Shane Barber
IRON DOG (The World's Longest Toughest Snowmobile Race)
Hometown: Willow, Alaska
Career Start: 2000
I am a born and raised Alaskan. II live in mountains of Willow Alaska with my wife Tammy. I started working at a dealership after school in 7th grade and went snowmobiling that winter for the first time, it was “Love at first Ride”. Snowmobiling gave me a sense of independence and fed my risk and reward mentality. It is a huge part of my family winter activities and helps us stay bonded. I have raced “Iron Dog” 17 times since my first year in 2000.
