We had a great time on a 2 hour private tour with Tyler.
They conduct the tours at the speed of the slowest person and therefore if you don’t want to be held up by someone in a larger group then I would recommend the private tour.
You start on a reduced engine key and as and when the instructor is happy with you the engine capacity is increased. This was useful to gain confidence as we hadn’t ridden a skido before.
Tyler was great, the transfer was good from Hilton and the hot cider stop was warming! Would recommend.

We always recommend if you have experience on snowmobiles to book a private tour as well for the same reason. Private tours are a great way to have a more custom experience for your Family or Group. I am glad Tyler made you feel comfortable and you had an awesome time on tour!

Chris from Pictou County, NS was a great tour guide. An absolute gem of a guy and recommended some good food for after our tour. Took great photos for us and showed us some beautiful places. 10/10 would recommend Blackcomb Snowmobile but 13/10 would recommend Chris

Yesterday we did the 2 hour family tour with two other families we knew. We lucked out with just our group and had the best time. Covid protocols were great with lots of separation when indoors completing forms and getting suited up.
Stanley was an enthusiastic, safety conscious guide who ensured we all had a great time. Highlight for the kids were mini snowmobiles but they also enjoyed being passengers.
We rode to the Blackcomb Snowmobile hut for cookies, hot apple cider and a chance to warm our hands at the fire. The kids spent 20 minutes tobogganing and “had so much fun” according to our 11 year old.
The trip back was a little faster with everyone more comfortable on the snowmobiles. Now that we’ve had a taste of snowmobiling we’d like to go again for another longer adventure.
Thanks Stanley for a fun afternoon!

The driver who picked us up was friendly and helpful. We were told to expect a lot of dogs getting excited about their work and barking. We were also told that they rescue the dogs, some of which come from hard lives. I don't think we were really prepared for the amount of dogs we would see all tied to chains. There is also understandably a strong smell of urine because they go to the toilet while standing there. After getting in the sled, we waited for the dogs to get attached whilst sitting right next to two of the dogs barking and being aggressive to eachother. This was quite scary given they were a few centimetres from our faces. Our musher was quite abrupt and (due to language barrier?) bordering on rude. She offered for me to stand on the back of the sled and gave me very brief and curt instructions. I actually fell when I had to jump off and run by the side of it.
The dogs did seem in good health but as an animal lover it was quite overwhelming seeing them all. That combined with falling and the musher being so abrupt left me feeling sad.

Hello Lauren C,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are very pleased to hear that you were informed of our work with rescue dogs, which is a very important aspect of our operation. We have had an unseasonably warm winter in Whistler and with a lack of freezing temperatures in the valley, a smell of urine can sometimes be noticed, though we continually work to address this issue. Our dogs only spend about 15 minutes on drop-lines so that we can give each one a physical examination and a bowl of soup. Each of our dogs have their own unique personality and choose to express themselves in their own way, sometimes this excitement can be interpreted as aggressive behavior. We are sorry if this made you feel uncomfortable in any way. Although we may not want our house pet barking so much, we encourage energy and excitement before a run. Whistler is an international community and there can sometimes be a small language barrier between guests and their guide, though we endeavor to provide a high level of service at all times. We always try to offer the option of guiding your sled for a short time, with the assistance of your musher, though this is not compulsory and you always have the option to stay seated if you prefer.
Thank you again for your feedback and we hope you had a wonderful time in Whistler.

First time dog sledding and was blown away. Such a great experience! It was amazing to see how happy all the dogs are! They have so many friends to keep them company and run all day. This is an great experience to do on a off day from the mountain or even after a day of skiing for a apre tour. We went in the morning and the service provided by blackcomb snowmobiles was exceptional. Callum from the UK was fabulous. He was a real people person that took the time to get to know you. Thank you for making this experience memorable!

Making memorable experiences for our guests is everything we are about! The dog sled tours are so amazing as the dogs truly love to run and it makes them so so happy to see new faces every day. All of our managers and staff care for the dogs as their own. Thank you so much for coming on this adventure with us!

