Your safety and enjoyment are always our top priorities. We design each adventure with care so every guest can relax, have fun, and make unforgettable memories.

Drivers and Riders

All sleds are double drivers, people drive in pairs, and when a family has an odd number, one or more sleds will have a passenger, and we offer opportunities to switch drivers on multiple occasions throughout the trip.

Round-trip, door-to-door shuttle available. Pricing ranges $25–$45 per person depending on pickup location (Steamboat Springs, Oak Creek, or Phippsburg).

Weight Limits per Sled

450 lbs max for 2-person sleds. 550 lbs max for 3-person sleds (no more than 3 adults). If 2 adults together exceed 450 lbs, they may drive a 3-person sled at 1.5x the adult rate (please call to book).

Guided Option

Available for those who prefer to relax or have limitations. Up to 2 adults in a guided sled, or very small children riding with an adult.
