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

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 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

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.

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

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! Great company! 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

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

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!

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 did an afternoon tour, and rode back in the dark with headlights which was awesome. The sleds seem new and are very nice, and the tour guides are great. This was the highlight of a short trip to vail. read less

He made the experience memorable! Sunny skies on the way out & amazing mountain sunset at the top of the ridge. Groomed road/trail most of the way, but also some tree trails & a flat track to open up with some speed. Highly recommend the 3:30 time & this company. Convenient to Vail Lionshead. Short drive & they pick you up. DO IT! 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

Greg was an amazing tour guide. He was friendly and catered to everyone’s need during the tour. I highly recommend them. Ask for Greg for your tour. The lunch was amazing and the hot cocoa was like made from scratch. Not machine watered down like most places. Definitely worth the price. Can’t wait to go back. read less

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

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

Nathan anticipated the adventurous needs of the boys and took us on a custom tour for our family. We have used this company every year in Vail and this year they purchased all new 2019 machines. We always choose the lunch option and the food was delicious. Jeremy had taken us in the past and paired us with a perfect fit. Great Company!!! Beautiful scenery! read less

We had a stop for hot chocolate, hot apple cider and cookies along the way. Very comfortable, they provide a snowsuit, boots and a helmet. Greg was our guide and kept us going at the right pace with speeds between 20 and 30 for the most part. And they have a track in this huge meadow where you can let loose. New vehicles on our tour, too. read less
