Wyoming’s rugged winter landscape invites a particular breed of adventurer to carve fresh trails through untouched powder and climb steep snow-covered peaks. At the heart of this experience is Altitude Sled Works, based in Encampment, Wyoming, offering the Gen 5 Skidoo Summit Freeride 850 154"—a snowmobile built for serious backcountry riders seeking performance and precision in some of the West’s most challenging terrain.
Encampment sits just east of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests, where towering pines and wide-open valleys define this remote slice of the Rockies. The snow here is deep, dry, and suffused with the kind of cold mountain air that sharpens every sound and sight. This is not just sledding; it’s a tactical ride demanding skill and respect for the mountain environment.
The Gen 5 Skidoo Summit Freeride is notable for its wide ski stance, which maximizes stability on variable snow, and its elongated 154" track, enabling aggressive ascents on steep grades. Riders will appreciate its agility and playful handling, courtesy of a shorter tunnel design. These features allow you to push into pristine terrain where powder blankets the aspens and spruce, and where elk and mule deer stir beneath winter’s hush.
Altitude Sled Works stands out by pairing expert equipment with knowledge of these Wyoming mountain corridors. Their machines are fine-tuned to backcountry demands: tough, reliable, and nimble. Renting here means gaining access to areas that challenge the average snowmobiler while respecting the natural landscape.
For winter enthusiasts seeking to expand beyond groomed trails, this is a gateway to some of the most rewarding rides in the Rockies.
