Snowmobiling
Are you looking for the most fun-filled winter excitement Summit County has to offer? Snowmobiling offers an unforgettable adventure and will take you into terrain of powder fields or groomed trails high up in the peaks of the Rocky Mountains. A mild or wild adventure awaits, guided or unguided.
Summit County’s tour operators are some of the best in the Keystone, Breckenridge, Colorado and Rocky Mountain region. They offer access to spectacular terrain, with exceptional service, facilities and guide proficiency. Snowmobiling trips are often perceived as an adrenaline rush of a lifetime, and they often are, but most individuals also enjoy the wildlife and the education gained from a tour operator with the knowledge and experience a guide provides in the ecology, biology and geology of the area.
If a first timer into the snowmobile world, do not worry as the machines are very easy to operate, and a guide will fully instruct you for use and operation, and will start with groomed trails and work into more difficult terrain as each individual becomes more comfortable. For the experienced rider, guides will love to take you through some of their more challenging terrain and will make your tour as adrenaline charged as you can handle.
Experienced riders should also consider snowmobile rentals, as it allows a lot more freedom with time and schedule, and Summit County offers maps and information for those seeking the endless system of local trails along with the vast backcounty of the region. Those riders who venture into the backcounty unguided should be knowledgeable in backcountry and avalanche safety.
For those who have not tried this ultimate adventure before, you will need to bring gloves, eye protection such as sunglasses and/or goggles, neck gaiter or scarf, and warm and comfortable clothing which ski gear is usually appropriate. Tours operate when it is snowing, those are typically desirable conditions, so you need to prepare with clothing and under layer clothing to ensure you are comfortable throughout the day.
Tours offered range from 1, 2 or 3 hours to half day and full day unguided rentals, lunch tours, dinner tours, as well as private tours. Operators will gladly customize a trip to accommodate special request, along with larger groups of up to 120 people. So if you are organizing a reunion, celebration, or conference, this is a great activity to get everyone together on a fun day out!
