Snowmobiling in Colorado
Hi everyone, looking for some info on snowmobile tours in Colorado. Just looking for a one day thing, near Winter Park or Kremmling (or someplace else if there's better locations available). A hotel recommendation would be great too. We'll be going the first weekend in March.

I have friends who have done this one at Camp Hale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Hale (10th Mountain Division) and had a great time. It is not by Winter Park however, closer to Vail.

Several years ago a short tour I took with Grand Adventures (maybe 4 hours?) was slow and rough on the trails, except when they went to a bowl where you are supposed to ride in a circle for an hour or so. Wide experience level, so the group had to go with the least experienced. Would the Snowy Mountain Range in southern WY be an option? I had a much better ride there (and a better price IIRC).

Full services are available in Laramie, Saratoga and Rawlins. Limited facilities are available in the mountains. Guided tours/rentals are available in Laramie and on the mountain. Snow depths of 12 feet are possible.
