a video a couple winters ago. - nothing like yours. It ain’t easy to do. I know the challenges of shooting - cold - batteries.. trying to use camera buttons with gloves on.
You guys nailed it! ❤❤
Incredible story and adventure! Thank you for sharing this with us!
31:20 I laughed out loud! Classic Canadian moment. It could be 40º below zero, but you always think it's "warmer out" for the first 45 seconds you're back outside. I loved that SO MUCH!
As a Labrador kid, skidooing is easily one of the things I miss most about living in St. John’s!
Hearing Chris describe grinding in a technical way is iconic 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
im moving to Minnesota from Texas and was looking for what winter sport to get into and congrats ive done nothing but look for snowmobiles and watch videos since this one. amazing film guys. wow
Amazing content. How do you not have a million subs by now. Looking forward to the DVD extras and maybe a new podcast episode???
Thank you!! Definitely gonna do a podcast episode for sure!
what a great way to finish the year watching you. LOVE IT
Finally able to see the video. It was so awesome. After moving away from the Prairies I do miss the usual fun people have in the snow at winter. Chris was having so much fun and it was so good to hear his boyish laugh. Heartwarming for sure!
ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR !!! THANK YOU ❤❤❤
Great video, looks like a fantastic snowmobile adventure, the snow and scenery is beautiful, you have love Newfoundland such a beautiful part of Canada 🍁👍👍
INCREDIBLE!
Great, thanks
This was such a joy to watch! Everything was shot so beautifully and I especially loved the ending credits photos! I’ve been feeling a little down recently and this has inspired me to get back out there and do things that make me happy again! You guys make incredible films!
Thanks Ryan!! So glad it’s given you a boost to get out there!
I LOVED THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lewis is right, gotta get out side and make the most of it!
So sick to see some earlier footage and gain more insight to early life!!
beautiful!
Brilliant video….thank you.
In St. John's today filming for a short Doc on dying and death. I am so glad this came into my feed! It has been a while since I have connected with your channel and it is fitting! I can't wait to watch this on the plane home to Halifax this evening. PeteInHalifax. Congratulations by the way!
Thanks again Becki & Chris! All the best! Bonne annee!
Damn, the road fools segment got me so hyped! I grew up on those dvd’s!
Wykyk 😎
Loved it, Becki and Chris! Chris' laughing sliding down into the sinkhole was cracking me up!
Fastest 50 minutes ever! This Florida grandmother loves y'all and your many adventures. What a great time💕💕
Thank youuuu ❤️
😍😍😍 every moment i felt like I was there too 😍 what a great experience, beautifully!! Shot and edited
YES LEW YES
Yay!!! New Year, New Content, and Voiceover Becki is back!! - love it. Happy New Year to you guys!
Loving the long form videos/series Becki! Thanks for putting in the work for our pleasure.
Cheers and Happy New Year!
Thanks dude!! Been having so much fun with the channel lately! Happy new year!!
With the proper clothing winter is so beautiful and snowmobiling can be fun even if you are not a daredevil. I would have so gone down that waterfall but then I might have needed a chopper to get me out. Have a Happy, Healthy and Safe 2024.
Unbelievable that you made another big project so soon after the last heading west helicopter trip! You spoil your viewers! ... I need to get editing.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
agree! Crazy great work @beckiandchris ! I couldn't believe after the huge heading west project to see a docu film ending the year! Love the films guys!
This has been such a wonderful film! I love snow but I was never the type that did anything beyond building snowmen, having snow fights and going ice-skating once in a while. So seeing you all enjoy it so much made me even more excited for the snow to come.
It's amazing that the production quality feels like a high-end TV documentary but it has the familiarity of old friends on a week long trip 😊 Can't wait for what 2024 will bring!
This was amazing! Well done! Can't wait for 2024 content!
Enjoyed watching this in a hoodie from Arizona.
Great Video, please do more winters videos like this.
The audacity of you to not dedicate a whole story beat to that bird landing in your hand?? (Another amazing adventure film, guys. Love it every time!!)
Excellent, really enjoyed that.
Those ending photos of you guys with your names were stellar! I had to rewatch it, the coloring, the different photos you combined, just wow!
This was amazing and looked outstanding! 😮
Amazing footage and fun adventrure, thanks for sharing. I watced this start to finish over several days. Can't wait to see what you get up to later this year!
Whoa this was epic! And Narnia is so beautiful!✌️
One of your best videos ever - this was incredible!
Wow, thank you!
Way to go, Becki & Chris, what a fun movie. Every one of your videos seems to top the one before. Love the editing, too. Chris' laugh is infectious and Lewis did his part in keeping you safe. And it looks like Becki could relax and enjoy the scenery more than during your
Heading West adventure. I'm looking forward to your next trip - along with the normal content, natch.
Such a different trip from heli yet just as bloody epic
Well done guys
Man you too are such a cool inspiration, both on seizing the day and creatively. Love your documentary style of telling an adventure storey so much!
