renting sleds

[timebandit]

looking to come to bc and hit some snow. I hope you don't mind a crosspost. I posted in introduce yourself also. experienced riders for ontario I would say. not trails at all, all ditchbanging and mostly riding hard. would like to fly in rent and ride for a few days and fly home. any help or recomendations would be appreciated. thanks.

Pat.

fly to calgary drive 3.5 hours to golden they have it all

just google rentals in golden stay at the rim or sprotsman lodge for simp[le and good accomadations,,,,

or fly to calgary drive 4.5 hours to Revy they also have it all and then some,, maybe a bit busier and more nightlife..... could stay at glacier house resort and, rent and ride from your doorstep...


probably 2 best options

or you could fly to Calgary and drive 3 hours to Fernie. Rentals, great groomed trails with lots of tree riding, and for after hours, lots of cool pubs with Ski bunnies!​

revi is revelstoke mtn. and golden is golden mtn? any names of rental spots?

revelstoke is a town with lots of mountains so to speak and a ski hill

Golden is a town with mountains as well and a ski hill

Fernie is a town with mountains and a ski hill

In revelstoke you can stay at Glacier house resort rent from them and stay with them and drive the snowmobile from your doorstep

otherwise most locations will require you stay in town and drive the truck with sleds 10-30 minutes then park un load and sled

so revy is easy as you wont have a truck and most rentals dont have hitches

just google search and many options will come up exmaple Revelstoke sled rentals,, make a short list and we can give you our thoughts,,

all 3 are great places, and would be my choice

thats an idea too,, does Toronto have lots of direct flights?? otherwise stop in calgary anyways so either way not easy

and a trip like this be approx

flight $650
sled 3 days $1000
fuel oil $200
truck $300
fuel $300
accom $400
food $400
passes $60

thats over 3K to come sleding wow well I guess a bit less if split truck/fuel lol,, maybe fly to colorado and visit burandt,,, thast what I would do instead be less money and you get a guide,, or fly to vancouver and hook up with Chris Brown in Whistler or Pemby maybe that be better


ya look into whistler for sure lol,, I never get to go too far to drive,,,,,
