Comparison Questions

Should I rent a snowmobile or book a guide in Steamboat?
Book a guide if you're new to snowmobiling, can't tow a trailer, or want someone to plan the route: Colorado Sled Rentals' private guided trips start from $439.90 per person plus tax and include the sled. Rent if you're an experienced rider who wants your own pace: rentals start from $360.40 per day plus tax.
Steamboat or Kremmling: which is better for snowmobile rentals?
Steamboat Springs offers three sled styles from entry-level to expert and optional delivery to the Columbine Trailhead. Kremmling offers 850 Khaos and 850 Patriot Boost sleds for wide-open powder and big terrain, with no delivery, so you'll need a tow vehicle. Both rent for 1 to 5 days, 8 AM to 4 PM.
Can beginners rent a snowmobile without a guide?
Unguided rentals are for riders who already know how to operate a snowmobile, tow and load a trailer, and carry backcountry tools and emergency gear. First-timers should book a private guided Beginner trip, which needs no experience, or a Rabbit Ears Adventures family tour.
Do I need a trailer?
For rentals, yes, unless you add trailhead delivery ($106) on a Steamboat rental; Colorado Sled Rentals rents 2, 3 and 4-place trailers at both shops. Guided trips need no trailer.
What's the best snowmobile option for families?
For a relaxed ride, Rabbit Ears Adventures runs guided 2 and 3-hour tours on groomed trails. For a private backcountry day, the Beginner guided trip needs no experience and keeps your group together with a guide.
