Responsible Travel: Sledding
Golden is your destination for big mountain snowmobiling. Three core alpine areas and over 240km of groomed trails cater to all abilities and experiences.
Responsible Recreation
- Ride on designated trails only - grab a trail map from one of the many downtown businesses!
- Keep right at all times. Trails have two-way traffic with limited visibility. Do not stop directly on the trail.
- Know the rules and regulations in the riding areas.
- Practice zero tolerance with respect to impaired riding.
- Always be able to stop your sled within a safe distance.
- Do not ride alone. Always let someone know your plan before you go out in the backcountry.
- Take an Avalanche Course! If you haven't already, sign up for an AST course to learn about safe travel in the backcountry.
- Pack out what you pack in. Keep our trails clean. Respect wildlife and other outdoor enthusiasts!
