    Snowmobile Tour
    Alex A.

    The guys at Sunlight Snowmobile Tours are awesome. We are so happy we went with them. They treated us so well. I would highly recommend them. They are going to give you a great time, some scenic views and will keep you safe.

    All I can say is WOW!!!!! We had a group of (6) for a birthday and we're BLOWN away not only by the tour itself. All the guides including our personal guide Steve were just above and beyond. We tried T-Lazy and was nothing compared to this. We were in the back country, fresh powder, Mountain View's and the tour went on a lot longer. Satisfaction was 15 out of 10. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone and everyone looking to snowmobile!!! The value is great too!

    Our group of 6 joined 6 others and had the best time at Sunlight! We did the adventure package and we're not disappointed! The trails, snowmobiles, and tour guide (Ty!) were phenomenal. Ty explained all aspects of the gear and ride that made our entire group feel at ease (majority of us were first timers). Everyone was beaming and hooting the whole 2.5 hours. The entire group bonded very quickly primarily due to Ty's extensive knowledge and hilarious personality. Everyone was thankful for Steve's help walking us through the beginning as well! Will absolutely be back.

    Ready to ride!

    This tour was awesome! Our tour guide was energetic and fun. He knew all the hot spots to stop at so that we could experience amazing Mountain views. We got some great photos. From then on we had an adrenaline rush. Full speed through the mountains. We even caught some snow during our tour which was amazing, being that I am from sunny Florida! Overall this was a great experience and I would love to do it again.

    Made the 2 hour trip from Silverthorne to Sunlight to go snowmobiling this spring break and it was well worth it. Ty and Bob were great guides and are very thorough in helping you understand the sleds and what to do/not do. They allow you to go at your own pace with stops planned to let everyone catch up, take pictures and enjoy the beauty around you. Last year we had did one closer to Summit County, which was ok, allowed for more training rides, but also required a 20 min bus ride to the sleds. A few years back I had gone one at Sunlight and wanted to take the family back to see it. The drive on 70 West is very scenic, but we had some anxiety as there was no snow, zero. Not on the way to Glenwood, in Glenwood, and half way up Sunlight Mountain was dry. Fearing the worst, we pushed on, finally seeing some snow as we pulled in. Their amenities are bare to say the least. But what it might lack in the resort style facilities it makes up with first class snowmobiles and equipment. It's a short walk from the lodge to the snowmobiles where the snow started. After a thorough demo of how to operate them, we were off into a snowy winter wonderland, couldn't have been more picturesque. We went with two snowmobiles, with our 9 year old and 11 year old riding behind us. Worked out great. Remember to tip your guides, they work hard!

    Awesome tour. AJ was great! Highly recommend

    Awesome time. Did the adventure tour. It was 2 1/2 long and so much fun. Beautiful scenery and the snowmobiles are very easy to use. I've never been on one and I picked it up very easy. AJ was our tour guide and he was a great tour guide. Highly recommended

    our daughter got married in Colorado and my husband and I decided to take that opportunity to spend a few extra days and do something fun for ourselves. We found sunlight snowmobile tours on the web. And booked our trip with Ty. He was an amazing guide. Make sure we new all the safety things we needed to know. he was always looking out for us making sure everybody was comfortable with the ride. He stopped at points of interest showing us show snowshoe hare tracks. Explained where we were and what mountains we were looking at so we could get an idea of our bearings. He was full of stories and just a lot of fun. I would highly recommend booking your next snowmobile tour with Sunlight snowmobile tours. Don't have any winter gear? No worries. Ty and his gang have a whole room full of ski pants, boots, helmets, and gloves. They can get you outfitted in no time. We add top-of-the-line machines to ride on. Including heated hand grippers. Best ride of my life! I will never forget it!

    Did the Adventure Ride w/ my hubby & 3 daughters and couldn't have had a better time. The guys that run the Tours are extremely helpful, friendly & most importantly extremely knowledgeable. Their snowmobiles are late models also, very nice. The entire tour takes place inside the White River National Forest. The trails are beautiful. Halfway thru the tour, the entire group gets to free ride in a huge, beautiful meadow for about 20 minutes. This was my 8-yr old's (and mommy's!) favorite part of the tour. The guide also stops at several different 'photo op' areas with the most gorgeous views of Mt. Sopris and the surrounding mountains & give you plenty of time to take pics. Overall, this is a great company w/ amazing employees who want to make sure every single person on their tour has an unforgettable time.

    Stopped for a great view where three county's meet.

    The snowmobile charge my card before if i book over the phone, can anyone tell?

    I don't think they process the card until the day of your adventure. I believe it is just used to hold your spot. You can call Sunlight to confirm.

    What is the value for 2 adults and 1 child? are there snowmobiles with seats for 3? what phone number do I call directly on the snowmobile?

    I don't remember seeing a snowmobile with three seats. I believe the rear passengers would each need a set of handles to hold on to. You may need to rent two sleds. They are fun to drive so I'm sure both adults would have fun driving anyway. You can…

    We went mid-February for a ski weekend with friends; unfortunately the snow was pretty abysmal…read more(very low snow base) but the resort itself was fun! We got the Monarch pass this year, which allows us three days at Sunlight. The mountain is pretty small, only 3 lifts I think, but it's a nice small-town family vibe. The prices are great too - $99 for weekend lift pass and something like $49 for weekday? Some of the runs were very skied out though and we had to be cautious of rocks/trees popping out - they did a good job with caution signs to alert for obstacles on the trails. There was a small lodge at the base with food and drinks which was very affordable as ski resorts go - $5 fry basket and $8 beers on draft! Would do another weekend here.

