The most FUN in mammoth back country! 1st time in mammoth with a knee injury, so couldn't go skiing this trip. Decided to give snowmobiling a shot. Called at 8am on sat to reserve 11am slot, they were fully booked by the time we arrived! Adam was an awesome tour guide!! David Bowie passed away the next day, so I cut the footage we shot along the way to "Let's Dance." We'll be back! https://vimeo.com/151603560 read more

Awesome experience! Four of us came from the East Coast and had a great time on our guided tour with Kevin (K2?)! Great trails and amazing views. Highly recommended. read more

Going to be short with this review. A lot of fun! I felt like I was in that movie inception riding around read more

We would have loved to do a tour with this group but were hindered by poor communication from the company. We'd called ahead on two separate occasions inquiring about the three-hour tour they offered and whether we could make reservations for it. Both times we were assured that reservations would not be necessary and they mentioned nothing about availability issues. The day comes for us to do the tour and we arrive on Monday morning about an hour and a half before the tour we wanted. From there we are then told that (1) the three-hour tour isn't even offered until February and (2) the next tour is fully booked and we should have made reservations. So, all in all a waste of time for us thanks to the poor information we received from the company. read more

Best part of our Mammoth trip. Truly a bucket list item crossed off our list. The snow, the guide the 1.5 hour adventure through thick forest was the perfect end to a wonderful trip. The weather with the sun out was spectacular. read more

I was rather hesitant to do this at first and wasn't sure how much I would enjoy it. I was also a bit scared of driving a snowmobile. Having finished the tour I couldn't recommend this enough. Very professional service put me at ease and the tour is beautiful. Not too fast and not too slow and beautiful scenery. Five stars for sure. read more

So much fun! So glad I chose this company! Booked it in Wollys tubbing and even offered me a discount. Everyone was so friendly and our tour guide was amazing. Definitely coming back next year to Check our other trails. Don't forget to tip your guide! read more

I highly recommend this company. We took two families of 4 today and had a great time. Our tour guide Kevin, and the rest of the staff went above and beyond. We couldn't have had a better time! read more

LOVED it! Never thought I would go snowmobiling but what an extraordinary experience. If you are interested in going places you may never ever be able to ...THIS is for you. Stunning back country views and an exciting way to see it. Very helpful guide who taught us first timers how and off we went into a winter wonderland! I highly recommend it and I will be back! read more

SUCH an amazing first experience with Snowmobile Adventures! This was our first time using a snowmobile and the trail was beautifully incredible. Our tour guide was awesome and provided such an amazing experienced. He excelled incredibly in making sure that we were all happy and comfortable. Always made sure everyone was together and didn't let anyone get left behind. Definitely would recommend and would come back again that's for sure!! Also hot chocolate is provided at the end. The woman inside was also very helpful and courteous of everyone's needs. 10/10! read more

Super fun! Great staff! I can't wait to do it again! The views were breath taking and the day we went was absolutely gorgeous perfect weather. Thank you Snowmobile Adventures for such a wonderful experience. read more

Very easy to check in, they made sure we watched and understood the instructions. Set us up with helmets and goggles and hot chocolate at the the end. Scott was on the ball, made sure we were all safe and having a great time. Will do it again for sure, and bring tio money, they all work hard for us to enjoy. read more

Jenn and the rest of the crew were very professional and made this a memorable first experience for our family.

This was me and my family's first time snowmobiling and it was a blast! Kevin is the man! He was really safe and really kind and clear about everything! We did a practice lap and then went into the forest and went through nice turns, hills, and then stopped at this one open spot where we did a bunch of laps on our own and took pictures. We also went to a picnic area to stop and take pictures while it was snowing, and it was beautiful! It was about 2 hours and it was so fun! They gave us hot chocolate after as well! Definitely worth the money! Very safe and fun! Thank you guys! read more

The gentlemen running this place brought me to tears: in the best way! My husband and I were excited to celebrate our first Married Christmas together so I had planned a trip to Mammoth to give my Florida boy his first white Christmas. I had made reservations here for the last ride of the day to allow us time to buy snow tires and weather the blizzard. I was told on the phone to arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork (this was a message from a call center on behalf of the mountain's different recreation companies, NOT from Snowmobile Adventures itself).Even though, I thought I had generously allotted an ADDITIONAL 30 minutes to our trek, we ended up getting there about 5-10 minutes past the hour, so our group had left. I was devastated because I had already paid in full and I knew my husband would have loved the experience. One of their guides (who wasn't scheduled to be working) was there and SO generously offered to take us on a private guided tour. We couldn't believe it. The trip was amazing, the views gorgeous, and we could not be more grateful. NOT encouraging anyone to show up late, because we were extremely lucky the additional guide was even there, not to mention willing to take us when we'd been late. Main points: 1. This company and its employees are absolutely lovely and deserve your business 2. Allow LOTS of time to get from the entrance of Mammoth Village up the road, especially in inclement weather (we spent 30 minutes going 4 miles, although there was much more snow than they said is normal) 3. Plan to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled time because after paperwork you have to get an orientation on the vehicles that starts about 10 minutes before your appointment. 4. Dress super duper warmly, enjoy the beauty (and the hot chocolate) and BRING CASH to tip your amazing guide!! read more

Return visitor. Always a great time. Scotty is the guy to ask for. For a change of pace try the snowmobiles.

