Weather Considerations
Cold Days (Below 20°F)
On very cold days, layer up more underneath and bring hand/toe warmers.

Snowy Days
Fresh powder is amazing for riding! Goggles are especially important.

Gear Questions
What should you carry on any snowmobile ride?
Bring a phone with a full charge (keep it warm in an inner pocket), ID, trail map, and hand/toe warmers. For longer or unguided rides, carry water, snacks, a basic first aid kit, and emergency contacts. On guided tours, your guide carries most safety equipment.
How should you dress for snowmobiling in Colorado?
Layer with moisture-wicking base layers (never cotton), add a fleece mid-layer, then wear the provided snowsuit over everything. Wool socks, a thin beanie under your helmet, and a neck gaiter protect exposed skin. At 10,000+ feet, wind chill makes proper layering critical.
