About this Adventure

Short on time but big on fun? The Molas Lake Mining Cabin Trail is the perfect introduction to snowmobiling in the San Juan Mountains and a great way to spend a winter afternoon. Tours depart daily at 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM from the Ice Pirates base camp at the Molas Lake Trailhead, just minutes from Silverton on Highway 550.

After a safety briefing and a hands-on riding lesson, your adventure guide leads the way through snowy meadows and quiet forest inside our 55,000-acre riding area, a stretch of the San Juans open only to Ice Pirates riders and private snowmobile owners. No crowded trails here. You’ll pass by frozen Molas Lake, ringed by towering San Juan peaks, and stop at a historic mining cabin dating back to the 1870s while your guide shares stories from Silverton’s mining days.

This tour works for every age and skill level, so it’s a favorite with beginners, younger riders, families, first dates, and team-building groups. Bring your camera: our guides know all the best photo spots and are happy to snap the shot for your social media bragging rights.
