Wear warm sweat-wicking clothing and bring waterproof gloves and a balaclava (face mask). The guides will give a detailed explanation of how to use the machines before you set out on your trip. The fleet of 4-stroke snowmobiles are environmentally friendly, allowing for reduced pollution, emissions, and noise; they allow us to further increase our record of reliability, so you are not bothered by breakdowns and issues on the trail; and they are lightweight, making them easy to operate, even for the inexperienced rider.

Warm winter clothing, cameras, waterproof gloves, balaclava, driver’s license, cash for park entrance fee ($50 per snowmobile) and optional guide gratuity.
