THE MACHINE

2026 Polaris 850 Khaos 165" Slash / Polaris Boost

Ride a brand‑new Polaris Boost snowmobile — a top‑tier machine provided for unguided backcountry days out of Kremmling.

SAFETY

Comprehensive Backcountry Kit Included

Each unguided rental includes a backcountry backpack, avalanche transceiver (beacon), shovel, probe, radio and damage coverage so you head into the snow with essential tools.

THE FREEDOM

Unguided — Ride Where You Want

Take the snowmobile to your desired riding location and ride all day; professional staff will orient you to the machine and recommend places to go, then you’re on your own to explore.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The day begins at the Kremmling pickup point, where staff walk you through the Polaris Boost, run through safety basics, and outfit you with a backcountry pack and transceiver. After orientation you tow or transport the machine to your chosen riding area and spend the day exploring trails and powder at your own pace, returning the snowmobile at the end of the 8‑hour rental window.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should think twice.

1
Self‑guided RidersBest for riders comfortable operating a snowmobile without an on‑trail guide; staff provide orientation and recommendations but this is an unguided experience.
2
Drivers with Towing CapacityIf you need to transport a machine (for example from the Steamboat location), you must have a vehicle with towing capacity or rent a trailer; CSR’s Steamboat location is not a ride‑from site.
3
Riders Who Can Follow Safety ProtocolsHelmets are required (provided free) and the rental includes avalanche‑safety tools; riders should be prepared to use issued safety equipment and follow basic backcountry protocol.
4
Independent Day‑trippersThe rental model is geared to single‑day outings you run yourself — plan to manage fueling, snacks, navigation and time for an 8‑hour rental period.
