Guide to Snowmobiling in Colorado

Snowmobiling is a sure way to crack a smile on your face during the snowy season. You can rip at incredible speeds through vast landscapes, whether you own your own snowmobile or not.

Colorado’s national forests are loaded with free snowmobile trails. Places like Vail Pass and Rabbit Ears Pass are meccas for snowmobilers all winter long.

Where to rent a snowmobile

There are snowmobile rentals available throughout Colorado’s Rockies. Prices and tours vary, usually around a couple of hundred bucks for a few hours. Some rentals include guided tours, while others just give you the snowmobile and tell you where you could go.

Requirements vary, but usually, drivers must be 18 years old and passengers at least 3. Usually single and double rider snowmobiles are available.

Types of snowmobile tours

Tours range in length from an hour to full-day choices. Usually, half and full days are the most popular. A few hours on a snowmobile is a good amount of time.

Guided – These tours wind all over Colorado’s Rockies, some to ghost towns, others over alpine passes. Most tours will lead you through the national forests and mountainsides at limited speeds single file until you get to open areas where you can really let loose. If there’s trouble, your guide is there to help you out.

Unguided – Rent a snowmobile, get some advice and head out. It’s always best to go with at least one person, if not a small group. Explore the wilderness on your own terms. By-the-hour, half-day, full-day, and overnight rentals are all available. You probably will need to be at least 18+ years old to rent a snowmobile.

What to wear for snowmobiling

  • Snow pants and jacket
  • Helmet, provided with rental
  • Waterproof ski gloves
  • Waterproof winter boots
  • Sunglasses or snow goggles
  • Multiple layers
  • Neckwarmer
  • Sunscreen and chapstick
