Utah Rental and Guide Svc Needed

[GaGade]

Hi. I'm a flatlander (upstate NY/Tugg Hill) headed out to Utah the week of 11 Jan for work and would like to get a couple of days riding in on the tail end of the trip. Heading to Dugway Proving Ground (SW of SLC) but would be willing to drive several hours for the opportunity to ride some off trail powder. Specifically looking for sled rental and guide service for a day or two that focuses on off trail (I get plenty of groomed trail in my neck of the woods). I'm also solo which is why I"m in need of a guide not that I would anyway. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks and love this site!

If you want on-trail rental, Daniels Summit Lodge is about 2 hours East of Dugway.

Lots of riding area right from the lodge.

I don't know of any guides but I am sure there is a person or two on here that will let you tag along......

Wait, isn't Ron a Licensed guide?

Your not going to find any of the rental/guide companies that will take you off trail much at all, your best bet is to find a rental and get some of us locals to show you around.

X2^^^ Also check with NewMtsldr( Spencer) for guide.

Ron is also licensed on sled rescues!!

What ever you do don't let 1Mex follow you! Unless you have and want to use your rental insurance!

What are you doing at Dugway?

Hey now...that cut was a little deep...

Thanks everyone for the advice, this is great especially considering I just got back from riding hard, boney, bumpy trails for 60+ miles. I may have to extend my stay a couple of days to shake off the hammering I just lived through.

NewMTNsldr, I'm at Dugway for a meeting in preperation for an event we have scheduled in Apr. We're working on a airborne network that will provide the troops on the ground real time intelligence information they need to assist them in making decisions. Good stuff and for an excellent cause.

Back to sledding...I look forward to the opportunity you folks get to enjoy on regular basis. I'm incredibly envious. Again, thanks for the replies...

HA HA! I just know how he likes to take the first crack at out of towners!! LOL!
But seriousely, call Adam, he gots your rental and if its during the week, he may take you out to some good chit up there.

I distinctly remember the Florida guys saying what a great time they were having as we were lowering those sleds! There is no one I would have rather had in that situation than those two!

For sure!! Great guys That's why you got my vote! You give them the WHOLE experience!!
So when you ridding again?

 

[NewMTNsldr]

Tomorrow, Danniels call me if you want to go

Just called Adam plus Alpine Power sports. Both options seem very doable. Alpine provides the sled (10' XP 800 Summit) and trailer but I'd still need a guide and a tow vehicle. Adam has the sleds and is looking into guide options.

Anyone interested in 1. being a guide on Friday and Saturday, or 2. draggin a newb with them? I realize some of you need $$ for repairs so I can pay for guiding or rent a sled for you....

Thanks for the help everyone. Hope to meet you at some point.

Hope you can find something that works out. Couple questions
What age are you
Where would you rate your riding abilities
Ever sledded backcountry before?

 

[PJ-Hunter]

Why? You looking for someone to get stuck with?

 

[gibsonman]

Some call it stuck, some call it a break
My peeps are either going to the snowcross or waiting on polaris parts

If none of the other options work for you, try thousand peaks ranch. I am not sure if they are still in business but they offer sleds rental and guide service.
