How much does a guided snowmobile tour cost?

Recreational sleds are $325 per snowmobile and Powder sleds (faster, more powerful machines for experienced riders) are $425 per snowmobile. All tours include 2-3 hours on the mountain, a knowledgeable guide, and all necessary gear including boots, helmets, goggles, coveralls, and gloves. We also offer a 10% discount for military, police, and first responders.

Where are the snowmobile tours located?

Our tours take place in the Heber-Kamas Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, which offers over 200 miles of groomed snowmobile trails and access to over 400,000 acres of mountain terrain. We start in Kamas, Utah at 15 W 2200 S, Kamas, UT 84036, conveniently located near Park City and Salt Lake City.

What time do the snowmobile tours start?

Snowmobile tours run from 9AM to 1PM. Please plan to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled tour time to complete paperwork, receive training, and get fitted with your gear.

Do I need snowmobiling experience to go on a tour?

No prior experience is necessary! All guided tours include training before you hit the trails, and you’ll have a knowledgeable guide with you the entire time. If you’re new to snowmobiling, we recommend watching our recommended beginner trail riding video before your tour. We offer Recreational sleds for standard riders and Powder sleds for those with more experience.

What gear do I need to bring?

We provide helmets, goggles, waterproof bib coveralls, boots, and gloves at no extra charge. You should dress as if you were going skiing and bring a ski jacket and sunglasses. You may also bring your own ski helmet if you prefer to use it instead of ours.

Do I need a driver's license to ride a snowmobile?

Yes, all drivers must have a valid driver’s license. If you are under 16 years old or unlicensed and will be riding on public lands in Utah, you must complete an education course. You can get licensed through the Utah snowmobile education program at snowmobile-ed.com/utah.

Can children ride on the snowmobile tours?

Yes, children can participate! Riders under 16 or those without a driver’s license need to complete the Utah snowmobile education course before riding on public lands. Visit snowmobile-ed.com/utah to get your younger riders licensed to ride in Utah.

Is transportation available from Park City to the tour location?

Yes, transportation is available to and from Park City or Heber City/Midway for an additional charge. Please contact us for a quote on transportation services.

What is the difference between Recreational Sleds and Powder Sleds?

Recreational sleds ($325 per snowmobile) are our standard snowmobiles, perfect for a great experience on the trails. Powder sleds ($425 per snowmobile) are faster machines with more power, designed for experienced riders who want a more thrilling ride.

Do I need a permit to ride in the National Forest?

No, you don’t need to get a permit yourself. High Country Snowmobiles holds all applicable permits for the National Forest Service, so everything is taken care of for you.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my tour?

All tours are weather permitting. If conditions are unsafe for riding, the tour may be rescheduled. Please contact us if you have concerns about weather on your scheduled tour day.
