Breathtaking Scenery Around Every Corner

From high up on a snowmobile, you’ll get views that most people never see. Think about riding past frozen lakes, seeing deer tracks in untouched snow, and looking out over entire mountain ranges. It’s a photographer’s dream and a nature lover’s paradise.

Feel the Freedom of the Open Snow

There’s a special kind of freedom that comes with snowmobiling. You’re in control, exploring vast stretches of winter wonderland. It’s an exhilarating feeling that makes you forget all about everyday worries and just enjoy the moment.

Guided Tours: Your Best Bet for Beginners

Most people, especially those new to snowmobiling, choose guided tours. A friendly and experienced guide leads the way, showing you the best trails and making sure everyone stays safe. They know all the cool spots and can teach you how to handle the snowmobile. Tours can last anywhere from one hour to a full day.

Self-Guided Rentals: For the Experienced Explorer

If you’re an experienced snowmobiler and feel confident exploring on your own, some companies offer self-guided rentals. This gives you more flexibility to choose your own path, but it’s important to be familiar with the area and aware of safety rules and conditions.

Safety First, Always!

Before you even start your engine, you’ll get a safety briefing. Guides will explain how to control the snowmobile, what to do in different situations, and the rules of the trail. Listening carefully is key to having a fun and safe adventure!

For the Beginners: Gentle Glides and Scenic Paths

If it’s your first time, don’t worry! Many tours are designed for beginners. They usually stick to wider, less challenging trails with plenty of stops for photos and to take in the views. You’ll learn the basics in a relaxed and fun environment.

For the Intermediate Riders: More Thrills, More Speed

Ready for a bit more excitement? Intermediate tours might take you on slightly narrower trails, through more twists and turns, and offer a bit more speed. These are great if you’ve ridden a snowmobile once or twice and feel comfortable with the controls.

For the Experts: Backcountry Bliss and Deep Powder

If you’re an experienced snowmobiler looking for a real challenge, some companies offer advanced tours or permit self-guided rentals into more challenging terrain. This could mean deep powder, steeper climbs, and more technical riding. This is where you can truly unleash the power of the sled!

Dress for Success (and Warmth!)

Colorado winters are beautiful but can be very cold, especially when you’re moving fast on a snowmobile. Layering is your best friend!

• Base Layers: Wear warm, moisture-wicking clothes close to your skin (like long underwear, not cotton!).
• Mid-Layers: Add a fleece jacket or a warm sweater for extra insulation.
• Outer Layers: A waterproof and windproof jacket and snow pants are a must. Many rental places offer these, but check beforehand.
• Accessories: Warm gloves or mittens, a neck gaiter or balaclava, and thick wool socks are super important.
• Footwear: Insulated, waterproof winter boots are essential.

Don’t Forget These Essentials!

• Sunscreen and lip balm (the sun is strong at high altitudes!)
• Sunglasses or goggles (to protect your eyes from snow and glare)
• A small backpack for water, snacks, and personal items
• Your camera (you’ll want to capture those amazing views!)
• Your driver’s license (most places require riders to be 16 or older with a valid license)
• A way to pay (credit card or cash for rental fees and any deposits)

How to Book Your Adventure

It’s always a good idea to book your snowmobile rental in advance, especially during busy times like weekends and holidays. You can usually book online or by calling the rental company directly. They can answer any questions you have and help you choose the best tour or rental for your group.
