We had a magnificent day of snowmobiling with beautiful views, time to play on our sleds and a delicious lunch in the Yurt.

PLEASE review your sale receipt before leaving. Our gratitude was based off the entire sale, which included taxes and accidentals. The gratitude should have only been based on the snowmobile price. This company is racking up on extra funds if you do not bring it to their attention. Once you do bring it to their attention, they have no problem returning the funds to your card.

Greg was our guide and he is very safe and accommodating to all ability levels, knowledgable of the area you are riding in, a professional group photographer, and one of those guys that if you saw in town after your tour you would feel lucky to buy him a beer to say thanks for a GREAT day!

The owners went out of their way to make my husbands 50th birthday extra special. The yurt is a special place to relax half way through the tour with hot yummy drinks. Everything about this tour was perfect! This was the best part of our week long trip to Vail. The views are spectacular and the guide was awesome! We can’t wait to do it again.

I bought a gift certificate for a two hour tandem snowmobile trip back in 2017. We just had time to get around to a tour on March 2nd and it was everything and more. The scheduling process was so efficient and they had no problem applying the gift certificate. We were provided with detailed information weeks out from the trip and always had great communication. The actual trip was nothing less than spectacular. Every step of the process is simple, easy and planned which is so nice. The driving terrain and scenery were absolutely perfect. The staff was kind, funny and made you feel like you belonged in the crew. Greg was our guide and he was awesome! Not to mention that the snowmobiles were in top condition and have the best hand warmers for the driver and passengers. We will absolutely come back and have another go around! More read less

My family consists of 2 adults and two teens (16 & 19). We did the 1/2 day tour & each drove our own machines.

We made memories that day! We all were stunned at the beauty we saw. Gorgeous!
Their van picked us up at the hotel and after a short drive, we were at their setup on the mountain. There, we were fitted with better boots (use them!) & helmets. They had water, restroom and some t-shirts for sale.

Greg was our guide and he was the absolute BEST! He was kind, patient and cautious. We felt safe at all times.

The tour length (1/2 day) was awesome for us as some tours we have done in the past have felt too short. This one was the perfect amount of time for our family. I think with younger kids, I would ask their opinion on best length. I guess it depends on your kiddos and how adventurous that are (it's cold!). Again, we LOVED every single moment & would do it all again in a heartbeat!

Halfway through our tour, we stopped @ the Yurt to warm up! So cute. The yurt provided us with a nice warm fire, some snacks (lemon bars! etc), warm drinks (cocoa! etc), chargers for phones and a restroom break (outhouse in the snow, ya'll, lol)! We took a few photos there, too. Everything was clean and cozy and we thought it was a fun experience!

Greg made sure to stop a few times throughout the tour so we could take pics. He even offered to take a few for us so we could have the whole family together. 🙂

Did I say the scenery is gorgeous!!! Breathtaking, really.

I highly recommend Vail Backcountry Tours & if you get Greg, he's just great!

The weather was perfect, our guide Nathan was awesome, and the views were fantastic. My only suggestion would be to slow down, especially when riding through scenic forests.

I would highly recommend this tour company 10000x over again ~ halfway through the tour you stop at a warm cozy hut to warm your toes and enjoy some hot cocoa and warm brownies. Shay greeted us there with a warm welcome and made sure we were all taken care of before heading back down the mountain. I’m telling you this was one of my top adventures of my lifetime!

It was a 25 minute ride to the mountain and was happily surprised they had my size in boots, bibs and helmet (I am a big guy). On Saturday we had a fantastic group and a great leader and it was so much fun in the mountains. The break at the Yurt was great and the lemon tarts are to die for. I went back Monday with the wife. We did not have as good of a group and at the beginning was a lot of waiting for people to catch up but still a great time. Great time and the people working there could not be any nicer.

The entire operation runs so well and all of the guides are professional and enthusiastic.

Chuck picked us up five minutes early at our hotel in Avon. He was friendly and chatted with us on the drive to base camp.

Once you arrive at base camp, all the guides work together to get you suited up in the warm-weather gear. They had positive attitudes and gave our little boy extra attention.

Beau was our tour guide and he led us through trails that had one jaw-dropping vista after another. The group stopped for refreshments in a cozy yurt before moving along again.

There was a minor hiccup in that one of our group had a “check engine” light flash on. Beau was on top of it, radioed for help, and within two minutes a replacement snowmobile appeared and we continued on our way.

I can’t say enough about this company. It wasn’t cheap, but the tour was worth every penny. I will definitely do it again if we go back to Vail. read less

When we first arrived, the check-in was extremely busy but managed well. I was a little uncomfortable due to Covid-19 with so many people inside of the building, so we checked-in and waited outside. They took our concerns seriously and were very accommodating by giving us our own family vehicle to ride up to where the snow mobiles were waiting.

The snow mobiles were in great shape and went really fast! We were a little nervous at first, but the instructors gave us a very thorough demonstration, and then we were off! It was exhilarating and so much fun. The views were absolutely beautiful!!!
We took our boys ages 8 & 10, and while they weren't able to drive, they still loved riding as a passenger.

