Do you have to bring your own sled or will rentals be available? What is the cost for rentals? 

IF you have your own sled and you would like to bring it, that is great. We do have a policy of no tracks shorter than 146ft and sleds older than a 2019 need to be passed by as ok prior to the event by Jake at Beartooth Rides and Guides. If you would prefer to rent a sled, rentals are available through RSC Powersports. The sleds are limited in number and with it being late February I would book your rental as soon as possible. Prices for sled rentals vary based on sled type and company If you visit the links above they will give you the prices of the different options. Please expect roughly $400 per day for rentals.
