Lofty Peaks Snowmobiling

The guide was great easy going. 4 hours was plenty. Trails were really wash board so couldn’t get going fast. Open fields at beginning and top fun. Would recommend, ask and get an experienced guide.

We had a good experience but our ride was cut short due to weather coming in. Also could have done without some of the gnarly accident stories we were told! Loved the open area they took us to!

Chad and Elliot were our guides and we had a larger group of guys on the trip, and this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The views were breathtaking, and Chad led us on a challenging ride (his words) after he determined we would take direction and were capable. Elliot was fantastic when my sled got stuck b/​c a few guys in front slowed down on a hill, and let me ride down the hill and try it again! We took a three hour ride, and 4 hours with a lunch would have been even better! Thanks guys! Well done!

Hands down one of the BEST experiences I’ve ever had. I came to do a 3-​hour snowmobiling tour with ~9 other friends.
I’ll tell you right now, as soon as we got back at the end of our evening every, single, one of us would have double-​downed and paid for a second go right then and there. If it weren’t for sundown, we would have gone again. The guides with Lofty Peaks were extremely friendly and helped us a great deal, operating the snowmobiles.
They had a very expansive and varied terrain path for us to take. Everything from a deep snow bowl to play around in, to amazing paths through frosted evergreen forests, even climbing up and down very steep mountain trails — ending with an AWESOME view of the sun going down past the mountains. It will probably be one of the best memories I’ll ever have. They gave you so much liberty operating the machines — we had lots of fun, had proper training on how to avoid injury and at the same time did NOT feel like our hands were being held through the whole experience. We had a ton of fun.
I’d absolutely do it again. The facilities were clean, had up-​to-​date equipment and safety was a focus while providing a fun experience.
If you’re looking for a guided snowmobile tour that IS NOT GUIDED this is your place. They will lead you through the forests, but it’s up to you follow off trail and go where you please! They give you lots of liberty to have fun, flip the machine and maybe fall off a few times… so much fun!

We had such an amazing time on our snowmobile tour today! Chad was an awesome guide. Went on the 2 hour tour, and I could have done 2 more. They let you ride around freely on breaks in open areas. We will definitely be back when we come back to Park City!

Great experience! Good views and a lot of time to play in fresh powder.

Nothing but a pleasant and wonderful experience snowmobiling at Lofty Peaks. It was my first time doing it, and I had a blast. A must do if you’re in Utah.
We did the 1-​hour tour, but it felt longer than that. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole way. At our halfway point, there was an open field where you can make as many laps as you want, as fast as you want. The tour guide takes you to the most incredible views and camera spots of the mountains.
Two of my friends during the ride accidentally tipped over on the snowmobile… But we’re all still alive with a story to tell. It also taught them a lesson of moving your body with every turn.
My key advice. Come in an hour early (like they tell you to do). You may have extra time put on your reservation, and it makes the process so much easier. If you arrive late (like the party in front of us), you lose your snowmobiling time!

Joe and Jacob were fantastic. My first time and what an absolute BLAST!!! I’d highly recommend Lofty Peaks! We went on the 3 hour tour and it was fantastic! Thank you!!!

These guys are great and an incredible experience. We had a group of seven and everyone had an amazing time. Don’t hesitate in booking and in the end you’ll be glad you did?

A great experience for first time snowmobilers! My family and I went and enjoyed ourselves. Great scenery (of course) and a fun segment where you really get to to play with the machine.
tips:
1. Go with Seth. He is awesome. Great in a jam– like a stuck snowmobile. He also gave my wife hand warmers as she was freezing
2. Dress warm and dry. You are out for a while and it gets cold fast
3. Be prepared to be in the snow– dry and warm hands and feet make a big deal (esp if you are from LA and don’t know your way in the snow like my wife)

We tried Lofty Peaks out for their ATV tours, opting for a 2 hour guided tour. In Utah, you have to be 16 and have a driving license, so we rented two dual ATVs, and took our kids on the back. A great way to see the Uintas. Don’t know if we would go back for ATVs, but might consider trying them out for snow mobiling.
POSITIVES:
— Our guide, Jacob, was fantastic. A very thoughtful and interesting young man who made sure we had a great time.
— Location is great, right next to the trails so you aren’t spending 15 minutes riding on roads to get to the trails (like you do with some of the other shops in the area).
NEGATIVES:
— Equipment was not in the best of shape. In fact, our guide’s ATV broke down in the first 30 minutes, and we had to wait around 30 minutes for a replacement to be ridden up to us. They didn’t count this against our time, but it was still a hassle. Owner needs to spend more on maintenance and updating his equipment!