They picked us up from our hotel in Avon. Greg and Diego were our snowmobiling guides. After a brief lesson on how the snowmobile worked, we we off into the mountains! SO MUCH FUN! We followed each other in a line, but were able to go pretty fast. The snowmobiles were brand new, and very nice. After going for a couple of hours, we stopped in at their yurt for lunch, and a nice warm up near the wood burning stove. Food was great! We went back out and snowmobiled for a bit, then headed back to their office. Greg and Diego were AWESOME guides. Everyone had an absolutely great day. I want to do it again with our teenage kids. Things to know: they provided googles, helmets and warm boots for those who needed them. Boots were much warmer than the ones I had worn there. Definitely bring a neck warmer thing so you can cover your face. The handlebars and throttle are heated, but you still need some good gloves. I can’t say how much we enjoyed our day!

He also took us off the beaten path onto single trails that cut through the beautiful alpine forest. Definitely ask for GREG, he’s the best! In the middle of your excursion, the guide takes the group to a “yurt” that’s warm and full of snacks and drinks like coffee and hot coco. I can’t recommend this trip enough!

After he picked us up from the parking lot, no more than 5 seconds in to the shuttle ride, this man who I have never met before in my life made it seem as if I have known him my entire life! Such a personable, happy guy who expresses his love for the outdoors, and has immense passion in his profession. We haven’t even gotten to the tour yet! To start the tour he gives an in depth, fun, yet serious explanation of the machine. Once he assures we have no questions, we are on our way. The beginning of the tour he acquired a feel for the skill level and comfort of our group. Safety being his number one priority, he determines the safest yet most adventurous and beautiful trails to take. He stops at points he knows like the back of his hand that are beautiful and lively. He gives us educational info on the types of wildlife in the area and the tracks they make so that we can define (on our tour) the types of wildlife that has crossed or been through that area. This trip was nothing short of amazing. Every trail we took warmed my heart and made the inner kid in me come alive. As a Floridian who has come out every spring to visit family for about 12 years straight now, No other trip like this has left me with such joy. For those who take the time to read this, and even if Mark were to read this. I want to thank him and advise anyone in the area or anyone taking a trip out there to choose Mark Boutin as your guide. He is the man and made this trip something special and something I will remember for life. I could go on and on about this trip and the amazing man who took us through the incredible backcountry. YOU ROCK MARK! read less

Nathan anticipated the adventurous needs of the boys and took us on a custom tour for our family. We have used this company every year in Vail and this year they purchased all new 2019 machines. We always choose the lunch option and the food was delicious. Jeremy had taken us in the past and paired us with a perfect fit. Great Company!!! Beautiful scenery! read less

It's always a great time and very beautiful. Today was our best one yet. Mark Boutin was our guide and he was awesome. He took the time to talk about different animal tracks we saw and types of wildlife in the mountains. He also showed us different landmarks and told stories about them. He clearly loves what he does and we had fun with him. The snowmobiles are brand new and very comfortable too. This company is by far the best out there. … read less

It was even better than we expected. The whole staff was really nice and the snow conditions were amazing. Whether you are looking for a safe and low key joy ride through the mountains, or trying to ride the throttle around some turns and on the track, this is the place to do it! We did the standard tour with grand touring ski doos, and next time we’ll probably do the high performance sleds. Greg was a great guide and when someone in our group got stuck in the powder twice, he was really nice and helped tow them out. Carrie was very responsive and helpful I’m getting everything scheduled too. The extra gear they have available for use was really nice too. I highly recommend this. It will be fun for everyone involved. read less

Terrain interesting enough for those of us who had snowmobiled before, but not to difficult for my daughter’s first ride. Greg was great! Safe, patient and entertaining. Greg picked us up from our hotel in Vail and in about 30minutes we were riding.
The 3 hour tour included lunch in their private yurt which was over the top! Deifinitely worth the extra money. Whole staff was energetic and helpful. Would definitely do again! read less

He made the experience memorable! Sunny skies on the way out & amazing mountain sunset at the top of the ridge. Groomed road/trail most of the way, but also some tree trails & a flat track to open up with some speed. Highly recommend the 3:30 time & this company. Convenient to Vail Lionshead. Short drive & they pick you up. DO IT! read less

Our guide, Nathan, did a great job of explaining to the whole group of six (all first-timers) how to operate the snowmobiles and how to communicate with one another before we left. The views and trails were gorgeous! The stop at the yurt for snacks, drinks, and bathrooms was appreciated. Nathan truly maximized every minute of our two hours to make sure we had a great experience. I was very nervous to do this, but now look forward to going back and snowmobiling again. read less

I had never been on a snow mobile before, so the beginning was a little timid, driving a vehicle that on a road with a drop off, by time we returned I was not at all uncomfortable navigating the road near offices. We spent 3 hours with our guide traversing the countryside with some seriously beautiful breathtaking views. My favorite however was when things opened up and you got the chance to really get some speed going! To finish it off we ended up in this fabulous Yurt where we served lunch and warm drinks. I will absolutely be doing this again if I find myself in Vail! More read less

Vail Backcounty Tours was by far the highlight of our trip. From booking to arranging for transportation to the actual snow mobiles themselves- outstanding. Halfway through the tour you get a break for warm drinks and sweet treats (they even have a charging station for phones). Our guide Nathan Guild made our experience exceptional. Thank you Vail Backcountry Tours and Nathan! You guys rock and we look forward to our next tour). read less
