    Renting a snowmobile from these guys was AWESOME!! They were so kind and helped us in a pinch. My two girlfriends and I planned an Idaho hot springs road trip and when the other rental place called me two days before our rental to canceled I was so nervous we wouldn't get to have this experience. But CM Backcountry saved the day and got us two practically brand new snowmobiles for our trip to Burgdorf Hot Springs. I'm so glad I ended up working with this company instead of their competitor. They provided all the snow equipment: jackets, pants, shoes, gloves, helmet. Non of us have ever driven a snowmobile before too and they showed us and sent us on our way with a breeze! I highly recommending working with this great company!! They will take really great care of you and their equipment was in excellent condition, felt clean and was so convenient. The snowmobile also was basically brand new and even had heated handle warmers!

    There is quite a bit of opportunity for this whole set up to be ran much better and more efficiently. You start out at their office just as you enter town. This seemed a little pointless to sign a piece of paper and swipe our credit card when it was already on file, (unless you need equipment) your then instructed to drive back across town, turn just after shore lodge and drive down 8 miles to the parking lot where the snow mobiles are. Here you sign a couple more pieces of paper before taking off. Thanks to Cody not showing up at our rental time, they didn't have any trail to maps to give us. And while we were told the trails are pretty straight forward- it isn't as straightforward when your one of the first snow mobiles down the trail and signs are snowed over making them very easy to miss. Naturally every crossroad was just a guess on our part. As a result, we missed some stops that we would have otherwise liked to stop at. Thankfully for us, the fun run was taking place on the same day so we came across a few tent stations on our way up the trail- they were pretty surprised we weren't provided a map but were kind enough to help direct us. Secondarily, the only equipment we borrowed was a helmet, one would logically think you could turn in the equipment when you return the sled. Turns out that's not the case, they made use drive back across town just to return one helmet. I suppose customer service is a bit of an after thought here. They also give you a number to call if you get stuck or lost, only thing is there is no cell reception up in the hills, at all. They would be better off providing a radio you could use in an emergency like other rental company's we have used do. Although the rental prices and equipment are good we likely won't rent from this company again just due to the hassle and lack of preparation. We would have undoubtably had a much better experience if we were provided with the bare minimum of a map and didn't have the hassle of trekking across town twice.

    Great experience and easy to rent! Checked into office to pick up gear at 8am (Bri was awesome!) then drove 30 min out to ride at 9am till about 1pm.

    Sweet gear

    Came to McCall specifically to come snow mobiling with the fam and we had an ABSOLUTE blast out there! The owners were awesome and helped us get full geared in cool looking snow jackets and pants (that made for epic pictures later in the day) and then they were very helpful in instructing us on how to drive the sleds. Had a beautiful drive up to Burgdorf hot springs and in the end had an incredible day all that's to CM Backcountry Rentals

    This was my first time visiting McCall, and I am so glad my friends and I discovered this place! We rented snowmobiles and drove up to Bergdorf Hot Springs and it was definitely the highlight of the trip! CM offers all the gear you could possibly need, and Karen, who helped us, made sure we had the best fitting gear. It was an awesome experience, and the sleds were so much fun! Well worth the money we paid.

    Very easy to work with, helpful, reasonable prices. Karen is sweetheart. Will definitely be back.

    The upgrades are awesome! Easy ticket access and little wait time in lift lines. The conditions…read morewere perfect for springtime, groomed and ready to rock and roll. Stopped into a yurt for some liquid courage and off I go- lots to select from beers, drinks, and food- chicken and waffles at a yurt? Yes please. 65 dollar lift tickets for a day at Brundgae is a steal, they had free demos, and beer vendors galore. Live music on the mountain makes my heart warm.

    If you are a family looking for a fun adventure, run. What should have been a super fun day turned…read moreinto a terrible day when the snowmobile tipped and pinned my 9 year old daugher's leg under the snowmobile. She was screaming and I was desperately trying to lift this 400 pound machine off of my daughter while screaming for help. Thank god my 6 foot 4 brother in law ran and tip it up so we could pull her out. Her leg was bruised but thank god not broken. The guid's response? "Oh, that happens all the time. They're built to tip over." WHAT?? Stunned at her cavalier attitude I'm like, "so this is a normal experience on your trips? Do you think you should do anything differently so this doesn't happen?" She's like "I feel like you're attacking me - we did everything right." No, Perry, you didn't. The safety prep was so inadequate - you never told my daughter to keep her legs on the metal footrests (I didn't know to tell her!) nor did you explain how often they tip and what to do. And this is what haunts me - after we'd been riding 30 mins I HAPPENED TO ASK if I should pin the kill switch to my jumper. Court, the male guide (who was super kind) said "oh yeah! That's important so if you fall off the vehicle stops." Friends, had I not had that on, my daughter might not have her leg. What a different experience that would have been if they had adequate safety training. "Hey these tip a lot - so here is how to safely fall so you don't get pinned. Oh if someone tips other people need to rush and help them tip back up. And here's the kill switch you must attach to your person so the vehicle stops when you fall. And kids, keep your feet on the metal footrests because if you dangle your legs bellow them your leg will get pinned." I will say I spoke to guest relations and they were very kind. Just empathy - they still charged us the 1k for the trauma, but I did feel like they really listened and took my suggestion of giving the guides a physical checklist to go over like pilots do before flights. Like I totally get that mistakes happen, but own them. Do better next time. Care if your families have a good time or a terrible time.

    Brundage Mountain Resort - RUN!!!!! This IS NOT A SAFE SNOWMOBILE OPERATION- I am considering legal action. In happier times before the snowmobile crushed her leg.
