The equipment was incredible, brand new, beautiful snow mobiles with heated hand grips!! Our outing was in the late afternoon, so as we were heading back the sun was setting. What an incredible sunset and then the lights of Vail came on. Definitely a memorable evening and we will most definitely repeat next year! read less

Curtis was amazing! He was super knowledgeable and so much fun, We didn't get to see many views because it was pretty much white out conditions all afternoon, but that made it better in my opinion because there was probably 2 feet of fresh powder on all the trails. it was untouched and Curtis took us on some amazing trails out Muddy Pass. We had such an amazing time, I couldn't say enough how great everyone was! read less

The snowmobiling prep was very organized with all the gear necessary for your comfort and safety supplied and fitted to you. Machines were easy to operate and well maintained. We had fresh snow fall and enjoyed a pristine trail through the woods as we worked our way up the mountain. There was a large oval track where we were turned loose to run the machines. The we stopped to warm up in a yurt, with a wood fired stove, hot chocolate and cookies. I would highly recommend this trip. 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

Once we suited up (bring ski goggles and a neck gaiter if you have them) we were ready to roll. Most from my group borrowed bibs and boots, and brought their own shells and insulation layers.

We did an afternoon tour, and rode back in the dark with headlights which was awesome. The sleds seem new and are very nice, and the tour guides are great. This was the highlight of a short trip to vail. read less

You get picked up by them. The driver actually was our tour guide so by the time the tour started, we were all comfortable with Greg R. Funny, witty, knowledgeable and friendly! We picked up other customers while we filled out and your typical waiver, and then were taken to their base camp where we were given special gear: boots (go a size higher than what you normally wear), and a helmet. We then walked to our snowmobile. Greg explained how the machine worked, how to turn (lean left or right to help it out), and some basic signals. Off we went up the hill. On the way you see some amazing views. It is bumpy so if you are in tandem (i.e. two per vehicle), the one in the back gets to feel most of the bumps. After some time we reached a valley where Greg let us loose. They had built a sort of race track where we were able to go full speed ahead! Next we went to more sightseeing. The best part? Going in between the trees! At certain areas, you could hit a tree limb simply by raising your hand. Making snow fall and maybe hitting your friends right behind you.

From there we went back to the valley where the race track was so we could have lunch inside an actual yurt! Food was really good considering you are in the middle of nowhere. We had chicken poblano soup, Mac and cheese and pulled pork. For dessert, lemon bars, chocolate chip cookies and brownies.
After lunch, we went around the area and then headed back to base.
Highly recommend the company and tour! More read less

All of our questions were answered and this adventure was one of the very best our family experienced.

He gave us a lot of history background during the trip and it was great for my oldest child who loves history.

This tour is nice in that it's directly opposite the Vail ski mountain. Across I-70. It takes minutes to get to their pickup location. Compared to spending an hour or more in a shuttle as I've done with other companies. We chose to drive ourselves to the pickup location instead of using the free shuttle.

Our guide, Nathan Guild, was professional, knowledgeable, and fun!!! Frankly everyone we interacted with at Vail Backcountry Tours was very nice, from the pickup location driver to the woman in the base camp, to the assistant of our guide and the young lady managing the yurt that we stopped at mid-tour.

I highly recommend this company for beginners, advanced tours and families. I'll certainly do an advanced tour next year with Nathan! More read less

They helped outfit us with all the right equipment and before any of us sat down on the snowmobiles, they gave us great instructions about safety
It was so much fun. The views were amazing. Everyone had a great morning tour, which ended with a visit with a trip to their Yert for a warm drink and snacks before heading back down to base camp.
I would not hesitate to do this again! We all agree it was a great time. More 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

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!

Greg was knowledgeable about CO, the sites, and trails. The snow mobiles were very nice, the seats, handles, and even the thumb throttle were heated. Even though there wasn't much snow in the mountains, the trails they had groomed had a lot. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because we were all asked by Kerry to tip "the industry standard" of 20% at the beginning of the tour. We felt pressured to tip on the card and a certain amount before the tour had even started. Guides would receive more tips if checkout was at the end and not beginning.

Staff ready to assist in any way possible. Greg was our guide and gave a quick tutorial of the new Ski Do equipment. Easy start and up the mountain we went. Heated handle bars were a luxury, and I mean heated, bring thick gloves. The snow mobiles handled perfectly, easy to maneuver. The day was sunny, 35 degrees, and the sky was clear. We had a great group, all very good drivers which makes the trip even better. Greg was great at hand singles and took us to the meadow area with a track for going a little crazy. Greg gave us advice, let us run the track several times then back out on the trails. We stopped at two great photo spots, Greg took family photos and gave us general information about the area and view. The trails we fun, varying degree of difficulty and straight aways plenty to give it full gas. Lunch in the Yurt was really tasty, the butternut squash soup my favorite, others in my group liked the bbq and mac and cheese. Hot drinks a little rest and back down the mountain. A great trip, we all loved the adventure and Greg was a great guide! This is a must do if you are looking for a fun family break from skiing. More read less

We came from Denver and Fort Collins for our friend’s birthday and had more fun than we even expected. The trip took about 2.5 hours- 3 with suiting up and the instruction session- so we definitely got our money’s worth. They made sure we were well-suited for the cold and gave us a safety briefing before we took off. Super scenic views, good speeds for both those who wanted to go quickly at times and still slow enough for those who wanted to take a leisurely pace and take in the views. A great stop at a nice little hut for some hot cocoa, treats, and toe warming by the wood fire. Overall a wonderful experience and great guides! read less
