WHITE MOUNTAIN SNOWMOBILE TOURS, INC.

What WHITE MOUNTAIN SNOWMOBILE TOURS, INC. does

White Mountain Snowmobile Tours, Inc. is a privately held, locally owned adventure tourism operator founded in 1991 and headquartered in Leadville, Colorado. The company runs guided snowmobile tours on a fleet of Polaris 550 Voyager and Grand Touring machines, operating at elevations between 11,000 and 12,600 feet on private land including the slopes of Mount Arkansas under a USDA Forest Service Special Use Permit. It offers four core products — Prospector (family-friendly groomed trails), Performance (fast-paced solo alpine riding), High Adventure (backcountry powder), and Zip Line Combo Tours that pair snowmobiling with the sister company Top of the Rockies Zip Line — along with private group and corporate event bookings. Pricing is transactional, ranging from $200 per driver on the Prospector Tour to $400 per driver on the 3-hour High Adventure, with mandatory and auto-applied guide gratuities and an optional $35 photography upsell.

The company books directly through a Rezdy-powered online reservation system plus phone reservations, targeting day-trippers from Denver and ski-resort visitors from Vail, Breckenridge, and Aspen. Demand generation relies on organic channels — Google, TripAdvisor, Facebook, Instagram, blog content, and email — supported by a 4.6-star rating across 500+ Google reviews. Operations run out of two base camps near Leadville (White Mountain Base Camp on Highway 91 and Turquoise Lake Base Camp on County Road 99), staffed by 11 core employees and roughly 15–18 seasonal guides, many of whom have been with the company for over a decade. The seasonal, permit-dependent, experience-based nature of the business makes weather and snow conditions the dominant revenue variable.
