- The Black Tusk - The Black Tusk is notable for its dramatic, jagged silhouette. The peak is distinguished by its dark, nearly black volcanic rock, which starkly contrasts with the surrounding landscape. The summit often resembles a rugged spire, enhancing its impressive and somewhat mysterious appearance.
- Whistler Blackcomb - Observing the backside of Whistler Blackcomb from Brandywine Mountain offers a unique and breathtaking view. Brandywine Mountain, located to the south of the Whistler Blackcomb resort, provides a vantage point that showcases the less-visited, rugged side of the ski area.
- Mount Fee - Viewing Mount Fee from the Callaghan Valley presents a striking and dramatic scene. Mount Fee, part of the Coast Mountain range in British Columbia, rises prominently against the horizon. Its rugged, jagged peak often appears snow-capped, even in summer, providing a crisp, white contrast to the darker, rocky slopes.

The staff make this place a must visit attraction - As a complete novice snowmobiler, this was the ideal experience for me. The pace and difficultly of the terrain was perfect for a beginner. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. The staff were super friendly and helpful, from getting equipment ready to the training session and getting photos afterwards, they always had time to help. Our guide, Kayla, was fantastic with great energy and always happy to help. She went the extra mile to help one of our party who wasnt as confident. Massive shout out to her! The views were unreal and Kayla help by taking photos and setting up scenes. We even got to see a bald eagle up close in the wild circling above us! More than worth the money, would recommend to anyone!

Family Snowmobile Trip - We did the family 2-hour trip. Was awesome. Great scenery. Great ride. Was plenty of time. Our two boys (8 & 6) got to ride a mini-snowmobile in circles for a bit, which they loved. Our guide was Soosa, and he took us on the perfect trip, great photos, knew the trails, and knew the local history, trees, etc... Highly recommend it.

Excellent Tour - Had a great day with Soosa our guide. A true mountain man indeed. As the sun glistened on his ample beard I knew we were in good hands.
Great information and flexibility. Very safe and the equipment was in excellent condition.
Highly recommend

Loved it - so much fun!! - First time we had been on a snowmobile before and was so easy to ride and so much fun!
When travelling up to the snow mountains it is recommended to either have an AWD vehicle or snow chains as it can be very snowy up there. We went in Dec 2022 and Vancouver had a cold snap (in the evening in Whistler it was -21!) so wrap up warm and make sure you have decent warm boots.
The company do provide you with the necessary clothing but if you have decent boots/coat/gloves then take your own (like I did). A scarf across your neck is a must to keep the cold out.
After a brief introduction we were shown how to ride/control the snowmobile and we are off. Our tour guide (Arthur - Denmark???) was leading and kept checking to make sure we were okay. We had some magical sights to see and with so much snow everywhere it was beautiful! Stopped off for photos and also in a warm lodge for a warm drink and cookie. There was one section where we had the opportunity to go super fast on the straight and I loved it. Yes I nearly tipped the bike over twice (but counterbalanced out to stop it) but thats part of the fun.
I was riding with a massive grin on my face throughout and thoroughly recommended to adults and kits. Don't be put off on the price, it isn't the most expensive or the cheapest activity to do BUT when do you get the opportunity to ride a snowmobile in the snowy hills with amazing scenery around you? That is what you have to question and justify the spend if you are budget conscious (which we weren't). This is potentially a once in a lifetime event to try and it's fantastic.
Our guide did look like Jamie Dornan (tv/movie star) so I'm sure the ladies would have enjoyed that!
Only one criticism were the people behind the payment desk. Although we were a bit late I did notice this didn't make a difference as to how they spoke with other customers, rather blunt and didn't seem friendly. If you look past that don't let it spoil the experience and just ignore them :)

Will be back - I went solo for a snowmobiling trip and can say I’ve come back from whistler with a new hobby. The views are amazing, I wish I had time to do the tour again. Our group tour guide was Iago, who was super friendly and took everyone on the tour into account when adjusting the speeds we were comfortable with. He also made recommendations for restaurant spots in the village which helped when making reservations. He was super informative on the ride and great at getting us accustomed to the snowmobile (everyone on the tour was a first time rider)
Following the snowmobile tour, I did the dog sledding tour which I would definitely recommend as well.
Definitely book with this company if you’re looking for scenic views, new equipment, and helpful staff!
