Get Prepared

In general, snowmobiles must be returned to the Bears Den Cinema no later than 5 PM each evening.  If you would like to keep your snowmobile during your stay and you are not scheduled to “change” snowmobile models during your stay, you may ask the Snowmobile Manager when you pick up your snowmobile if it would be allowed.  The Front Desk Staff cannot give permission for you to keep your snowmobile after 5:00 PM.  You must arrange this with the Snowmobile Manager.

You don’t need to worry about picking up your sack lunch for Canyon.  Lunches are ordered the night before and are picked up in the morning by the guides (snowmobile or Snowcoach).  Please double check with your guide to confirm they have your lunch prior to departing on your tour.  If you have elected NOT to have us order you a deli sack lunch in favor of bringing your own lunch, please do not forget your lunch in the morning.  There are no food services at Canyon.

The touring snowmobiles do have a very small compartment under the seat.  If you are concerned with storing something on the snowmobile, please visit the Bears Den Cinema and have one of the staff show you the actual compartment so you can plan what to bring or what not to bring.  We do not advise storing camera’s or any other electronic devices on the snowmobile itself.  The rough terrain and cold temperatures can damage these items.  Cameras should be small enough to fit inside your snowmobile suit close to your skin to keep them warm enough to function properly.  If you have items you need to carry with you, small, lightweight backpacks that don’t interfere with your driving are ideal.

No, that is not true!  While the Snowcoach is heated, it can take a while to heat completely.  During your tour you will be getting off the Snowcoach and taking pictures, even walking around.  You need to dress for the weather and layer.  You need to wear appropriate footwear for walking in snow and on ice.  We recommend a good hat, warm gloves and even snow boots.  Layer your clothing and bring a nice warm coat.  If you do not have appropriate cold weather outerwear, please see the Front Desk Staff.  Boots, gloves, facemasks are all part of our snowmobile rental clothing that we can rent to you for a day.  We can even rent you a 1 piece snowmobile suit for the day, if needed!

Gratuities are not included in the price of tours. We have the best guides and they work hard to provide a safe, memorable and educational experience. Please reward them accordingly. We suggest a 15% gratuity.
