3.Whistler Wilderness Run Snowmobile Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 724 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $236

Review of Whistler's Wilderness Run snowmobile tour, with backcountry trails, frozen lakes, guide-led rides, costs, rules, and practical tips.

“Had a great time! We couldn't do the whole trip we wanted due to Avalanche conditions, but the company refunded a portion of our money and the guide found ways to keep the trip a blast, AND we returned SAFELY. Several times the guide and company had to work through awkward situations/ problems and they did a great job of rolling with punches and finding alternate solutions. If you are adventurous or a competent sledder, would recommend Eric as a guide.”
