“Unforgettable Snowmobile Adventure!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taking a snowmobile tour with Nova Guides was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! From start to finish, everything was seamless. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional—they made sure we were comfortable and ready to ride. The snowmobiles were in perfect condition, and the trails were breathtaking. We climbed to elevations over 12,000 feet with stunning panoramic views of the Rockies that were truly postcard-worthy. Our guide was amazing—super knowledgeable, fun, and patient with the beginners in our group while still letting the more experienced riders enjoy the thrill. I also loved how the tour included a little bit of history about Camp Hale, which added an extra layer of appreciation for the area. They provided all the gear we needed, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. If you’re looking for adventure, gorgeous scenery, and a top-notch team to make it all happen, Nova Guides is the way to go. I’m already planning to come back for another ride next winter!
Such an amazing experience! My partner and I have been snowmobiling a few times in Washington and this one was the best experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made us feel safe while giving us a really fun tour. The grounds are so beautiful. We stayed in vail and booked the PM half day and it was such a great day. Left the hotel right before noon and made it back around 6.
Our ATV guide Shane was superb! He explained everything beforehand and was very careful with us. During the stops, he described the mountain ranges and areas so we could learn more about our surroundings. He was fun, friendly, and professional. Definitely an asset to your company.
We had the best time on our 4-hour, Side by Side, self-guided tour! We were greeted by a friendly and helpful lady (unfortunately I did not catch her name) and she got us checked in quickly and fitted us with our helmets and goggles. We received a safety briefing from Nico and he gave us detailed information on the trails, which ones we could drive on and what type of trail we could expect. Some are smooth and easy and others are much rougher and rockier. My husband and I both said it was worth every penny. The views are stunning and we saw lots of deer, marmots and chipmunks. We recommend going in the morning when the animals are more active. The history of Camp Hale is interesting too. Imagining the training that the 10th Mountain Division went through while driving in their "shadows" was exciting to think about. We HIGHLY recommend the Nova Guides tour as it was one of the highlights of our entire trip.
What a wonderful experience. One warning: don't settle for two hours - go for four hours - you won't regret it. We rented the side-by-side for two hours, took a picnic lunch with us, headed to the top of the mountain, sat on the log rail and ate at the top of the world. I got to drive the entire time and wow, what fun! Speed up a little bit and enjoy the ride. I kept steering into the divots to get more excitement. What a rush! Don't skimp, don't go too slow, enjoy the ride, the scenery, and the fun. Wish we had the time to go back the next day to cover some of the trails we missed!
My wife and I had a fabulous time riding snowmobile we rented from Nova Guides! From the onset, the reservation agent provided a wealth of information regarding the snowmobiles and mountains we would be riding and made suggestions to allow us an opportunity to have a great experience. The tutorial of the snowmobile provided by the instructor was helpful as was the map to navigate the mountain. All the staff were very friendly. Needless to say, we had a wonderful time on the unguided four hour excursion. The scenery was amazing! Breathtaking! We look forward to returning and highly recommend Nova Guides snowmobile rentals!
AMAZING TIME! We did the 4 hour unaccompanied snowmobiling and it was perfect!! We were able to go at our own pace and revisit trails that had awesome views. My wife and I had a two person sled and loved the heated handle grips and the seats were super comfortable. We highly recommended this activity and this company for your next adventure!
The rental team was very helpful. The trails in good shape. Overall a very nice time on ATVs.
