Backcountry Snowmobiling

We came the Utah from Pennsylvania not quite sure what to expect however back country snowmobiling was by far the greatest part of our weekend. Dan was an AWESOME guide and he far superseded our expectations. Highly recommend

This was an amazing experience! Probably one of the best experiences in my life! I was a little scared at first but our instructor made me feel extremely safe! The path you get to go on is awesome and you get to see the most beautiful views! We even saw three moose and one other critter but I forget what it was called it was like a winter weasel! Dan I believe was our tour guide and did an excellent job! He will even turn on you snowmobile if you’re scared of getting grease on you every time you need him too!

Forget the rest, this IS the best! Visiting from Virginia we did a lot of research to try to find the best tour Company for our money. Backcountry Snowmobiling is fantastic. We saw moose and Eagles. This is a private ranch so we were the only ones out in that area. The sleds were great as were our guides. Plenty of time to play and open up that throttle.

Ridonkerous fun. Eric was our guide. I think our tour was not typical. We were shredding uncut powder through borderline dangerous terrain. Way more adrenaline than I expected. If you demonstrate the skill and desire they WILL hook you up. Leave a big tip commensurate with the permagrin you leave with.

Signed up for a 3 hr tour on a Tuesday afternoon and no one else showed up. Had a private tour! Awesome vistas of the Wasatch and Unitas mountain ranges. Played around in several mountain meadows and we were sorry when time was up.

Amazing trip! Scenery was fantastic. Drive up beautiful. Tons of deer. Really nice snowmobiles. Great Value! Guide was fun and informative. Will definitely do again!

Brad (the owner), Dan (our guide) and Aaron (our driver) were all great. My group of four guys were all ready to rip it up and Dan could tell we wanted to have some fun. A quick tutorial on how to work the ski and the rules of the land and we were off. The trail to get out into the meadows was fun. If your group is experienced or picks up on how to ride they will take you at a faster pace. Once we got out to the meadow he showed us where to go/​not go and cut us loose. We did the 2 hour 3:30 which was great because we got a nice sunset on the way back. If there has been a lot of snow take note of where you guide says not to go because you will get stuck and waste play time digging out. One of my buddies left some gear behind and Aaron was nice enough to drop it off in Park City the following day on his next pickup. Great service. I would recommend these guys for sure.
Some things to note. It took 50 – 55 min from our house in PC which was right in town, but they picked us up for free since there was 3 or more of us. You don’t need your own helmet because theirs must be worn. A face gator is a good idea since you’ll be going fast and might get some pow shots. If you get stuck having some waterproof hiking boots on would be advisable or you could easily wear your snowboard boots (sorry skiers), don’t wear nice gear because you could possibly get grease on it from the pull cord when you start the ski, the helmets have gopro mounts on the top (mine did at least) and this was the best shot. I wore a chesty as well and you’re just moving around too much.

So awesome! I had done snowmobiling on an unguided tour in Colorado a few years ago and had a blast. We were looking for something kinda similar where we could go out and let it rip so I want sure how restricted a «guided» tour would be. We didn’t want to just ride around in a line on groomers.
I called earlier in the week and scheduled a time for a group of 7 which they easily accommodated. They also provided transportation from Park City to Coalville (about 50 minutes) free of charge. We got there and our guides Eric and Dan were awesome. They had a good attitude and made it clear that if we followed a few guidelines they had that they’d take us to awesome terrain and let us tear it up as hard as we wanted.
We started out on the trail for about 20 min where we saw incredible scenery and a giant moose. This gave everyone a little time to get used to how the snowmobile rides. We stopped at an open meadow and they have us a big field to open it up and. Then we went to the top of the ridge where they showed us a 3 state view of Idaho, Utah and Wyoming which was pretty incredible. Then we shredded open powder there before they took us to the «half pipe». They gave us technique tips, made us comfortable pushing the machines and praised our aggressive but safe riding. Would definitely go back. Great experience, amazing terrain and scenery. You won’t be able to wipe the grin off your face when you feel the brrraaaapppp

I took my 9 year old son, what a blast. Bring a go pro if you have one! First time on a snowmobile but will not be the last. Definitely coming back.

What a great experience! Our guide Eric took great care of us and the scenery was stunning. I highly recommend them.

What a beautiful place! We stayed in Park City, and the snowmobile folks (well, Max and his beautiful dog Maverick) picked us up and drove us to and from the camp (~35 min drive) free of charge. The guides were patient, friendly and incredibly helpful. Max even gave my 5yo a complimentary set of hand warmers an hour into the trip bc he was cold. We saw moose, turkeys and bald eagles and drove our mobiles to 9000 ft through the beautiful snow covered forests. A truly unforgettable experience. Def better than the mob-​scene field-​limited alternatives

Awesome experience! Hubby and I booked a 2 hour tour. It was my first time… We were the only two on the tour and were very well taken care of. I picked it up quickly and we both really enjoyed speeding up and playing around off trail! Even with less snow than usual, the views are beautiful. Highly recommended for anyone!

