We did the half day w/lunch tour on March 15th. While there wasn't too much snow, it was still a good time. Joe picked us up at our hotel and was right on time. They do say to allow them a 15 min. window. We picked up another group and was on our way to Camp Hale. It was a... More

This was a client trip, and I was in charge of the 'non-ski' activities. Nova Guides were recommended to me by a friend who used them before. I could not have been happier with the service I recieved dealing with Drew or anyone on his staff. The tour itself was absolutely breath-taking. Just beyond words! I highly recommend the Top...

We had a great time on our snowmobile tour with Nova Guides. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Vail. We arrived by shuttle to the Lodge at Camp Hale, where the staff fitted everyone for gear and collected signed releases. While they offer full gear for your experience in snowmobiling on the mountain, we chose to... More

As a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers, we went on the Top of the Rockies (Half Day) Tour with Nova Guides recently. We all enjoyed the tour so much that we regret not going on the Full Day tour!! I cannot be more complimentary of our guide Greg D, who was sensational in all aspects, including the natural... More

It was AMAZING, we were a group of five women. We loved it. Jason was great. The trip to the top was breathtaking. Definitely a must when visiting Colorado. Kinda disappointed that were weren't given the bonfire and hot cider as stated on the website when we arrived back to camp. Seemed like they were ready to close for the... More

We rented snowmobiles for two hours here. We went with our adult kids and their husbands. The scenery was stunning. The equipment worked well and the staff was very helpful. The views are incredible; even compared to the gondola view at Vail. The feeling of being out on the mountain is amazing. The staff was very friendly and let us... More

Our ATV trip truly was the highlight of our vacation to Vail, Colorado. We left from the Camp Hale area, which is close to Vail. I'm a 50 year old woman and I drove my own vehicle and absolutely loved it! This is a great activity to share with your husbands ladies, and I promise you'll both have a fabulous... More
