THE RIDE

Long‑Track Machines Built for Deep Snow

These rentals are specified for deep‑snow conditions and come as long‑track, single‑seat machines—designed so you can get off the property and onto the trail without towing a sled.

THE COMFORTS

Heated Grips and Practical Storage

Every snowmobile is fitted with heated grips and a tunnel bag for storage, giving riders basic comfort and a place for layers or essentials while they’re out on a day rental.

THE BACKCOUNTRY KIT

Optional Avalanche‑Safety Package Available

For an additional fee you can add a backcountry pack that includes a BCA avalanche airbag, BCA radio, probe, and BCA beacon—an option for riders who want an extra layer of safety off established corridors.