We were out for Sundance and decided to try snowmobiling. The Unilocal reviews looked good so we tried out backcountry. The reviews proves to be true! The guys were fantastic! They were Very friendly, professional and fun. They took care of us and the machines were in prime shape. We caught the sunset on the way back down the mountain. I am extremely happy I tried it and will remember the experience for many, many years.

We went on the 2 hour tour with Jacob and had a great time. I’d never been on a snowmobile and my boyfriend has quite a bit. The trails were easy enough for me to pick it up quickly but there were plenty of opportunities to ride faster and play around. Jacob did a great job teaching me to use the snowmobile. The best part was the incredible views views. I would highly recommend this tour to people of all skill levels.

We had a wonderful experience yesterday with backcountry snowmobiling. Brad, the owner kept my mom informed last week on there not being enough snow to go and rescheduled us until after a snowstorm hit a few days later. We stopped in Coalville on the way there and had breakfast at Rodriguez Polar King. We were surprised to find anything open early on a Sunday morning, but glad it was, very good food and large portions at low prices. Once arriving to the place, the guys were very helpful and had all the gear there. Next time I wouldn’t even bother wearing any of my own, just wear there’s at 2 dollars an item, it’s all in great shape and keeps you dry and warm. The snowmobile handles even put out heat, it was awesome. Brad and Dan were both our guides that day which are both super friendly and informative. We went at a good pace and stopped a good amount of times to take pictures and take a break. At one point, there was a big open field they let us race around in, quite fun! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something fun to do in the snow. Expect your shoulders to be sore the next day if you don’t do this often is the only bum thing about it. Other than that 5 stars all the way around!

This was a wonderful Experience, Brad was so helpful when we booked the event over the phone in advance of our arrival. Very patient with my many questions since we were all Newbies!!! First class service with Rountrip Service for our group, which was so convenient for us out of towners! We had an Amazing Time with Dallas as our tour guide — we were the first tour of the season and although the trail was scarce in certain spots the team went out of their way to make an awesome path for us and make it a quite enjoyable day. I highly recommend the 3 hour tour… We had plenty of photo ops and they entire Backcountry crew was simply Amazing! I would Highly recommend this and can’t wait to come back and d it again

Had a great experience as a first time snowmobiler. Went with my wife and another couple. The area is absolutely beautiful and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The views were stunning. The equipment was in great shape. Can’t wait to go back someday. Highly recommended!

Went snowmobiling for the first time with Dan as my guide — just the two of us. What a fabulous experience! Dan knew is stuff — a really nice guy and great teacher for a first timer. The equipment is top notch and the trails lead to some of the most glorious views I’ve ever seen. Couldn’t have been better. One note of caution: all of the snowmobiling outfits say they’re 30 minutes from Park City. Forty five minutes to an hour is more like it so leave yourself enough time to get there. It’s well worth the trip.

Went out on a Sunday morning trip. Brad was our guide. I took my girlfriend (who is a bit of a chicken) along as well as a ride-​along. What an incredible experience. Feet of dry sparkly powder. The first part of the trip was along this beautiful trail with incredible rockfaces. We then stopped in a large flat field and my girlfriend had an opportunity to try driving as well. Brad was a great guide; informative, witty and generally a happy person. His dawgs are incredibly friendly as well.
Ended up going up the mountain a good way and got to lay fresh tracks and go off trail for a while.
I’ve been snowmobling previously (in Tahoe) and this was an actual adventure. My previous experience was akin to a duckling following behind its mother and being frequently told to ‘slow down’. Get in line, etc, etc, etc. None of the latter with these guys. Great experience. I will be back.

What better way to spend an off day from the slopes than snowmobiling through the Utah backcountry. The drive out to Backcountry snowmobiling was pretty easy and offered some great views along E Chalk Creek Rd. We had a pretty large group (6 total) most of whom have never been on a snowmobile before. Dan, our guide, was a really chill guy and made sure everyone was comfortable before heading out. Throughout the tour he made sure to stop and take pics of us and tell us about the area. I asked him, ‘What do you call this area?’ His response, ‘Beautiful’. Good stuff. We did the 3 hour tour, which I think is a great length because it takes a little bit of getting used to riding the snowmobile. And with the 3 hour tour, it gives you time to adjust and then to let it rip on those trails. The highlights were the stunning views of the Utah backcountry and then the open areas of fresh powder where we were allowed to just have fun with the snowmobiles. If you’re in the area and looking for an activity for your off-​day, I highly recommend Backcountry snowmobiling. Oh, and if you bring your gopro, they have helmets with the adhesive mounts already, very convenient!
