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

We stayed in vail, got picked up at our hotel by the our tour guide Greg in the VBT shuttle, ushered up to the office, quick check in, briefing and we were off into the most amazing back country!

Awesome trails, fun flat area track, plenty of fast paced riding, beautiful stops along the way including a warming hut with snacks and hot beverages AND we were lucky enough to see Moose along the way thanks to our awesome guide Greg. Make sure you request Greg if you can, he was great!

This trip was the highlight of our vail experience and we will do it again! read less

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

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

Nathan Guild picked us up directly from our hotel in Vail and was an absolute gentleman. Once we picked the rest of group up from a meeting site, we drove in a limo style shuttle van. Top shelf from start to finish. The staff was all attentive once we arrived to the main snowmobile headquarters and was so genuine in wishing my wife and I happy 55th birthday!! I've ridden in several snowmobiles during my lifetime, however, these were by far top of the notch! Heated handlebars for the passengers seat complete with backrest, and heated driver grips along with touch adjusting buttons. After a well detailed safety and instructions meeting with Nathan, we began our journey into the winter wonderland of the Vail mountains. We were a group of 12 with Nathan and a guild in training bringing up the rear. I felt so safe as did my wife on the same vehicle. Safety was priority number 1 with this company. You could tell, this is not for the yahoos and drunks. If you wipe out, it could ruin everyone's trip waiting to pull your snowmobile out of the ravines. After a joyful ride, we made our way to the mountain top hut. A wonderful "Happy birthday " dessert and candles made our day!!! My wife wants to do it again and next time with friends and family. read less

They pick you up right at your hotel accommodations. Then take you in to get outfitted correctly. Although we felt prepared with our outerwear, they quickly gave us boots & jackets that were more appropriately suited to the cold weather that will be experienced. while riding. So do not worry if you didn't bring the right stuff. They have you covered. They do a great job going over snowmobiling instructions, and we all felt comfortable while at on the trail (one adult single driver, one 15yr old single driver - with permit, and 2 of us double riding). The snowmobiles even have heated handles which help to keep your hands warm the whole time (even for the 2nd rider). The trails were beautiful and of course made our kids from Florida very happy with all the snow that had recently accumulated. We did the 3+ hour tour with lunch. The lunch served at the yurt was delicious. We were welcomed into a warm yurt, which of course felt so good. The hot chocolate, hot apple cider were delicious. And the lunch with dessert hit the spot. The only thing is that I would have liked to have been able to stop a few additional times to take some pictures, as the scenery was absolutely breathtaking - especially maybe to those of us from Florida 🙂 We would most definitely book again on our next trip to Vail. It was one of the highlights of our trip for all 4 of us! read less

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!

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

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. Overall, the tour was great, lunch exceeded our expectations, and the scenery was beautiful! read less

We had an awesome tour guide named Greg who made our group laugh the entire time. He was great/safe with the kids in our group, but also kept up an exciting speed for the more daring snow mobilers. 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!

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.

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!

Boy was my mind blown... right from the start, we are met with a big smile and an ambitious personality none other than Mark Boutin. 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

They are AMAZING!!! We chose them because they made everything super easy from start to finish. They picked us up, got us situated on some brand new machines, provided an AWESOME tour of the slopes and trails across from Vail Mountain and delivered us back home with everyone smiling. 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! Cannot wait for another group to come visit so we can take them on another snowmobiling adventure with Vail Backcountry Tours!!!! read less

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

They came right to our hotel at the vail Marriott, picked us up, took us up the mountain and thoroughly taught us how to snowmobile safely and effectively. Great surprise was having the little hut with desserts and different beverages!! Will probably start snowmobiling more than skiing from now on when In vail!!! Thanks Nathan and co.! 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

Plenty of scenery, breaks to take photos, and even got to race on their track. We took a break midway through the tour in their yurt for cocoa/cider and treats. They provided boots, helmets and outerwear. Make sure to bring your goggles and gloves (even though the handle bars are heated). They picked us up at the hotel and returned us so very convenient. Well worth the price and would highly recommend them! read less

Their number one priority is your safety so they will walk you through every single details you can think of. They picked me up at my hotel and back. The front desk personnel are super nice. They even let me borrow an adapter for my GoPro camera. They will make sure you are gear up ready. They will provide for helmets, boots and other gear you might need. It’s a two hour trip with some stops along the way for pictures and also a hot chocolate and sweets. My tour guide Chris Lee was so cool and profesional. Chris was so kind and take us lots of pictures. This company will ask you to leave a 20% tip, please don’t be cheap and tip this guys because they well deserved. read less