Luck would have it that it snowed again this late in the season and so the untouched snow was just gorgeous! Our guide, Tyler, was awesome. He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about the area. It was obvious that he was a pro at snowmobiling but never made us newbies feel awkward. The family had a great time, and the kids even got to spend time on some smaller snowmobiles in an open area where we took a break in a beautiful tepee. The whole experience was great and the kids even asked if he could be our guide for our next excursion!

We booked the 3h Wilderness tour that was supposed to include a deeper exploration in the wilderness and lunch and although I was excited because we were a small group, I ended up a bit disappointed.
Our tour concluded in 2.5h, I wouldn’t call a hotdog to have lunch provided and it sounded like our guide had put her 2 weeks notice into her job. So probably not very motivated to give us an amazing experience. We went up and down thorough a few trails all along the same valley with planned stops for taking pictures and I felt we could had spent our money better…

Thank you for your review! I am sorry to hear the tour was not what you were expecting. It sounds like you got extra time on the trail! Our 3 Hour Wilderness tour, as advertised, is round trip with 2.25 hours of ride time and is more adventurous than the 2 Hour. This includes a light BBQ lunch which is the smokie, apple cider and a cookie! If you were looking to get off the groomed trails, I would recommend a 3 hour Private Tour next time! We also offer Dinner Tours which are a full 4 course meal and not as light as the included lunch on snowmobile tours. Thanks!

My two sons and I are experienced flat country Ontario trail sledders so we booked a 4 hour advanced mountain tour to see how the other half of sledding lives. Our trip was amazing. Powering these long track sleds up massive mountain sides in unlimited deep powder was exhilarating. Our guide Steve did an outstanding job of showing us how to lay the sled over and make the epic deep powder turn, how to hang onto the side of the sled as you carve up a side hill and how to make those classic deep powder S turns you see on every great snowmobile commercial. Steve was also awesome at helping us did out our sleds when we got stuck on the side of the mountain. Remember we are flat country guys…..If you are a flat country sledder and you have never done this, do it now!!!!! Its beyond awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Today we had an amazing 3 hour Wildnesses Tour with Ava. I can honestly say this is one of the best organised trips we’ve ever taken part in. Ava gave clear and concise instructions and allowed us to make the most out of our riding time available! Timed well so was able to see the sunset on the way down the mountain. Would 100% recommend if travelling to Whistler! Thanks again Ava!

Ryan was an amazing guide and we had so much fun! I would highly recommend the 3 hour private tour, especially on Monday morning when it's less crowded and the paths are freshly groomed. It was also a nice touch to bring us to a cabin for some delicious cider and warmed cookies 🍪 Would definitely recommend!

Snowmobiling and snow shoeing is not suitable for toddlers. Dog sledding may be okay, as they can ride with you.

Written November 10, 2019
Will tours be available in the beginning of December?

Yes usually they have tours all year. But it will probably be a snowmobile tour if it has snowed already. Theyre a great company and they have great tour packages

If you take the Pinnacle Tour at 430. Will there still be enough daylight to take photos of scenery and riding the snowmobile ?
Written August 4, 2019
Hi, at this tour time there should be enough light for photos but it can depend on the day's weather conditions and how late in the Winter season it is. If it is a relatively clear night, the photos will likely be fantastic.

We will be arriving 12/17/2019. How far out do I need to make reservations for 2 adults?
Written January 13, 2019
For blackcomb calling them up 2-3 weeks in advance should be good enough. But if you plan to stay in whistler, I would recommend making lodging reservations a few months in advance.

Es conveniente hacer el wilderness tour de 2 horas en la noche ?? (Luego de las 4:30 pm)
Written January 26, 2018
It depends on what you are looking for from your tour. It is a different experience in the evening as the sun is setting and most of the tour runs during starlight and or moonlight. The snowmobile's all have strong headlights so that you can see the trail ahead. It is a wonderful experience and something different.
