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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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! Great company! 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

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

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

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

From the online booking and confirmation, to the bus ride up the mountain, to gearing up and getting going, to traversing the gorgeous snow lined paths to the yurt and back, we had an absolutely phenomenal time. Nathan was an outstanding guide who made sure we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves while staying supremely safe. It’s rare for my 22yo daredevil son and I to agree when an experience is “enough without being too much” and we both had the very best time and can’t wait to do it again!!! 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

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
