THE MACHINE

Quiet, 4‑stroke Polaris 1000 S4

A smooth‑running four‑stroke sled designed for composed trail miles; configured for either single or tandem riding, it prioritizes control and comfort over raw off‑trail power.

THE ROUTE

Groomed‑trail access across several mountain systems

Rentals are intended for groomed‑trail riding only, with access to the region’s maintained systems — including West Mountain, Council Mountain and No Business Mountain — for predictable, tracked runs.

THE SETUP

Park & Ride convenience from West Mountain Road

This is a Park & Ride operation: park at the office on West Mountain Road, get geared up at the facility, then ride the machines directly from the parking lot onto the trail system.
