Beartooth Rides and Guides runs guided snowmobile tours, skills clinics, machine rentals, and avalanche gear rentals in the Beartooth Mountains. The company offers a range of options from full-day snowmobile rentals on a 2025 Skidoo 850 Summit to guided backcountry trips tailored to group skill level and current conditions.
Ride Rasmussen Style clinics are offered at Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels; each clinic is a structured nine-hour program focusing on body positioning, machine handling, terrain awareness, and sidehilling techniques with expert instruction.
Guided backcountry trips navigate steep terrain, granite lakes, and powder-filled drainages, and are adjusted to rider ability and prevailing conditions to prioritize safety and enjoyment.
Avalanche and backcountry safety gear rental packages are available for multiple durations, including 1-day, 2-day, 3-day, 5-day, and 6-day options. Each gear package includes a backpack, shovel, probe, beacon, and radio to enable rescue response and communication while traveling in avalanche terrain.
Beartooth Rides and Guides presents clear offerings for recreational riders and groups seeking guided backcountry experiences or training. Listings explicitly note equipment provided, clinic length, and rental vehicle model to help riders select appropriate options. Bookings and planning materials should be reviewed with the operator for up-to-date availability and seasonal conditions.
Safety protocols, route selection, and gear inspections are described in trip materials and reinforced by instructors before departures. Prior riding experience determines recommended options; beginners are encouraged to start with the Ride Rasmussen Style Beginner Clinic or supervised guided rides. Detailed booking terms and requirements are available from the operator.
