Park City Utah Snowmobiling
We know we’re forever saying Utah has the best this and the best that, but it totally has some of the best backcountry snowmobiling in the world.
Park City Utah snowmobiling is ideal for experienced folk, or if you’re a newbie who just fancies taking a day out from skiing or snowboarding to try something new.
There are Utah snowmobile tours to suit every skill level just minutes from central Park City.
Before your book, it pays to ask a number of questions to ensure that the snowmobiling company you opt for offers exactly what you’re after. Like the right terrain, equipment, snow and service.
Snowmobiling Terrain
Utah is no slouch when it comes to gorgeous terrain, so the last thing you want is to find yourself on a snowmobile tour that covers overly-developed areas or sticks exclusively to crowded public lands.
Ask your prospective tour company what percentage of the trip is true backcountry – that means no condos and highway vistas. Also check that the photos displayed on their website are taken from their *actual* tours, rather than stock images of goodness knows where.
Snowmobiling Equipment
While any tour that relies on clunky old equipment should set off safety alarm bells, with snowmobiling great gear is essential.
Snowmobiles that are either old or cheap can be tricky to drive and ultimately may strain your back. And, if it doesn’t have the oomph to get you from A to B, that’s part of your precious Utah ski holiday wasted. To swot up on different types of snowmobile, check out GoSnowmobiling.org.
Is There Loads of Snow?
Typically, the greater the elevation the longer the snowmobiling season and the more quality snow on offer. A tour that starts too low could see you navigating dirt, sagebrush and icy bumps.
Snowmobiling Service
Expect the best of your Utah ski holiday, including world-class service on your Park City snowmobile tour. That means friendly, qualified guides, private groomed trails, and manageable group sizes. Plus, don’t forget to confirm whether your booking is inclusive of: gas/oil charges; shuttle services; and clothing rental.
