About our tours

Our backcountry tour is perfect for those who crave a physical challenge, whether you're a total novice or a seasoned pro searching for the best terrain and untouched powder the Bighorns have to offer. As guides, our goal is to help you leave a better rider than when you arrived. These tours are more physically demanding than our scenic trail rides, but we can always adjust the pace to match your group's needs.

Tours kick off at 9 AM, with the goal of returning to the truck an hour before sunset—or whenever the first rider taps out. A typical day covers 30 to 60 miles, depending on snow conditions (and trust us, that’s a lot of mountain miles). We encourage you to push your limits and try new things within your comfort zone. And don’t worry about getting stuck—if you’re not getting stuck, you’re not riding hard enough!

No matter the snow conditions, we ride. The Bighorns offer a diverse range of terrain, from easy-rolling hills to steep, technical canyons, making it perfect for all skill levels. Expect plenty of meadow mashing and wide-open alpine-style spaces—but don’t let your guard down, because the Bighorns also have some seriously steep and technical terrain waiting to challenge you.

Our guides study weather patterns, snow depths, and scout relentlessly to find untracked snow. However, this is federally protected public land, meaning untouched snow is never a guarantee.

Determining Your Skill Level

We take riders of all skill levels out. But if you’re looking for a group to ride with, we might put you into a group of similar skill levels. When you book, you will be asked what your skill level is. This allows our guides to plan their routes ahead of time. Here’s a guide:

  • Beginner - No snowmobiling experience. Beginners usually spend the whole day learning and usually don’t get too far from the trail. Usually clients from warm weather climates fall in this category.

  • Intermediate - Some snowmobiling experience. May have no issues on the trail, but need to practice some basic backcountry skills like sidehilling. Usually clients who ride extensively in the east fall in this category if it’s their first time mountain riding.

  • Experienced - Usually have no issues going wherever. Can hold a sidehill, counter-steer, etc. Not too comfortable in trees yet.

  • Advanced - Have no issues sidehilling or mashing meadows. Want to play in steep technical trees. Can get themselves unstuck most of the time. Might need practice with reentries and hop-overs.

  • Pro - Same level as our guides. Can do reentries, hop-overs, and can sidehill in steep technical trees.

  • Elite - You are the next prodigy. The 1% of the 1%. Caleb Kesterke level.
