Default Places to rent sleds..

Being new to the area, for winter time, where is a good place to rent sleds ?

This is our second winter in the area, and since last winter was spent working on our house, we are looking to have fun this winter.

What area are you looking at?

You can check out http://www.outbackkayak.org

We did 4-wheeling with them and it was a blast.

Looks like a great site, but there are two things that one might wonder about. First they must be very expensive as they do not list any of there tour prices, and they do not rent so one can go where they want to. Now when I rented which was years ago before owning a bunch of them, we loved to try new areas and new trails so that we would meet new and wonderful people on the trails and break areas.

Good point, I'm not sure what the rates are or if they rent them out so you can go out on your own. Would be worth calling to ask.

We had great time during both the Kayak adventure and the 4-wheeling and will most likely go back up for sledding. Here is a blog post about it: http://tendersandtrails.com/2012/10/...atv-adventure/

Default Not sure

about NH but in Maine you can expect to pay between 300 and 500 a day plus insurance per sled.
It isn't cheap so you may want to consider an inexpensive used sled to break into the sport.
It is not an inexpensive sport, with helmets, boots, outerwear it adds up quick. Even renting sleds you need to be prepared, a day on the trails can turn ugly real quick if your unprepared and get cold.
I'd venture to say we have $1500 each in riding gear and we don't have all that fancy color coordinated riding gear.
Have fun be safe....it is a great sport, I enjoy winter far more then summer.

Thanks, after doing some research, this is the route we will most likely take.

Thank you, it is a great sport. Ride safe and use common sense and you will have years of enjoyment.
We ride several thousand miles every year.
