Scenic Snowcat Tours, Snowcat Adventure Tours

Snowcat tours or snowcat adventure tours are fun for the whole gang. Snowcat tours are growing in popularity, and we understand why. Riding in a snowcat, especially these new high-tech, fully enclosed snowcats, outfitted with cabin comfort in mind, is just an amazing way to travel through Colorado’s winter wonderland.

You will be awestruck when peering through the large glass windows surrounding the passenger cabin, bringing you up close and personal with the alpine mountainscape. These amazing machines can wind through forests and access mountain vistas that are not easily reached.

Sit back and experience the snowcats’ amazing ability to climb up and down snow-covered mountainsides with ease. They float effortlessly through untracked snow and can maneuver through terrain and forested areas like nothing else. Riding in a snowcat with your closest friends is an amazing winter wonderland journey not soon to be forgotten.
