Lodges and sled rentals in the Snowies

[deepnsteep]

Been a few years since I've ridden and have since sold my sled. Now I'm up against renting and finding a good lodge to ride the Snowies. So far I've found the Saratoga Lodge and the Albany that rent. Any others in the area?? Also what are the good places to stay and stay away from!
Thanks!

How many people are in your group? Does brand matter for rental?

Deepandsteep,
If you stay on the Saratoga side of the mountain the only Rentals are at the Saratoga Spa, they keep their sleds at Ryan Park and at least last year they were all Ski Doos of indeterminate age. All decent machines but not nearly as capable as most of today's machines. As far as lodging on that side Saratoga Resort and Spa is very nice but you have to drive 20 miles to their sleds. Ten Mile (cabins)and Rendezvous Lodge are at the base of the hill and next to the Spa's sled rental station.
Albany Lodge is on the other side of the mountain and has lodging and brand new M 8000's but they seem to be hard to get into until late in the season and the great off trail most years is a 20 mile trail ride away. I have never stayed in Centennial or rented from Snowy Range Tours but I do have some friends that have and they are a very good outfit with nice machines also, just make sure you ate your wheaties if your going to wrestle a 4 smoke.

My understanding is they closed up shop. This is second hand info from a former employee. If they are open they will have new sleds since all of theirs were for sale a couple of months ago.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I ended up doing a lot of checking around and pretty much came up with the same info. We ended up changing our trip up to Togwotee instead...partially for the cost of lodging and the few rentals we need. Throw Brush Creek in there also for lodging/rentals if you feel the need to throw down $4k!
