Guide
Snowmobile, snowbike, or winter UTV?
Four winter tours leave the same shop. They suit very different days. A straight comparison, using the outfitter's own published details.
Guided Snowmobile Tour, from $295
About two hours on professionally groomed trails through private and public land on a Polaris Indy 550 LXE, single or double. Guide out front, full instruction first. This is the first-timer and family tour. Drivers 15 and up.
Snowmobile High Adventure, from $350
Half-day, full-day or multi-day off-trail riding on a Polaris Pro RMK 850 mountain sled: meadows, hill climbs and tree riding on the private 1,000-acre ranch and public land. For intermediate to advanced riders. Skills instruction is available if you want to learn side-hilling and climbing properly.
Snowbike, call for pricing
A Yamaha 450-powered Polaris Timbersled: a dirt bike with a ski and a track. Private guided outings, half-day to multi-day, on the ranch's 1,000-plus acres. If you already ride moto, it is the most natural way into winter; if you do not, start with a sled.
Winter UTV, call for pricing
Three hours in a 4-seat Polaris RZR with a heated, enclosed cab through the snow-covered mining district. No riding skill, no cold hands. Grandparents, small kids, non-riders and mixed groups take this one, and it is the only winter option where four people share one machine.
A quick way to decide
Never ridden and want the views: the trail tour. Experienced and want powder: High Adventure. Dirt biker: snowbike. Group with kids, or anyone who would rather be warm: winter UTV. Mixed group: split it, all four leave from the same door at 141 East 9th Street.
