No matter which company you prefer the scenery is stunning. You will see mountain vistas that would be impossible to view from a car. It is intoxicating to explore the gorgeous winter wonderland of the rockies. Expect it to be very cold, especially with the wind chill. Layering with fleece and synthetic materials will keep you warmer than cotton. In some instances you may encounter up to 2000 – 3000ft in altitude change. Plan your snowmobiling trip for a day you will have had time to adjust to the altitude.
We recommend you get out and experience the rockies from the back of a snowmobile! The experience is sure to be one of a kind.
