Snowmobile adventures include over 500km of old mining and logging roads. Options for daily rides include hill climbing, trail touring on packed trails or riding the powder. If you have experience you'll prefer to head for the high alpine and the glaciers, where you can ride the mountaintops during March and April. Backcountry snowmobile adventures into the high alpine cabins are also available. Besides snowmobiling you can ice fish or explore 50 million year old fossil bluffs. Cabins sleep 6 to 8 and are equipped with propane and wood stoves. The settled snow conditions and warmer days make this an ideal winter playground with miles of untracked alpine. At the end of the day you'll return to the warm and spacious ranch and relax in front of a fireplace after a home-cooked meal and relive the adventure.
