Local Look: Snowmobiling Companies

Get Out With Our Local Snowmobiling Outfitters & Guides 

Winter Park Resort was voted the best ski resort in North America by USA Today readers, so it’s easy to simply picture a “ski town” when you think of our little mountain community. But the opportunities to play in the snow extend well beyond skiing and snowboarding. The expansive national forests, miles of trails, and untouched snowy meadows are full of powder stashes that offer snowmobiling fun for all ability levels. The thrill of snowmobiling is real–it’s hard to stop smiling when ripping through a blank canvas of untracked snow or navigating through a forest trail. Already hooked? Haven’t tried it yet? Would love to join a tour with an experienced guide? Or prefer to rent and head out on your…

Spring Break: The Best of Both Worlds

Take advantage of all That Makes Grand County "Grand" in Spring

For most, leaf buds on trees, early-blooming flowers, chirping birds and rain showers mark the beginning of the spring season. Here in Grand County, as the sun stays up longer and the temperatures go up, the ground is still covered in snow. We get to enjoy all that winter has to offer, just wearing a few less layers! 

A 45 degree spring day means it’s time to crack the windows in the car and, for some, break out the shorts that have been hibernating since October. As soon as it hits 55 degrees, many people welcome the risk of stepping in a puddle of snowmelt in exchange for the freedom that comes from slipping on a pair of sandals.
