Ski‑Doo Tracks Through Powder: Backcountry Snowmobiling Out of Lava Hot Springs.
Starting roughly 10 minutes outside Lava Hot Springs, this snowmobile rental puts you onto thousands of acres of high‑country scenery and dependable snow; the operator’s fleet of Ski‑Doo 850 machines is intended for single riders (with an optional two‑seat upgrade), making it as much a day of scenic touring as it is a chance to climb and carve deep powder.

What the day feels like
What the ride feels like
The outing is equal parts scenic touring and performance riding: short transfer from town, then open snowfields and deeper pockets of powder where Ski‑Doo 850s let you climb and carve. Rentals are structured for individual riders unless the two‑seat upgrade is chosen, and machines must be returned refueled.
