Way back in the day, maybe 2003 I worked a while at Cycle Works when it was on 34Ave. There was a guy that had an office there and he did snowmobile and seadoo tours. He took your machine, loaded into his semi trailer and than bussed everyone to the location. Any companies still provide this kind of service?

Sounds like a decent idea. Do you know where there typically went for a tour? Whitecourt would be a good spot I think, not too far and plenty of km worth of trails to ride.

Could also be a pretty tough thing to make succeed. I think most guys that own a sleigh have a means of transporting it and likely won't pay someone to do it for them.

Rocky Mountain tours. I worked for the guy that bought that off Jim and Ed ( I think that’s there names lol). I built the trailer that they used. Not sure if they do sled tours but I think they do seadoo tours still. I know they did a few years ago still. Call ARS Trucking and welding and ask for Allen or Lyle they will tell you if they still do that or not.

I remember that trailer parked on 99st all the time,pretty sure they were mountain trips.
I went on that tour bus trip to Hunters Range, Revy and Golden back in in 1995, 5 day trip . Good times ! They loaded and fueled our sleds in the car trailer . We rode (drank) on the tour bus . Was cheaper than driving ourselves.

I used to see him in whistler/ pemberton back in the day. Loved the idea. Great guy to talk to. Small market niche but I think there is a demand if u are semi-retired or it is not your full time gig.

Went on quite a few trips with them. Haines, Stewart, Pemberton to name a few. Always a good time!

Rode my first mountain trip ever when I was 15 on a 1994 Phazer with that outfit. Left from Riverside and did two days on Boulder. Such a good time. Was 1995 I think.
