Highlights
Outing Highlights
Purpose-built Axys turbo power
These are high-performance Axys turbo snowmobiles customized for backcountry climbs and playful handling — features called out include a narrower ski stance for easier side-hilling, a longer track for steeper climbs, a shorter tunnel for a more playful ride, and turbocharged power.
Flexible 1–7 day rentals
Rentals are available for single riders on a daily basis or up to seven days; pick-up windows and return times structure a typical rental day.
Helmets and oil — you bring the rest
Helmets and oil are provided with the rental; riders must bring goggles and snow gear, present a valid ID at pick-up, and return the sled with a full fuel tank.
What the day feels like
What the rental feels like
A day with an Axys turbo from Encampment is direct and gear-forward: pick up a machine prepared for backcountry climbing and side-hilling, ride self-guided into Wyoming’s wide-open snowfields or across the border into Colorado, and return the sled by the established drop-off time. The emphasis is on capable, performance-oriented riding rather than guided navigation — these are rentals built to let an experienced rider push steep terrain and playful lines.
