Prospector Snowmobiling Tours offer the perfect blend of forested trail riding and high alpine scenery for groups, families, and individuals seeking a scenic snowmobile tour in the Rocky Mountains. This is our most popular option for families with children, couples who prefer to double up and ride two per snowmobile, and anyone looking for a relaxed and memorable introduction to Colorado backcountry snowmobiling.
Prospector Tours begin with a brief instruction session outlining the operation of your machine, followed by an open meadow practice ride to familiarize yourself with its handling. You’ll then embark on a guided snowmobile tour through high alpine meadows and forested trails that open to sweeping views of Colorado’s two highest summits — Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive.
Family-Friendly Snowmobile Tours at Copper Mountain, Colorado
What makes the Prospector Tour uniquely special for families is the open meadow play area at the Prospector Lodge base camp. Guests can enjoy free riding time in spacious, snowy mountain meadows with plenty of room to open up their throttle and explore. The Prospector is the only local snowmobile tour to offer child-sized snowmobiles alongside this open meadow play area — allowing kids to experience Copper Mountain snowmobiling for themselves on miniature snow machines sized especially for them.
This combination of guided trail riding, open meadow free time, and child-sized snowmobiles makes the Prospector Tour an unmatched family snowmobiling experience in the Frisco and Copper Mountain area. Whether your group includes toddlers riding as passengers, older kids on their own machines, or adults experiencing Colorado snowmobiling for the first time, the Prospector Tour offers something memorable for everyone.
