THE FLEET

A sled for every line

Choose from a broad roster of machines—from comfortable trail cruisers to high-performance mountain sleds—models on offer include Ski‑Doo Expedition 600 ACE 250, 2025 Polaris Pro RMK 850 165 and the 2026 Ski‑Doo Expert 850 Turbo 154.

THE TERRAIN

Wide-open runs and deep powder

Island Park’s open terrain gives riders the choice to pin it across broad flats or thread untracked powder lines—the setup supports both high-speed runs and deep-snow exploration.

THE SETUP

Simple logistics, capable rigs

The crew’s approach is straightforward: you select a machine, get dressed in the necessary gear, and go. Certain modded machines run on AV Gas, with AV Gas available at $6/gal for those rigs.

What the day feels like

What a week on the sled feels like

Across seven days you’ll be fitted to a machine that matches your aims—everything from comfortable trail models to turbocharged mountain sleds—suited to riders of all experience levels. The flow is direct: pick your sled, pull on warm layers and waterproof gear, then press into Island Park’s winter openness, whether you’re learning the basics or seeking untouched lines.