Looks like a grand adventure...Becki didn't drive even once!?!? Damn Chris that face plant dude, yeesh.
Next winters video "Return to the Gorge!"
This. Was. Awesome! Becki and Chris never disappoint!! Happy New Year!
Thank you!!! Happy new year!
Awesome video
Epic! so well done guys and always love seeing the adventures you guys are on. Love how you got to document this for us to follow along!!! Amazing stuff! Happy new year!
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy new year!
This was an amazing piece, guys. Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you! We had a lot of fun making this one
Absolutely loved this video and you guys did an awesome job creating it and such a cool adventure. Certainly make we want to try a new adventure that I have never done before. Can’t wait to see what is next for the journey.
Excited!! But I am unable to attend the premier. Hope it rocks them socks - I'll watch it later :D
I love Becki and Chris, not a single bad content in this channel!
Awesome video! At least one of us enjoyed winter haha
I’m shocked as to how good you guys are getting at these films. This is better than most adventure shows on streaming platforms. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
😭 thanks Eric! They are so fun to make
Ah the old ‘send a message to the InReach to figure out where you lost it’ trick. Been there, done that! 😂
awesome! thank you for putting this together, and showing that winter can be fun :)
Thanks for the support!
What an awesome video you guys nailed this one........LMAO👍🏻
Super cool video. I’m a snowmobiler at heart and this popped up in my feed. We are just south of Buffalo and no snow is a big bummer. We always travel north but nothing up there yet. Again great video and was nice to watch as an avid snowmobiler. Thanks!!
Dave
Absolutely incredibly made film - every aspect of this is amazing. It’s really been great to see your guys journey as filmmakers.
And I’ve gotta say, as an Australian, I’m very jealous of your winters over there 😂
This was AWESOME to watch. Glad you two are enjoying the winter! :)
It's so like, refreshing, to see Chris bro-ing out.
Who knew Chris was such a badass? Lol
Holy Canoli Peckham, so many details in this one, right down to the credits...well done.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I loved every second of this! I am a winter lover but this made me desperate for some winter adventures this year! Also we need more details on Becki’s Snow White moment with the bird😂
So lucky to call Western NL home, great job guys!
It’s so frigging beautiful out there! Thanks friend!
Amazing video. I'm glad I came across this by accident. Was also a suprise to see our business in the video. Great job!
What a coincidence! Who are and what’s your business??
I have enjoyed this video soooo much! I'm from Georgia, USA and we only WISH we had snow so we can do fun stuff like this! Chris' laugh is so contagious and it's awesome watching ya'll have so much fun. Happy New Year!
I’ve been finding myself checking the forecast waiting for snow in Buffalo to get back out there! You always know he’s having a good time when he’s laughing like that 😍
You just up and drop a full length documentary on us on a random Friday!!! Also we need maybe a mid week video just on Chris and his bmx videos. As a former skateboarder those were some big ass rails and Chris was really good
Cool video
This was incredible. Thanks for sharing this!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support ❤
What an adventure I don't know if I'd like the cold since I'm from Africa and we don't have that kind of cold here but that looked like a lot of fun.
This was excellent. It looked like a network production! Pace was awesome, just a beautiful edit. And adding a guest that you can center the episode around is a great format. Snowmobiling would be fun, but going off into the wilderness in the middle of winter wouldn’t be on my list. Ha! Loved the scenery but kept thinking about a bear coming at you from the whiteout. Hopefully they were all hibernating.
Well done. Happy New Year! ✌🏼
Love your film making style! I am a sledder in Manitoba. Nice to see NFLD!!
Loved it! Hope you're back to see the gorge from up top. I spend about 20 days each winter back country skiing in Gros Morne. So beautiful. And you'll have to go down into the Lomond (pronounced low- mund) sinkhole.
Kinda random but I have a bright red Canada goose but seeing Chris in the black one makes me I picked that one
TIL it's skid-oo rather than ski-doo. As a hater of winter, I probably never would've learned if not for this awesome video. Looks like you all had an absolute blast!
A time was had for sure!
Superb fun episode. I too love the snow and winter. Sadly here in the UK, and with global warming, this is a thing of the past. And sadly my knees can't take the mountains any more.😭
cannot double like? amazing film! I can't imagine the amount of hours it may take to edit it, but it's totally worth it. are you going to post some DVD extras for this one?
70 minutes to go, time to get some pizza 🍕 while waiting for this, I can't wait 👀
Maybe I’ve missed it before, but I do not recall ever a mention of Chris being a shredder in a previous time. Also do not recall him ever dropping so many F bombs in a vid……love it!
Happy New Year! watching 2024 though lol! this is so cool shoutout old classmate. hahaha i want this kind of documentary for my vlog 100.
Happy new year to you both. Just discovered your channel. Snowmobiling is definately one of my passions. Too bad you didn't make it too the gorge. Better luck next time. Loved this video .
