7 REASONS WHY UTAH IS A PERFECT PLACE TO SNOWMOBILE
December is almost upon us, and with it comes snow and the winter season. Utah is one of the best places to spend your winters, especially if you’re an outdoor enthusiast. There are plenty of winter activities you can try in Utah. Our favorite, however, is snowmobiling in Utah, where the snow is soft, and nature is thriving.
When you go around Utah on a snowmobile, you’ll see stunning mountains, pristine snow, and endless trails. These, combined with Utah’s rich culture, make the state a top destination for snowmobilers from around the globe.
If you’re still planning your winter trip, here are seven reasons why you should consider renting snowmobiles in Utah.
Why You Should Snowmobile in Utah
1. Exceptional Snow Quality
Utah is famous for its snow. In fact, the state is known for having the “Greatest Snow on Earth.” Its light, dry powder snow makes for smoother snowmobile rides, making it safer and more enjoyable for tourists—especially for beginners and those with kids. In addition, the state sees an average annual snowfall of 47 inches which may increase up to 500 inches in some areas.
2. Diverse Terrains
One of the best things about snowmobiling in Utah is the variety of terrains available. There are areas perfect for beginners while other locations are best for people who have experience snowmobiling.
Breaking it down, groomed trails in areas like the Daniels Summit Lodge are perfect for beginners and families with children. If you’re looking for high-speed rides, we recommend snowmobiling at the Monte Cristo Snowmobile Complex. Lastly, we suggest the Uinta Mountains for experienced riders looking for challenging terrains and breathtaking backcountry views.
3. Extended Riding Season
Utah’s climate and high elevation lead to a longer snowmobiling season than many other states. In many areas, you can start snowmobiling as early as November. In places with higher elevations, such as the Uinta Basin Snowmobile Complex, you can still ride through May.
4. Easily Accessible
Snowmobiling in Utah is very convenient as many of the best riding areas are just a short drive from major cities like Park City. There are numerous rental companies and guided tour operators catering to both novice and experienced riders. Many companies also allow snowmobile and gear rentals.
5. Variety of Trails and Complexes
Utah is home to networks of groomed and ungroomed snowmobile trails for riders of all skill levels. Some of the most popular areas include the Uinta National Forest, Logan Canyon, and the Mirror Lake Highway.
Mirror Lake, for example, connects to other Mill Hollow and Strawberry. This gives riders over 250 miles of snowmobiling space.
6. Natural Beauty and Wildlife
Snowmobiling in Utah offers riders unique opportunities to spot wildlife and immerse themselves in the surrounding nature.
While it depends on the trail, riders can typically expect to see deer, moose, elk, and even peregrine falcons during their trip. Some trails also wind through stunning vistas of mountains, forests, and frozen lakes.
7. Community and Culture
Lastly, Utah’s snowmobiling community is unlike any other. The community is vibrant and welcoming, with plenty of snowmobile clubs, events, and races for riders of varying skill levels.
