We recommend that you wear ski gear so you don’t get cold or wet.
The price is calculated per sled, not per person: a great way to share the experience with family or friends at a fixed price.
Your vehicle must be equipped with snow tires and/or chains, as snow, cold, and fog are normal winter conditions: no late arrivals or no-shows will be accepted.
