Im going with a group to the Christie lodge in Avon. Im wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good place nearby to rent sleds / guided tour. Most of the group arent snowmobilers but want to go on a guided tour. So is there anything out there that has a tour that the non riders can handle, but still allow me to have some fun too? And any other cool things in the area to check out? Were going the week of X-mas. Also would be open to just renting a sled and going riding but not sure how comfortable i am just going out not knowing the area. Any advice would be great. Thanks

There is Vail pass but also a place right in north vail going up red sandstone road. Also unsure of name but its a great ride and the company is great. The riding back there without a guide is great. Wouldn't suggest it with proper gear though, had some slides last season in weird areas.
Vail Valley Tours. Also on facebook. 970-476-7749 they are 5 min from Avon
Cool, thanks im gonna check that out. I didnt even think about the slides.
Camp Hale side of Vail Pass, about 15 miles from Avon, We ride the area few times a season, nice when its a good snow year (like 2 seasons ago).
I know nothing about this tour group, other then seeing them there. If you do it, ride over to Mangos in Red Cliff & have a Taco & some Beers! http://novaguides.com/

There is also Sage Outdoor Adventures near Wolcott which is 10 miles west of Vail. They pick you up from your door take you to ride then return you. there website is http://sageoutdooradventures.com/
Sounds good. Im all about good tacos and a cold brew
Just curious what you guys definition of good snow is? Like 2-3 feet?
When there's 4 plus feet on the ground by the end of Nov, Life is good!
Anything 12" or more over night, makes for a Great Day!

In Vail at red Sandstone rd ,close to the pedestrian over pass, is( Piney river ranch) Vail Valley tours. Standard group rides hot choc that sort a thing.On the other side of red & white mtn, is Sage outdoor adventures , they run out of 4 Eagle Ranch/Muddy Pass.Right now low snow, they are taking you to the snow on Rzr's, then hoping on sleds.
The place i would go to is Nova Guides, Out of Camp Hale,(backside of vail pass) you can rent solo sleds or do the tour thing. Just be sure to be equipped and take a buddy. all three provide transportation.
Been pretty warm lately pray for snow!

Sage no longer operates out of 4 Eagle Ranch.
Sage operates out of the piney valley ranch on the back side of castle peak/ beacon hill on top of the red canyon
Nova Guides in Camp Hale. They will take you up by Vail Pass
