Winter storm warning was in full effect but that did not stop us! We live in Nevada which is 3 hours away from this specific location. We forgot about the time difference. Yikes. They were very undstanding. Got there right on time 15 mins prior tour time, checked out the mobiles for any damages, went over safety rules which took about 10-15 mins and then it was time to go! They have every gear ready for rent (with a fee) if you do not have the clothes or accessories. Some gear is also for sale. Some merch also for sale which i made sure to buy for memory keeps. They provide the helmets, snowmobile and snowmobile gas.
Anyway tour was one of a kind. It was in the middle of a winter storm blizzard which was what i wanted and dreamt of for my first time riding a snowmobile. It was myself, my husband and two boys (12 & 13 as passengers). Our leader was Randall. He was super nice, attentive and even brought us to a great photo area. You know hes an expert for him to know how to get around in that storm! Just amazing. I had an incident of falling over (which im known for since i tipped over a jetski in the past as well). Good thing i listened to the rules or else there would have been an injury.
We did the 1.5 hour tour but plan to come back with some friends and go for a longer tour. We absolutlely loved it. Such an amazing first time exprience. The mountain thunder team is very professional, experienced and friendly from the front desk to the person assiting with helmet size to your instructor. Cant wait to come back! I will personally definitely invest in some goggles and baclava (face cover). The helmets shield were fogging up that caused my vision to be dangerous at times and i had to lift up the shield just to be able to see but had to be slapped with ice from the storm lol. Nontheless, perfect...
Read moreOUR FIRST EXPERIENCE IN SNOWMOBILING AND THIS PLACE TOTALLY KILLED IT!
Great customer service and amazing tour guides! Our guide was Ted and his personality is just amazing! He was extremely helpful with all instructions and super funny during our snow adventures! We talked and laughed almost all the time. He shared some interesting stories from his life with us during our tour.
Our tour was 1,5 hour and we did stop by few different spots. There were some moments when my adrenaline rushed out but it only made this journey more memorable.
So just some tips from my experience.
Make sure you have warm clothing, including balaclava and gloves! Helmets will be provided at the property.
Also they put a big chunk of money on hold from your card as an accident prevention insurance. Be aware so you have enough money on your account.
Also you have to sign a waiver so in order to avoid crowds inside the property, you may do so ahead through you email.
Property provides a complimentary coffee and tea so you may warm up before and after your adventure. There is also a restroom inside.
Overall just great and fantastic, now we dream to come back for a...
Read moreI cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience but more specifically, the crew. I’m from Alabama so snow is a foreign and scary occurrence for me but I’d always wanted to try snowmobiling. Everyone took such great care of me and made sure I had an awesome experience. I was able to rent gear there and the ladies at the front took care to make sure everything fit comfortably and I stayed warm. Reed was a great guide who made things fun so everyone left with huge smiles. But the hero of the day for me was Kelly. I couldn’t figure out how to park my car so he helped me park it where it needed to be and not on the side of the mountain. I was very hesitant to drive the snowmobile so he went with me to calm my fears so I could eventually drive. He even helped me get my vehicle back out onto the road and gave me a HUGE pep talk so I could get down the mountain. As great as the experience of snowmobiling was, the people were 100x better. I can’t recommend Thunder Mountain Motorsports enough. If you’re a pro or a first-timer like me, they’ll make sure you have a bucket list time and take...