    Visited with family who are late beginner to early intermediate skiers…read more First, a description of the resort. This is a small resort only 3 lifts. We arrived on a big snow day, and there were lines at the lifts. However, I have been to more crowded resorts in California where I live, so I thought the lines were ok. They moved fast but the lifts stopped often because of people falling off at the start or end. And about the lift, they move fast at the start and end. So be ready. They can be challenging for beginners. Hold on tight because they do swing you around quite violently at the start and I almost slipped off because there was a sheet of ice on the first lift we took and the swinging was quite vigorous. I disliked them a lot. The snow was great. There aren't that many green runs but the greens were fun with varied terrain, which were a good challenge. We did one of the blue runs which was pretty challenging for my party. The green runs had really great views especially those from the top of the mountain. We didn't have lessons but we saw many people lined up for lessons. We stayed for 2 days. But if we had stayed for 3 we might have gotten bored due to the limited number of green runs. Only one restaurant, so bring your own food if you don't want to wait to order, then wait for your food. There are lockers available which you rent via a kiosk. There's a QR code but it doesn't work. They are quite expensive: $10 for a small one that fits one backpack and $15 for a large on that fits 2 backpacks. We fit 5 winter/hiking boots in them, with space to spare for water bottles, sweaters, beanies etc. We saw lots of folks leave their stuff under benches, along the walls too. I think the restroom situation was fine as well. Didn't have to wait that long for restrooms. In fact, most of the time I didn't have to wait. There is a restroom right at the top of the mountain too. If you want skis, you can rent them at the resort, or at their shop in downtown Glenwood Springs. We opted to rent from the shop in downtown. There will be a separate review on the ski rental from their shop. Second, about getting there. You can drive. Or, you can take the shuttle which leaves from selected hotels in the area. As well as from the downtown Sunlight Ski and Bike Shop location at 8:30 and they will do more runs if there are more people needing it. Pick up is at 2:30 and 4:30 but they will add another one at 3:30 if it is a busy day. There's space for your skis and boots and poles etc. The shuttle drivers are amazing. They dropped us off at our hotel even though it's not "on the scheduled list". But they can pretty much pick you up and drop you off anywhere in and around Glenwood Springs. For this season they are free but they are working to get a system which you use your ski tickets to tap in from. Forget about Uber/Lyft. They don't exist here. And the only other taxi operator is apparently very expensive. Much better way to get up the mountain than driving after a snowstorm. We saw a car flipped over on the way up... If you do drive, there is a shuttle that takes people to the lower parking lot so you don't have to trek down. We had a great time at Sunlight Mountain. It may not have the most modern amenities nor the best runs, but the people were really friendly and helpful and it's not a complicated resort. The other plus is the ski shuttle which really made it much more convenient to get around with our skis. While I note that skiing is an expensive activity, Sunlight Mountain has really good pricing. Even better than my local California resorts and the snow is better. But due to the limited number of green runs and older ski lifts, I took one star off.

Our family of four and my daughter's family of four shared a house for rent for a week less than a mile from the lodge. Three went snowboarding all day, the first day. Lines were short, prices reasonable and down right cheap when I compared them to other CO ski resorts such as Vail and Telluride, each a couple hrs away. Staff was very friendly and always offering what ever help you needed. You would expect this level at any resort of any kind and Powderhorn's staff met all expectations. Skiing with lessons on another day was another huge success. No need to go to the top of mountain to ski or snowboard. One lift goes half way up with plenty of choices for medium to beginner hills. After setting you up and teaching some tips you are free to ski while the instructors check in with you periodically. Then for those of us that are completely inept, they offer tubing. Tubing is sledding on a specially designed inner tube on well maintained bobsled track of sorts. It was fast and fun. We all did this on three different days. $12 for adults, $10 for kids for a two hour session. AND they have a lift for that too! Simply hook your tube's pull rope on the pipe and ride your tube to the top! Over all the place did not seem crowded. Only on one day were the 35 tubes all in use. The Children's Learning Center only had 16 kids there the day we hired our instructor. The Sunset Grille upstairs was reasonably priced for being remote. Nearest place to eat anything was eight miles away in the town of Mesa. I would come back here next year to do any snow related activities in CO.

I have been skiing my whole life and have had Crested Butte on my list to ski for some time. I am glad that I finally made my way over here to ski their slopes. Crested Butte Mountain Resort is owned and operated by Vail Resorts. My buddy and I have Epic Passes and chose to ski here this past winter. This resort is geared toward intermediate to expert skiers as there are lots of blue and black runs. Overall, we had good snow and a fun weekend. We started our day off by taking Red Lady Express Lift from Base Area. We spent a lot of our time hitting the intermediate runs off of Paradise Express Lift. We eventually hit some black runs off of Silver Queen Express Lift. We didn't do it, but Rambo run is the steepest tree-defined ski trail in North America with a 55-degree pitch. That run looks insane. Crested Butte Mountain Resort opened in 1960. We stayed in town near the base of the resort and had a lot of fun. We were able to walk to the lift from our hotel. Crested Butte is a former coal mining town that is a popular tourist destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Mount Crested Butte is in the heart of the Elk Mountains and sits over 9,000 feet above sea level. The town is named after its iconic 12,168-foot mountain peak. You can see the peak while you ski from almost anywhere on the mountain.

Approximately 40% of skiing trails are marked as Double Black Diamond Extreme, so if you're looking for the most challenging terrain, then this is the place for you! But even if you're not an "advanced expert," then there are still plenty of runs that you can take it easy on... or that will push you to keep on learning and getting better! Of all the Vail Resorts, I feel like the Crested Butte team was the friendliest and most welcoming. Definitely try to plan your trip to Crested Butte for when they're getting some fresh powder, as most of the runs will be even more enjoyable! *****FIVE STARS*****
