Your Arrival | Please arrive on time to avoid delaying other guests on your tour. We will get you registered for your tour and then you will meet your professional snowmobile guide and receive all the gear you need including helmet, boots and snowmobile suit. Most of our guests are first-timers so you will receive a comprehensive safety briefing and instruction on how to ride your snowmobile safely. |
Hitting The Trail | After some practice time at our base area your guide will lead you up a groomed snowmobile trail through old-growth forest and open slopes for a spectacular view of Panorama Mountain Resort and the surrounding peaks of the lovely Toby Creek Valley. |
Paradise | You will see the remains of an early 1900’s silver mine and warm-up beside the fire in our alpine cabin. Enjoy a mountain-sized cookie and a hot drink and then head out for some free play-time in Paradise Bowl. Your guide will introduce you to the play-area and offer riding and safety tips. You will then have an opportunity to free ride and trail basin explore on your snowmobile within the designated area under the watchful eye of your guide who will be there to assist you if required. |
Lunch | enjoy a sumptuous BBQ lunch at our cozy comfortable alpine cabin while you watch the ravens soar on the breeze. |
Return To Base | As we descend back to the base you will park your snowmobile beside the trail and follow your guide along a short pathway to the base of the frozen Smith Falls. This is a magical sight of a 100′ frozen pillar of blue ice amidst pillows of soft powder snow on a rock cliff. |
