Snowmobiles allow for fast and convenient wintertime travel and more efficient dismantling of permit-violating igloos. Keep outdoor architecture up to code with today’s Groupon: for $60, you get a half-day snowmobile tour for one at Monarch Snowmobile Tours and Rentals (a $120 value).

Established in 1988, Monarch offers a wide variety of snowmobile tours to see the scenic sights of central Colorado. The three-hour guided half-day tour departs twice daily (9 a.m. and 1 p.m.), safely steering riders through the shadows of majestic mountain peaks on the crest of the Continental Divide. Powder-packing newbies will receive expert instruction to help them reach higher experiential elevations of experience aboard a Polaris 500 snowmobile. Rides through frosty meadows return free-range snowmobiles to their native habitat for a flurry-filled frolic, while the tree-lined trails provide a more structured upbringing for wayward sleds. Pause for snapshots on scenic overlooks to create more lasting mountainous memories than weaving an icicle-fringed snow-quilt. Back at the homey base lodge, guests can puddle-ize frosty boots while they enjoy complimentary coffee and cocoa in front of the complimentary moss rock fireplace. Call to reserve your bout of bonding with a skittish snow steed.
