- A: Our snowmobiling guides are the best in the business, with years of snowmobiling experience in the Rocky Mountains. All employees are required to have a minimum certification level of first aid, CPR, and backcountry safety.
- Q: I have never been on a snowmobile before. Do you have a snowmobiling tour or rental that’s right for me?
- A: Of course. Many of our guests are inexperienced snowmobilers and several of our tours and rentals have been designed to accommodate the needs of first-time riders. We’ll provide you with a tutorial covering the operation of your snowmobile and allow you some practice time with it prior to your tour’s departure. Our friendly reservations staff will be happy to help you choose the tour or rental package that’s right for your party.
