Escape to a winter wonderland, atop the Continental Divide in Western Wyoming. This group of eight women heading to Wyoming for this snowmobiling adventure will enjoy two full days of zooming along the snow-laden trails. Our days will be spent winding through lodgepole pine forests and valleys surrounded by stunning mountain vistas. During this four-day, three-night excursion, attendees will be surrounded by towering snowbanks in a serene mountain setting at Togwotee Mountain Lodge, in Moran, Wyoming. At over 8,645 feet, the high alpine air is crisp and refreshing, while also still and quiet—except for the occasional “braaap” of snow machines!
This trip includes two full days of guided snowmobiling on rented 650 CC snow machines. The Togwotee team is diligent about keeping these machines in tip-top shape, and the group’s snowmobile guide will provide everyone with detailed safety and driving information. Previous snowmobiling experience is not required to attend!
Attendees should aim to arrive in the area on Thursday afternoon, at which time the group will check into our cabins at Togwotee Mountain Lodge after 4 PM. That evening, the group will spend some time bonding over dinner at Togwotee’s restaurant or saloon, and in the adjacent game room. Friday morning, after a restful sleep in our cozy cabins, we will get familiar with the machines and equipment before heading out for a day on the snow. Lunch will be at a nearby lodge—Brooks Lake Lodge—which is only open to the public during lunchtime. After a day of fresh air, we will retreat back to the cabins where we can make dinner as a group or eat at the lodge once more. On Saturday, we’ll do it all over again, before departing anytime on Sunday. Cabin checkout is at 10 a.m.
Wyoming’s weather can be extremely unpredictable—a bluebird day can quickly turn into a blizzard by afternoon. The best way to prepare for these conditions is packing a variety of warm, moisture-wicking layers. Avoid cotton for the snowmobile rides, but pack whatever comfy clothes you desire for our time in the cabins. Waterproof winter jackets, pants/bibs, gloves/mittens and boots are a must. However, if you don’t have any or all of these items, the snowmobile rental shop offers a complete set of rental gear for $19/per person, per day. Helmets are included with your snowmobile rental, although snow goggles are not (and are encouraged).
Three nights of lodging in Togwotee’s cabins are included in the cost of this trip. Each cabin has 400 sq. feet of space that includes a living room, bedroom with two queen beds, kitchenette, and full bathroom. The kitchenettes include a mini-fridge, two-burner stove top, microwave, as well as pots and pans for cooking. The kitchenette allows our group the option to prepare meals at the cabin or to dine out at Togwotee Mountain Lodge’s restaurant or saloon. Attendees can expect to share a double bed with another woman, so please be prepared for that. Our cabins will provide us with quick and easy access to hop on the snowmobile trails.
It’s always a good idea to book your flight after joining the facebook group! That way you are able to communicate with others attending the trip to book your flights in sync and split rental car or uber costs!
