Keystone, Colorado Guided Snowmobile Tours – Beginners & Families

Prices posted are our normal pricing. Pricing does vary for more popular tours and times. Dynamic pricing is in effect for our most popular times / tours and are availble to view at checkout.

We ask that you arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled tour and when you get to our outpost, we’ll have you fill out the appropriate paperwork. High Country Tours provides complimentary DOT-rated helmets to our riders.  Equipment Rentals:  Adult Snowsuits $25, Adult Boots $15, and Goggles $10 on a first come, first serve basis. We do NOT have child-sized snowsuits or boots.

Once you’re all geared up, you’ll be assigned a guide. Your highly experienced guide will demonstrate how to operate the snowmobiles, answer any questions you may have on how to operate the machines, and educate you on proper trail etiquette.

Once everyone is ready to start down the trail, you will all leave the parking lot together and your guide will check to make sure that everyone is coming along.  We want everyone to feel comfortable with the pace of the tour and ensure that you are well within your own comfort zone. If at any time, you have a question or concern, you can stop on the trail and your guide will come back to check on you.

Ultimately, it’s your responsibility to operate the vehicle safely and you should never go on terrain, over obstacles, or travel faster than you feel comfortable with.  Feel free to stop at any time and your guide will address your concerns.

Your guide will direct you to spots that will afford dramatic views and photo opportunities of mountain peaks and the surrounding landscape features and show all the coolest trails.  Let your guide know what kind of tour you’d like! If you want to spend more time at viewpoints you can do that, but if you’d prefer seeking thrills on your snow machine, your guide will help you find the best places to explore and ride.

When you arrive back at our parking lot, you’ll check in the gear and the snowmobile you were assigned.  Be sure to show your appreciation for the service your guide provided by offering the customary gratuity.  Afterwards, feel free to hang out and share your experience with others or watch as new arrivals begin their own adventure!

You are responsible for repairs of any collision damages that you may have caused. The good news is that High Country Tours offers our “Snowmobile Repair Fund.” By contributing $30 (per driver) to this fund before your tour, you will be responsible for the first $1500 to repair the damage to the driver’s snowmobile that the driver has caused. The repair of the driver’s snowmobile over $1500 will come out of the repair fund.

We recommend you talk to your insurance provider prior to your tour to make sure you have adequate coverage for this activity. Considering that some of our machines cost over $16,000, this could be a very wise choice.

In order to drive a full-sized snowmobile, the driver must have a valid driving learner’s permit or license.  Only adults 18 or over with a valid driver’s license can carry passengers.  We have snowmobiles that can carry a driver plus one or two passengers.  Small children need to be able to sit behind the driver and hold on by themselves. Up to two larger children can ride behind on one of our 3-seaters if they are able to hold on by themselves for the duration of the tour.  It is highly recommended that pregnant women or infants do not participate.

Kids under 70 pounds can ride our kiddie snowmobiles in a specially designated area.  No age limit!  If they can operate it by themselves, they’re good to go. We also have mid-size snowmobiles for those children over 70lbs but not yet old enough to drive a full size machine. These are a stop during the tour for a few minutes and there is no extra cost!