Awesome experience! We had never been on a Sno-Mo before so the instructor Scotty gave us a great rundown on the machine, and gave safety instructions before the tour started. The views are surreal, and something you can't just get from your car! I highly recommend this tour. I lived in Mammoth for a while, and never got to see the beauty I saw on this tour. I'm super stoked, and will for sure tell all my friends to do the Snowmobile's in Mammoth. Thanks Kevin and Scotty for the awesome thrill-adventure! read more

Kevin took my kids and friend in wonderful tour 2/17. He is amazing & boys wanted to thank him for expertise in showing them snowmobile safety & mammoth mountain. He is great... Keeper read more

Snowmobiling was an amazing experience. It was my first time going so I wasn't sure what to expect (snowmobiling actually kind of felt like jetskiing.) I didn't realize how much fun it could be! I was a little hesitant that we were required to go with a guide though because I thought it would be slow and boring but I was completely wrong! Even though we had to ride in a long trail of 9 snowmobiles, I was still able to hit 40mph or more! Every so often we would slow down though but it's understandable since we were going with a large group. Our guide made sure every 10 mins that everyone was doing ok and seeing if anyone needed to be rearranged in line in case the snowmobile in front was going too slow for you...this was the only downfall that you're somewhat restricted in how fast you go through the trails. BUT, our guide made up for the slowness! She gave us "free time" to test the power of the snowmobile in the middle of our tour. She took us to open terrain where we were able to freely ride around. I was even able to hit up to 50-60mph. You should try speeding up when there's bumps and hills because it'll really make you jump off your seat :) Or in my bf's case, he was going so fast over the hills that his snowmobile actually caught some air time! The trails you're taken on are pretty cool too....you get the experience of riding in the woods type of feel. The views are spectacular too...very breathtaking when you're at the top of the mtn! The whole experience was really great. If this is your first time, I would say to do the singles! I'm glad I was driving the entire time. If I were to go again, I'd still do singles...I don't wanna share my drive time with anyone else! It's too much fun :P Since I'm somewhat familiar with snowmobiling, I wouldn't mind returning here and definitely doing the self-guided tour now. (BTW, you can't do the self-guided tour here unless you've been on their guided tour at least once..they want you to be familiar with the trails before you head out on your own). The people are very friendly and helpful and the trails are fabulous! read more

the snowmobile trailer is behind the Yodler, near the Main lodge. i must say this was the FUNNEST thing we did at mammoth. i reserved two doubles -- for the hubby, me, and two kiddos. i figured my parents were too old to ride. my 71YO father INSISTED on joining us at the very last minute, and the staff was super accommodating. since it was friday and the price for a single was the same as a double, i forced my mother to come along for the ride. it was the first snowmobiling experience for 5 out of 6 of us. it was SOOOOOO fun and worth every penny. (total came to $408) basically your group rides to an area called crater flats (i think), where you can go crazy and drive around like maniacs. then you ride back to base. i lost all track of time during this experience, but i would guess about 45 minutes to get to crater flats, maybe 15-20 minutes of free play, and 25 minutes to get back?? thanks to June Y.'s review, i made sure to be next-to-last, and the hubbs was the caboose. we fell back, caught up, and had a great time. my only complaint would be that our guide didn't allot enough time for pictures. he told us he'd let us know when to take them, but that basically meant he would take A PHOTO with our camera for us. i wanted to have a shot with just the kids, just me and my husband, the girls in one group, the boys in another, grandparents with the grandkids.... (you get the picture). i wanted pictures of every combination possible. i would have gladly used our "own time" at crater flats and done this myself, had i known that was the time to do it. :( if you're like me and want to go camera crazy, my advice would be to get all your pictures taken early. (but don't miss out on the free play either!) read more

Best trip EVER!!! Andrew was an incredible tour guide. Our whole family had SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!! Thank you Andrew!!!

What an experience it was! This was our first time ever riding a Snowmobile. Arrive at least 30 minutes in advance so that you can fill the paperworks, see the orientation video and helmet fitting. They offer a quick lap on the snowmobile before the tour starts, so that we get the hang of the vehicle. Since we were first timers, it took us a few minutes to get used to it. Our guide was very patient and friendly during the entire time. He was encouraging and would check on us to see if we were comfortable and keeping up with the group. The view at the summit as well as the ride to it was awesome! I would definitely recommend them. read more

I thought I try something new for a change and go light on my legs. So I decided to go on a snowmobile ride. Based on these reviews from fellow Yelper's it seems like they have never been on a snowmobile before and the experience "was totally awesome." Well I hate to say this, the Mammoth Snowmobile adventure is another rip off extension of Mammoth Mountain inc. The ride was short and it really never got to be anywhere exciting. I should have just rented a snowmobile and gone off on my own. At least the staff was nice. read more

Had a blast all the workers did a great job , shoutout to Scotty and the crew for killing it ! Highly recommend it !

