I have never ridden a snowmobile. Is it difficult?

Snowmobiles are easy to operate. There are no gears to shift or clutch to work.

They are much like a car with an automatic transmission, just give them gas and they go, hit the brake and they stop. The biggest difference is your using your hands to control the machine's speed rather than your feet.

As a great many of our customers are inexperienced riders, our guides are trained and experienced at giving an in-depth orientation to make sure you understand how to safely operate the snowmobile and will be happy to offer additional assistance along the trail should the need arise.

What do I wear?

Normally if you have "ski" clothing or winter wear that is usually adequate. After ski boots, moon boots or sorrels are fine. However, the Red River Sled Shed does provide one-piece snowmobile suits as well as boots and helmets at no additional charge, if needed. Be sure to bring your own mittens or gloves, eye protection (sunglasses or goggles) and a neckwarmer, if desired. Helmets are required, and are furnished at no charge or you may bring your own.

What do you do on a tour?

WE HAVE FUN ! All of the Red River Sled Shed tours take you to the most scenic spots you can get to in the time allowed. All tours have a scenic trail ride in the Carson National Forest as well as "play time" in a meadow.

How many people can fit on one machine?

Our machines are designed to handle one or two people comfortably. They have a king/queen seat with a backrest.

What kind of machines do you have?

The Red River Sled Shed has all late model Ski-Doo and Polaris snowmobiles. All our machines feature the latest in independent front suspension and long travel rear suspension, designed to offer you the most comfortable, best handling snowmobiles available.

Our snowmobiles also feature heated hand and thumb warmers, king/queen seats and backrests for those who chose to ride double.

The Red River Sled Shed also stresses regular maintenance by factory certified personal to insure that all our machines work like new all winter long. We offer the most comfortable, nicest riding, best handling, and most dependable machines in town!

Do I need reservations?

We will certainly try to accommodate you without reservations, provided we have space available. However due to the Red River Sled Shed's reputation for quality service at competitive prices, we tend to fill up fast, especially during peak holiday periods. To insure you get the length of tour you want at the time you want, reservations are recommended. Usually it's best to reserve a week or so in advance.
