Description

Get ready for the perfect winter adventure with a guided half-day backcountry snowmobile tour. Enjoy the speed and adventure of a snowmobile with the comfort of a guide to take you to the best spots along the journey.

This tour is perfect for those that want to skip the groomed trails and perfect for those that want to get out to play in the powder. The Polaris RMK Pro or Khaos sleds have more power and a longer track that makes them optimal for off-groomed fun in the powder and your guide will show you around to top play areas.

This tour has a limited availability and is only available for a maximum of 4 guests.

IMPORTANT BOOKING INSTRUCTRIONS - For the first rider please select 'Half-Day Rental w/ Guide' followed by 'Additional Single Rider Snowmobile' for up to 3 additional guests.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear for snowmobiling?

For snowmobiling, we recommend wearing warm layers and ski gear. However we rent EVERYTHING you could possibly need for the cold. Don’t stress too much if your closet has more paisleys than parkas! Helmets are included in all rentals.

How much does fuel cost?

Final charge will be determined at the end of your rental. Faster and more aggressive riding will result in more fuel consumption and a higher final cost. Average use for half-day snowmoible rentals is typically between 2-3 gallons while full day rentals are between 3-4 gallons. Fuel rates are subject to change with current gas prices and credit card fees.

Is there a minimum age to ride a snowmobile?

Snowmobile drivers must be 16 years of age. All driver’s must possess a valid drivers license. All ages are welcome to ride!
