I did a night ride with Blackcomb Snowmobiles and had an unbelievable time. I own a snowmobile and do a lot of riding in the area so I wasn't expecting much - I was blown away. I went up with a large group of couples. It was the perfect way to introduce my girlfriend to the sport. Sunset ride to the top of brandywine bowl, candle-lit BBQ dinner in a private cabin and an overall excellent time. Our guide (Alex F) shreds hard and taught me how to do donuts. Seriously, I can't recommend this place enough.

Went out for the first time with Blackcomb Snowmobiles recently. As it turns out I am a terrible sledder and get stuck constantly. This guide Alex repeatedly helped me dig out my sled and was really nice about it. I had a blast!

Went out with Blackcomb snowmobile guide Alex on a powder tour. I had snowmobiled a couple times before but never like this. Alex made me push my snowmobiling and got me unstuck over 9 times. My snowmobiling got way better with his help and I had so much fun.

We recently had a corporate event here, and everyone had a BLAST! There were 25 of us, of all skill levels, and everything worked out great. Since it was a suprise, nobody had the proper gear, but they had everything we needed: pants, boots, jackets, gloves. All the snowmobiles worked, and there was plenty of them, in various sizes and speeds. We got two safety lectures, and we were off. They put us in group by skill level (desire for speed), and each group had a guide. Our guide Rob was teriffic, friendly, helpful and he made sure we had fun. We aged from late 20's to early 60's, males and females.

After the 2 hoursnowmobile ride, we climed aboard the snowcat, and travelled back up to the "cabin" for dinner and drinks. I would doubt this is part of every tour, but it's worth asking about. They made us as much food as we could handle, and more wine than we should have had. Of course, since we weren't driving, it wasn't all that bad. Dinner by candlelight, a fire outside to stand around, stars to gaze at....All the staff worked hard to make sure we had everything we wanted. No slackers these guys.

It rained all day in Vancouver, but the weather was nice on the mountain. They groom the trails each night so it's a fairly smooth ride. This was a blast, aand it's a once in a lifetime thing for most of us. Highly recommended.

Had an amazing 2 hours snowmobiling with our tour guide James. Was very friendly and extremely helpful. Took us to see some awesome sights at Brandywine Mountain as well letting the group have some fun in the machines it self. Highly recommend doing the sleds, especially if James is your guide. Five stars.
