GIVEAWAY PART 1: THE MOMENT
We are humbled to announce our 2026 @polarissnow High Flight Heroes Giveaway Winner, James Connelly! This is a three part series to tell the story on socials. See the full edit on the tube, link in our bio.
James served our country as an Army soldier, carried the weight of loss no one should have to bear, and came home to continue serving—first in law enforcement, now as a firefighter/EMT.
Today, he’s fighting a different battle alongside his wife Janice as she takes on stage four cancer.
But more than anything—James embodies what it means to be a High Flight Hero. Selfless. Steady. The one who shows up for everyone else, no matter what. The kind of man who defines camaraderie, brotherhood, and what it truly means to be there for others.
When Janice nominated him, we knew.
What he didn’t know… was that this wasn’t just another High Flight trip in the mountains of Winter Park, Colorado. With the Jackson Hole Hillclimbs being cancelled this year, we decided to pivot and surprise our Hero winner on the mountain.
Surrounded by friends, family—and even his parents who flew in from Minnesota—we got to give something back to a man who’s given so much.
This sled isn’t just a giveaway. It’s a thank you. Thank you for representing everything we do this for James.
Special shout out to our partners at @polarissnow , @thomasracingfactory , @ridefoxpv , @iceageperformance , @arcticfxgraphics , @klim , @nxtlvlclinics , @proarmor , @bikemanperformance_snow and many more for helping make this moment possible. Huge thanks to @blake_media for making magic with the edit!!
James Connelly, we salute you 🫡🇺🇸

Really enjoying my @polarissnow builds this season 😍
This 155 khaos out of the box was already rad….but with the support of some amazing people + companies we’ve turned it into something truly special for what I love about a snowmobile.
Riding in low snow conditions throughout much of the last month has me really focusing on suspension and the combination of @ridefoxpv CB QS3 shocks, @iceageperformance front end components & the @thomasracingfactory Glyde skid has made the handling uniquely amazing!
More in depth information on “why I choose” these specific parts coming soon. Until then pop on to each of these companies pages and check em out…you’ll quickly start to realize why so many riders are using them and why my builds continue to share their DNA ✊
