Small kids get their own Mini Snowmobiles at the track halfway through.

A 2-hour snowmobile tour in Whistler where families ride groomed trails through the Callaghan and Brandywine valleys, with kids under 12 riding free when accompanied by one paying adult. The tour includes winter gear, a professional guide, scenic stops at Black Tusk and Mount Fee, and a hot drink and snack at the backcountry cabin. Children ages 5–12 under 100 lbs can ride solo on Mini Snowmobiles at the track stop, which is the centerpiece of the experience.

The Experience

You arrive at the base facility to gear up—snow pants, jacket, boots, gloves, helmet and goggles all provided. A safety orientation covers the basics, then you head out on the groomed trails that wind through the Callaghan and Brandywine valleys. The route passes viewpoints of Black Tusk, Mount Fee and the backside of Whistler-Blackcomb, so you stop for photos at the scenic lookouts. Halfway through, the group pulls in at the Mini-Z track, where the real highlight happens: children under 100 lbs ride solo on Mini Snowmobiles while adults watch from the sidelines. It's the moment families come back for.

After the track, you continue riding to the backcountry cabin or dome, where a hot drink and snack break the cold. The whole outing—gearing up, safety talk and riding time—runs two hours round trip. Winter gear stays on you the entire time, so there's no fumbling between stops. A professional guide leads the group and sets the pace on the trails, which are groomed and suitable for mixed abilities.

Kids under 12 ride free when one adult pays full price; one child per adult is the ratio. Drivers must be 19 or older with a valid license. Parking at the base facility is free, and shuttle service is available on request if you need it. The tour runs on various groomed trails, so the exact route shifts with snow and conditions, but the scenery and the Mini-Z track stop are constants.
