We took our daughter who was visiting from college out snowmobiling, a first time for all 3 of us. Shawn was our guide, his explanation of the workings of the snow mobile and safety of the ride/mountain trails was great. We had a blast, the views were fantastic. Can't wait to do this again!!!!
My wife and I, and another couple, booked a half day trip on the Desert Mountain trail. It was a fantastic time! The Swan Mountain Outfitters were professional and friendly in setting up our trip, answered any questions we had, responded promptly to e-mails and knew what they were doing. The equipment and staff are first rate, and were experienced and knowledgeable. We ran at our own pace, had regular stops for pictures (which you will appreciate given the scenery) and had no issues. We would do it again in a heartbeat!
Our family of four took a trip to Montana and snowmobiling was top on our list of things to do. My husband was the only one with any experience. Brian was our guide and he made our trip a blast! He gave us great instruction, allowed our pace to be as aggressive as we could handle, made sure we got all our photo ops, and was an all around good guy. Brian was patient in giving us plenty of time in the play areas and was quite a trooper when 3 of the four of us got bogged down in snow and he had to work hard to get us out. The snowmobiles were new and easy to operate. Definitely recommend this for several hours of fun and adventure.
On a sunny day I took a guided snowmobiling trip up to Desert Mountain with my 14 year old guest from Brazil, who had never done any snow sports. Our guide was Shawn and he was just wonderful in explaining everything to her and to me! I have done this trip a couple of times, but felt that it would be best if we had Shawn with us in case my young guest needed extra help. The sleds are brand new and work so well, that you really cannot go wrong! Shawn was patient and fun, which made for a very enjoyable experience. We got to see fabulous views of Glacier Park and the surrounding area. Unless you want to summit peaks by foot which is really not convenient or possible for most people, you really do not get to see amazing views like these unless you hop on a snowmobile and head up there. It was a 2 1/2 hour ride and it was just perfect! Thank you Swan Mountain for providing such an amazing service!
Our group of friends took two different snowmobiling trips with Shawn from Swan Mountain during our 10 day stay in Whitefish and would do it again and again! The scenery is breathtaking and the views of Glacier National Park and its surroundings are stunning.Shawn knows exactly how to get you to the overlooks and views you want to see and allows plenty of time for you to soak it in and take many, many pictures. He also allows "playtime" for just purely enjoying running a snowmobile. He is one of the best and most attentive guides we have ever had and we have snowmobiled a lot out west. Two members of our group were newbies and felt very comfortable with the well groomed trails and attentiveness Shawn showed. We all trusted that when Shawn took the opportunity to run fast, we were also safe to do it without fear. It was a great trip and an excellent adventure!
Brian was a great guide and he even let us open things up a bit towards the end, since we had some experience riding and once we proved we could keep up with him, he let us have a great time and showed us some cool trials and it was a dope experience! I highly recommend using them if you get a chance to experience Montana a bit!
Shawn was an outstanding guide and was great with our young children. Swan Mountain was great to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun family time!! Thanks!
I bought my husband a 2 hour tour for his bday but was a bit apprehensive about riding myself. If you're nervous, don't be. This trip was BRILLIANT! Shaun will go at your pace and make you feel completely safe. The views were incredible, I've never seen such untouched terrain. Don't miss out!
This was by far our favorite part of our trip!! Our guide, Sean, was awesome! He made the trip all about us! He let us play and really have fun on our snowmobiles. He was so patient and knowledgable. The places he took us had amazing views! He won't push you past what you're comfortable doing, but he'll encourage you to have fun. There were a few hills I wasn't sure about, but after I flew down them, I was hooked! My husband loved being able to go off trails and follow Sean. We were sooooo pleased with our trip we can't wait to come back!! Won't visit Montana without booking with Sean again!!
Four of us were on a ski trip and decided to give snowmobiling a try. All from Minnesota we had some experience but it had been a while. Shawn, our guide was great. Gave us all the info/instruction we needed and showed us a great time for the next 4 hours on the Canyon Creek trip. Shawn was very flexible and always asked us what we wanted to do. The price for this adventure is a great deal. The res staff booked this for us on short notice and took care of everything. I have done similar trips in Yellowstone and Northern Minnesota. This was by far the best combination of value, adventure, well run and enjoyment. The sleds were awesome too. We would definitely do it again
