Snowbird Mountain
This is a great tour for solo travelers, couples, or families. We were the only people on this tour and both guides were amazing. They were friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and the ski resort. Your pass includes lunch at the ski lodge, and most of the activities. My 2 favorites, were the cable car and the chair lift. If you’re a solo traveler, one of the guides will gladly team up with you, if you want. I highly recommend this tour.

Blake & Ella ROCK!!! Best experience on a tour
Blake and Ella led our tour. I was very impressed with the knowledge and tidbits of information about landmarks, SLC etc that were shared on our tour. I will definitely come back and request Blake and Ella!!!! I travel with adults with special needs on vacations. Blake and Ella worked with us and my clients loved their experience. I will be sure to book again with you as finding a great experience with special needs can be challenging. We are looking forward to our next tours. I also wanted to mention that Blake drove like a pro and we felt very safe while he was driving us around.
Very smooth ride. Thank you....

Amazing Tour Guides!
While our tour got rained out so we didn't get to do the gondola ride to the lunch spot, our tour guides were amazing and they pivoted us on a short hike to a view and were so fun and insightful. We would absolutely book this trip again. Travis and Ella's were awesome awesome awesome tour guides.

Highly recommend!
My husband and I wound up being the only 2 on the trip for the day. Blake was our guide and he was just fantastic. He had so much knowledge about the area and the wildlife . The mountains were stunning! Lunch at the top of the mountain was relaxing and the gondola ride up was beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed our day, thanks!

An unforgettable day!
The entire excursion was amazing. My tour guide Sonsori was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and friendly! Her extensive experience was obvious. She made the whole day perfect! I have a fear of heights and wasn’t fully aware of what I signed up for or how high we were going but she was so attentive and accommodating and made what would have been a miserable experience for me so memorable and fun. Snowbird was amazing, I cannot possibly describe how beautiful it is at the top and how incredible the tram ride was!