So disappointing! The adventure tour is advertised as taking you to an open play area, and 1.5 hours of ride time. We started 20 minutes late and ended 5 minutes early with no open play area, or fields to have fun. We went 20 mph max! It was boring, lame, and a waste of money. What a joke!!!! read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY! Horrible tour with rude staff! 1.5 tour time? More like 45 minutes cruising at a whopping 15 MPH. As far as the play area goes its pretty much non existent read more

Amazing service. Reservation process was smooth over the phone and I even made a couple of changes before our scheduled day. The adventure tour was amazing and our guide was very professional and kept things going smoothly. The snowmobiles are very well kept and work great! The hot chocolate at the end was a great way to end an excellent tour. Will be coming back for sure. read more

It was our last day at Mammoth and my girlfriend had no luck signing up for any activities. Luckily, right before my own Snowboarding lesson the day before, I was able to sign us up for the guided snowmobile tour for the following day. It was Awesome! My girlfriend loved it and riding among so many trees to then come upon a field of pure white was eye opening. We were able to ride around this huge snow field bringing our snowmobile up to 30mph and it was so much fun! The hour and a half tour just flew by and I definitely recommend it! Our guide, Kevin was a great guy and always made sure we were safe and accounted for. read more

Stoke level is real! Took my girlfriend out on a Snowmo adventure yesterday for our anniversary and we had an awesome time. Our guides Tyler and Buck took our group way back on the trails and even to the Minaret Vista to catch the sunset! From beginning to end it was a lot of fun, safe environment, and perfect for any thrill seeker. Thank you to the entire snowmo team, cant wait to go again! read more

Highlight of our Mammoth Trip! This was an awesome way to explore the mountain and felt like we were crossing something off the bucket list. Andrew was an awesome guide- easy going and funny but very aware of everyone's capabilities. Our family will be back again! read more

Went with my family during the snow storm earlier this winter. The weather conditions were pretty crazy so we weren't able to do a 3 hour ride nor was there an option for free riding that day but I was nevertheless impressed with the ride and the staff was very helpful. The reviews saying that the ride is boring and there was no speed have only themselves to blame. Even with the the guided tour, I was able to get the snowmobile to about 50mph on a number of straight sections. The 1.5 hour tour actually seemed much longer than it was and everyone in my family had a great time. read more

Great time!! Took a casual drive, got the feel for things, then got to play around for a bit before heading to Minaret Peak - amazing views!!! Was a little hesitant at first, based on price and time but was more than pleased!! The staff is awesome as well! read more

Had a great experience with the family , amazing guides and great riding. They teach you everything you need to know . Easy for beginners to learn with the way they explain everything . Would recommend to everyone 10/10 . Planning another trip next season read more

My wife, 13 year old son and 11 year old daughter rented 2 snowmobiles for 1-1/2 hours but we felt it would have been best for 3 hours. Our tour guide was great as he kept the pace throughout the ride (group of 8 snowmobiles). The heated grips really helped to keep our hands warm. I would absolutely recommend. Although the kids wanted to snowboard/ski most of the trip they welcomed the change of pace and thought it was a great adventure. read more

First timer- very professional and sweet staff! The scenary is beautiful and the tour speed was perfect (they start you off slower but eventually pick up the pace once the whole group is comfortable!) I've been coming to Mammoth for 10+ years now and am so happy I finally found this! Merry Christmas and thank you! read more

Amazing experience. First time. We will be back again for sure. Due to rough snow conditions that day, our tour guide skipped the freestyle portion of the trip. But the fresh powder and snow fall made for an unforgettable ride. Simply gorgeous! read more

Took a 3 hour tour with Snowmobile Adventures and had the time of our lives! Our guide Keeshika (Sorry if I spelt that wrong) was amazing! Made sure we all were comfortable on our snowmobiles and took us on a truly wonderful tour! Thank you to the entire staff! Hoping to come here again! read more

This was so much fun! It was so beautiful and fun. Our guide was great, he had a good pace and kept making sure we were all still following. We got some amazing pictures. I definitely want to snowmobile again next time I'm here! read more

Our experience for Mammoth Snowmobiling was amazing! Scotty and Tim (our tour leaders) were so friendly, attentive and helpful. They both went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and having a great time. Definitely would recommend this tour company from beginners to experts. They have something for everyone. Very fun! read more

First time snowmobiling and will not be my last. We had a group of 15 people people, seven of them were children from 5-11 years and we all had a blast! Kevin, our tour guide was amazing. He gave us a lesson on how to operate the snowmobile. After a trial run, we all headed to the beautiful picturesque scenery of Mammoth's white wooded forests and meadows. Riding freely in the open area was exhilarating! Kevin took great care of us; he continuously checked on us and was so fun, kind, and full of energy. When he learned that my little one was getting cold, he pulled out a pack of hand warmers, activated them and placed them in her gloves to keep her warm. This came without any hesitation whatsoever. She hanged on to those hand warmers closely the rest of the day saying, "Kevin game them to me." Thank you Kevin and the rest of the Snowmobile Adventures team for an experience of a lifetime. We all raved about how fun it was and how awesome Kevin was. read more
