Ready to take your snowmobile experience to the next level or simply want to guarantee an optimal day exploring the San Juan mountains? This ride is for you! The Silverton Backcountry Snowmobile Experience, which departs at 10am daily, will take you into unchartered territory. Your highly skilled adventure guide will lead you into and through multiple zones on a carefully planned and safely executed itinerary based on snow conditions, rider experience levels, and avalanche risk.
While all snowmobile rentals with Ice Pirate Adventures get riders exclusive outfitter access to a 55,000-acre area of the stunning San Juan mountains, this tour takes things even further—literally. You’ll go off-trail and cover terrain that only a handful of snowmobilers will see all winter. Plus, you'll get plenty of opportunities to customize your ride throughout the day. Want more time above the tree line? Have a few landmarks or vistas that are on your must-see list? This full-day tour is intended to deliver a truly unforgettable snowmobiling experience that caters to your specific desires.
All that riding is going to make you hungry. Because this ride takes you into the backcountry, you’ll be eating on the fly wherever it works to stop and take a rest. Your guide will pack plenty of heavy snacks (protein bars, meat and cheese, etc.) to make sure you’re energized from the start of your ride till when you pull back into base camp after a day spent experiencing the best that Colorado winters have to offer.
