The staff was amazing and our guide Chris was patient and beyond helpful. He was very kind and offered to take so many pictures with our phones of our families so we could save these memories. The whole family enjoyed every thing from the ride of the snow mobile, the breath taking views and of course the break in between for some hot chocolate and treats! Highly recommend for a experience you won’t forget!! 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

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.

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

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

The Vail Backcountry Team is friendly and fun. Safety is their priority. Our guide, Chris, was exceptional. Riding the miles of groomed trails was safe, fun and especially loved by my 9 y.o. A stop at the Yurt for some chocolate and cookies was a great addition to the tour.

The services, amenities, hot chocolate, brownies, Apple cider and cookies in a warm heated tent half way through was an added plus. The trail and the grounds were VERY well kept and a sight to see.

My husband and I were picked up at the hotel with some other adventurers.

This was my first time snowmobiling and I hope it won't be my last. Bo, our guide, was the best. Not only was he funny, but he was also one of the coolest guides I've ever met. He did everything to ensure everyone's safety and also that we all had a good time. He was very personable. It felt like talking to someone you've known for years rather than someone you just met.

The scenery was incredible. So I'm glad we made some stops for pictures. And we also had some time to rest and warm up with hot drinks like coffee, tea, and apple cider along with cookies. There were charging stations to recharge phones there as well.

I only wish I had chosen a longer trip or had been able to take another one before leaving Vail. So, if you're in the area, check them out and book early. 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

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.

The team, and in particular our guide Nathan Guild, did an AMAZING job teaching us how to drive and making sure I felt comfortable the entire time. It ended up being my favorite part of the entire trip: it was SO fun to drive, and the views were unbelievable (better than at the top of the ski mountain). I shared a machine with a friend, switching off driving, and did the 3 hour tour and thought it was the perfect combo/length for me. Nathan was truly the best guide ever - making sure I felt comfortable without slowing down the thrill-seekers of the group. If you have any anxiety about snowmobiling, he is your guy!! 10/10, cannot recommend more highly!!! read less

The staff was kind, funny and made you feel like you belonged in the crew. Greg was our guide and he was awesome!

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 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!

This is a 2 hour tour through the mountain with some breaks along the way. If your kids want to do something very exciting other than skiing this is highly recommended. 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

We had a magnificent day of snowmobiling with beautiful views, time to play on our sleds and a delicious lunch in the Yurt. Our guide, Beau, made us feel safe and cared for; experience makes the difference. And fresh snow did not stop Beau from making tracks to the top. We had so much fun! I would highly recommend Vail Backcountry Tours! 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

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

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!

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

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

Filled 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

Skilled and knowledgeable staff members ensured that our every need was anticipated and met. From making sure that we stayed warm to offering warm shelter and snacks during a short respite, they took very good care of our group. We traveled with children that did not want to leave this adventure. Our guide was funny, but never, ever let us forget that safety was of utmost importance. This group will make sure that you get your moneys worth. read less
