We were outfitted with suits, helmets and goggles. Explanation of snow mobiles was easy. The views were amazing and the hot cider and chocolate at the yurt were yummy. Very fun racing around the track and opening it up in the meadow. One of the best things we have ever done. Wanted to go back but they were booked. Don't think about it - just do it - so much fun. read less

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

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.

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

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

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

He not only made sure we were fully informed of all of the safety protocols and hand signals, but also helped our experience with GREAT energy, smiles, laughs and a welcoming spirit.

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

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! It’s a must-do for anyone vacationing in Vail or the surrounding mountains. read less

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

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 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

They picked us up from home is a very nice shuttle, brought us up the Piney Lake rd to get situated. They even had snow boots for those of us not properly shod. Lol. Our guide, Greg, was super! Charming, welcoming and just great. He taught us the ropes and showed us a great time. Thanks Greg! 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

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

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
