Snowmobiling

An alpine adrenaline rush is one way to slay winter. Power through pure powder in some of the most sought-after terrain. West Yellowstone has been called one of the best places to snowmobile on the planet. The season starts early and ends late, averaging 153 inches of dry, powdery snow each year. Cooke City is equally amazing, with late-season backcountry snowmobiling extending into June and sometimes even July. Spring days make for longer daylight hours and more riding. Snowpack usually sticks around longer than most areas, stretching out the season. Climb to Daisy Pass at 11,600 feet. Freeride Henderson Mountain. Explore old mining country, play in deep powder meadows and boondock through the trees. Come see what all the fuss is about.
