How to choose your next snowmobiling adventure?

Unlocking unique adventures, you won't find anywhere else is our motto. We have something for everyone, whether you are looking to go at a slower pace to see breathtaking views or if you are looking to shred some snow at a faster rate. But we get it. Choosing an adventure can be overwhelming, especially if it is your first time, and let us make it a bit simpler.

Here are 3 key elements to consider when trying to choose a snowmobiling experience that best fits your preferences:

Backyard adventure VS weekend getaway

The first thing you need to ask yourself is: Are you ready to jump in the car, blast your favourite Lady Gaga song and make this a weekend getaway? OR Are you looking for a quick Saturday activity with your friend close to home? We know that not everyone is looking for the same experience and thrill, but with 90+ adventures to our offering, we certainly have something for you to enjoy. We have a few outfitters that offer more than just the experience; they also provide to lodge (see below the list).

There is nothing better than sipping nice hot cocoa by the fire in your private cabin after a full day of snowmobiling in fresh powder. If you want to make this a weekend trip, choose from the list below. These are all turnkey solutions for a weekend getaway. On the other hand, if you are looking for an experience close to home, we recommend you choose based on our interactive map. This will allow you to find adventures that fit your weekend plans.

Outfitters that offer lodging :

• Snowmobile in Idaho with Thunder Mountain Lodge 
• Snowmobile Tour in Idaho with Smiley Creek 
• Snowmobile Tour in Utah with Bear River Lodge / TRAX 
• Snowmobile in Utah with Beaver Creek Lodge

Unlocking an adventure that fits your level of comfort and skill

The majority of the adventures featured on Uncharted Society, with a few exceptions, cater to all levels of riders, whether you are a proficient rider or you have never even seen a snowmobile before. Our certified BRP outfitters welcome newcomers and will take the time to walk you through the basics and get you comfortably up to speed. We recently had a journalist, Mary Murphy, from Gear Junky media outlet do a snowmobile experience at an Uncharted Society outfitter. She perfectly encapsulated a first-timer's experience: "Your first-time snowmobiling will likely feel odd compared to other sports. But once you know how to sit, how to balance and shift your weight, and how to operate the machine, it's pretty easy." We recommend you as the outfitter the level of difficulty of the experience before you book. That said, if your riding partner still does not feel as comfortable as you drive one of these cool-looking machines, they can sit right behind you and enjoy the scenery while you live your fantasy of going full throttle on some fresh powder. Many of our outfitters offer the option to ride in tandem.

Options of riding in tandem :

• Snowmobile Adventures, Colorado
• Bear River Lodge / TRAX, Utah
• Cascade Lake Adventures, Oregon

‘To Guide or not to Guide’

The last key element to consider is, as Murphy from GearJunkie puts it, ‘To Guide or not to guide.’ Same as riding in tandem, many of the outfitters presented on our website offer guided experiences. Guides bring a source of knowledge about the area and nature, they get you to hidden gems, and most importantly, they will give you tips and tricks to become a better rider regardless of your experience level. This does change the whole powersport experience.