After skiing in Salt Lake for four days, we were getting a little tired of the slopes and wanted to try something different. A quick Internet search led us to this place, which is a little bit east of Park City. It was pretty much the same drive as to the Park City ski areas (Canyons, Park city, etc.). After winding our way through a residential neighborhood in golf course, we found the sign-​up area. We had reservations for 1 PM, but since we’d arrived a little bit early they were happy to take us out early. Signing up was super easy, and they provided us with boots and helmet. We brought our own ski gloves and goggles, which I would recommend. Amazingly, they didn’t even charge us until afterwards.
The snowmobile ride itself was pretty amazing. We spent the first few minutes just getting to understand the machines. I had never been on a snowmobile before, but it was super easy to learn. It’s pretty much all throttle (as Daniel Tosh would describe a jet ski). Once we got comfortable, the guide took our group of three up a pretty steep road to some mountaintop meadows with some fresh untracked snow. Once in the meadows, the guide pretty much gave us free reign to cut loose and go as fast as we wanted. We pretty quickly learned that you could go really fast and were pretty much only limited by the speed at which your ass left the seat of the snowmobile. Riding through the deep untracked snow was super fun. After spending a few minutes in some of the meadows, the guide continued to take us around some of the more narrow trails. There were some tremendous views, and it was really a sight to behold.
Once we’d spent about an hour and a half on the mountain, we started to make our way back, which was also fun, but to be honest these machines are little bit more fun to take on slightly uphill and flat terrain. Overall, this was one of the most fun expenses of my trip. Additionally, the two-​hour ride only cost minimally more than a day worth of lift ticket and ski rentals. I think it was definitely worth it.

The folks here are absolutely wonderful… I will definitely be headed here again! The rentals for a ski suit, gloves, helmet, and boots is only $ 15 per person — seriously an unbeatable price! Also, the pickup from our hotel was on-​time and easy… each staff member we met (from the person who drove us to the staff at the office and even our guide) was top-​notch. Shannon and Kevin… you guys rock! All staff had great attitudes, were super helpful, happy to be there, knowledgeable, and kind. The trail experience was amazing — for our first time… easy, fun, & the perfect amount of time (2hours & 15 miles each way)…with more than enough time for us to «play» in the meadow on our own. Can’t wait to come back when it isn’t snowing so that we can go through WasatchStatePark on foot & see what its like then. Do anything with these folks and you won’t regret!

This is a must, trails are very amazing with a great view. staff is very friendly. they take you in top of the mountain where you can take some nice pictures. No need to go in a group, I went with my wife and we had a a blast. you won’t regret it!

After trying other snowmobile and AtV places in the Park City area, we hit upon Lofty Peaks a year ago on a friend’s recommendation. Incredibly well run and great machines. We first snowmobiles with the, a year ago, the ATVed last summer. Back this week to repeat the fantastic snowmobile experience with them. Hint: if you want to try the tubing at Soldier Hollow, Lofty Peaks combo package is a great idea. We’ve don’t it twice and everybody of all ages had a blast!

I would highly recommend Lofty Peaks for a fun time snowmobiling! From the moment we walked in, we felt we were in good hands. A definite plus is the fact that we could rent all of the gear we needed, including goggles and at a very reasonable price. The people were very informative about how to dress appropriately for the weather and we never got cold the entire 2 hour ride. Good instructions were given on how to operate the snowmobile, making us feel secure. We chose the guided ride and it was absolutely breathtaking! The guides were very helpful along the way, making sure we were all comfortable operating our machine and making sure we were ok and warm. Loved the heated handle bars! One thing I was concerned about was the fact that we would all be at different skill levels but it was just fine … Everyone could go at their own pace… One guide at the front and one at the rear. Very fun time and would definitely use then again!

When the snow melts Lofty Peaks also does ATV tours. Both my wife and I hadn’t ridden on ATVs since we were kids, but everything was explained very clearly and the staff was happy to answer any questions.
Our tour guides were amazing and super friendly and made sure that we didn’t do anything outside of our comfort level. We had one guide in front leading the way and another bringing up the rear to make sure no one fell too far behind. There are several different trails which vary in degree of difficulty, and our guides consulted with us before making an educated decision.
We stopped a few times to admire the scenery which honestly can’t be beat. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect either, with temperatures in the 70s and a cool breeze sweeping down from the mountains.
This was definitely one of the most fun and enjoyable things we did on our vacation, and I can’t wait to do it again. Based on our experience Lofty Peaks is a fantastic company with great employees.

After 3 days of skiing in Park City, we decided to take a break and go snowmobiling. We looked at several tourist brochures and their websites. We picked Lofty Peaks because they offered a snow tubing combo package (we were already planning to go tubing).
The staff is friendly and professional and our guide was amazing. He took us to some great places where we could «play» and a couple of amazing lookout points. The snowmobiles ran great and had heaters for both the hands and feet.
All-​in-​all we had an amazing time and would recommend this company to anyone. They are kid friendly and offer a military discount.
