ASTAR provides you extra gear, safety equipment, snowmobile, gas and oil. Your guide leads the group expecting that you follow the guides safety instructions and direction. Often we groom the trail in front of the tour so you have an easy trail to follow.
Often our clients have good winter ski/riding gear that fits them, please bring what you have however provide sizing while booking too. ASTAR will supplement you with extra riding gear, almost everyone wears our boots while many our bibs and jackets sometimes over everything for colder trips. The gear system allows mixing and matching. ASTAR provides helmets, goggles and balaclavas (face mask), if you have googles or face mask please bring them.
Glasses wearers, they can be extremely difficult to keep frost free. Consider wearing contacts, bringing a cloth or goggles that work with your glasses.
Your comfort and safety is our concern, please plan ahead for your Alaskan adventure.
