Places to rent sleds..

about NH but in Maine you can expect to pay between 300 and 500 a day plus insurance per sled.
It isn't cheap so you may want to consider an inexpensive used sled to break into the sport.
It is not an inexpensive sport, with helmets, boots, outerwear it adds up quick. Even renting sleds you need to be prepared, a day on the trails can turn ugly real quick if your unprepared and get cold.
I'd venture to say we have $1500 each in riding gear and we don't have all that fancy color coordinated riding gear.
Have fun be safe....it is a great sport, I enjoy winter far more then summer.

Thanks, after doing some research, this is the route we will most likely take.

Thank you, it is a great sport. Ride safe and use common sense and you will have years of enjoyment.
We ride several thousand miles every year.
