Amazing Trip! My dad and his girlfriend came to visit, and we went on a half day tour with Vail Backcountry tours.... read more 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

Snowmobiling Fun Our family (7 of us) enjoyed a guided tour by Beau. It was terrific from start to finish. Jeremy and... read more Carrie were so welcoming and it was obvious they wanted our family to have a great experience.

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

Best experience I’ve ever had in Colorado This. Place. Is. Incredible.

Seriously, stop researching and just book this place now. Ask for Chuck, he’s a former paramedic... read more and an all-around amazing guy. His zest for life is contagious and he made our day so fun!

A 2-hour tour felt like it was a half-day but totally in a good way. I didn’t want it to end - it was incredible!

Everything from pick up to drop off was first class and absolutely wonderful. read less

Fantastic tour! We were a party of 5 who have snowmobiled before, and we would definitely do this again with Greg! Filled... read more out waivers while being transported from our condo, and did the 2-hour tour which entailed beautiful trails with "trail map" views of Vail, large open field for everybody to have their hand at taking laps, gorgeous single track trail through trees covered in snow, and rest stop in a yurt for lemon bars, brownie bites, cookies, apple cider, hot chocolate, coffee, etc. Fabulous friendly service and very relaxing tour - all the staff were laid back and friendly, making sure everyone was comfortable and warm. Thanks, Greg! read less

Great experience! We had such a blast today riding with Vail Backcountry Tours! We came from Denver and Fort Collins for our... read more 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

Amazing Views! Pick up from Lionshead was timely, short drive to the base camp and quickly geared up.

Staff ready to assist in... read more 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

Fantastic Adventure! We went on the two hour tour this past weekend. It was awesome! Our guide, Nathan, did a great job... read more 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.

GIRLS TRIP 2018 I found this company on trip advisor and we were overall pleased and had an awesome time with Greg. ... read more 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

Best Snowmobile Company!! Our guide Nathan was fabulous and took our family on an incredible adventure. We had our son and a... read more friend who both were 16 years old and each had their own machine. Nathan anticipated the adventurous needs of the boys and took us on a custom tour for our family.

Awesome snowmobile tour We took the 2 hour tour with Drew and had an awesome time! Plenty of scenery, breaks to take... read more 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.

They cancelled our tour an hour before We tried to book a private snowmobiling tour for two couples (two drivers), but they wouldn’t accept any less than... read more four drivers. Instead, we booked a group tour two days before. They warned us that by booking so late, no refunds would be offered if we cancelled.

We left the mountain at 1:30 to prepare for our 2:40 pm pick up, returned our skis, and were called as we left the ski shop telling us that they were cancelling our tour due to not enough riders in the group tour. Rather than accept the four of us for a 3:30 tour, they cancelled it, and ruined an afternoon of prime skiing (with fresh powder) due to their late cancellation. We’ll us Nova Guides from now on. read less
