Which Whistler Snowmobile Tour to Book
What to Expect on the Day
Meeting in the village
Tours meet in Whistler Village and shuttle up to the staging area on the mountain access road.
Kit and briefing
Suit, boots, helmet and goggles, then a briefing covering throttle control and how to handle a climb on a forest road.
The climb
Logging roads switchback up through old-growth forest, gaining height quickly. Coastal snow is heavier and wetter than Arctic powder.
Coastal weather means low cloud. On a grey day the alpine tour loses its view, so ask before paying the extra.Alpine section
On the backcountry tour the route reaches open bowls above the treeline, with stops for photographs.
Back down and extras
The twilight tour finishes with axe throwing; the family and beginner tours include hot drinks and activities at the base.
What to Bring (and What to Leave at Home)
✓ Bring
- Valid driving licence for drivers
- A waterproof outer layer, coastal snow is wet
- Thermal base layers and wool socks
- Goggles or sunglasses
- Gloves you can ride in, plus a dry spare pair
- Booking voucher
✗ Leave behind
- Cotton layers, they soak through fast in coastal snow
- Ski boots
- The assumption of blue skies, this is a rainforest coast
- Loose scarves
- Alcohol before riding
How to Choose a Snowmobile Operator
What good operators do
- State whether the price is per machine or per rider
- Include suit, boots, helmet and goggles
- Set out the child age and weight limits for the family tour
- Say what happens to an alpine tour when cloud sits on the mountain
- Keep beginner groups on forest road rather than pushing into deep snow
Red flags to avoid
- Sell an alpine view tour without warning that low cloud is common
- Leave age and weight limits out of a family listing
- Add clothing rental at the base as an unannounced extra
- Run large groups on narrow logging roads
