On The Trail Outfitters

05/26/2026

What a start to the season! 🌲✨ We had an amazing turnout for opening weekend at On The Trail Outfitters. The mountain air was perfect, and our new 2026 Polaris RZR XP 1000s got a great workout.

Huge shoutout to everyone who stopped by and rode with us. Did you get out on the trails this weekend? Drop your best photos in the comments below! 👇

2026 Summer Season Update:

Drier weather and low snow totals form the winter are helping us get ready for summer. 🌲☀️

We are predicting and early start around Memorial Day weekend (May 23rd). Normally June 15th to allow the Forest Service to allow snow to melt and trails to get cleared.

Currently our reservation system is open for mid June and when our New 2026 Polaris RZR XP 1000s arrive we will open up the rest of our Calendar.

** New for 2026 ** Guided Tours daily 9am-11am. Get out early and enjoy the crisp mountain air.

❄️ CLOSURE UPDATE ❄️
To all our fellow sled heads, we are hitting the pause button on rentals! While we love seeing you on the trails, current snow totals just aren't giving us that snowmobile experience we want for you.🌲

We are watching the forecast closely. Several warm sunny days ahead which will impact us greatly. We also know that spring storms can be amazing and get us back up and running.

Keep an eye on our page for reopening updates! Stay safe and think snow! 🌨️

We will be closed for Rentals and Guided Tours on Tuesday March 3rd. We do have a reservationist answering phones from 8am-4pm

Get out and ride. 10”- 30” of new snow depending on what part of the mountain you are on.

❄️ Winter just made a serious comeback in Grand Lake, Colorado.

After a slow start to the season, the snow finally showed up and we’re talking feet, not inches. Upper elevations picked up easily a foot overnight, with some areas pushing closer to two feet of fresh when you factor in wind drifts and the last storm. The Grand Lake Trailgroomers, Inc. were out through the night packing Kawuneeche Road from Idleglen to Chicken Hill, building base on Kawuneeche to “D,” and working sections of Pony Park, Stillwater, Gravel, and Supply.

If low snow totals had you waiting to plan your Grand Lake winter trip, this is your sign. Snow is stacking, trails are coming together, and that quiet west side Rocky Mountain National Park magic is back.

Winter lives here. ❄️

Rentals and Guided Tours have been ramping up over the last couple of weeks. It looks like the week ahead should be a good one for more much needed snow. Come up and ride Grand Lake.

Amazing!! Thank you to the Grand Lake Trailgroomers for their efforts on getting Grand Lake some groomed trails. We know it’s been a rough season for snow totals. Extra effort this week from the GLTG Board, volunteers, and employees to make it all happen. Thanks again.

Access from our rental shop is thin. We continue to haul snow to cover as many rocks as possible. Pray for more snow this week so we can continue to be open.

We still have some availability for the weekend ahead. Riding should be incredible.

8-10” of fresh heavy snow over the last 3 days at our rental shop. Customers from today are reporting 15-18” of new snow at upper elevations. It should be a great weekend to be in Grand Lake CO.

Stop in and check out our selection of Klim gear, new Outfitter merchandise, hot drinks, and snacks while you are out riding Grand Lake CO.

Conditions in Grand Lake CO continue to get better. Another 4” of snow overnight that we were not expecting. Yesterday we spent some time on the mountain checking snow depth as our customers continue to tell us how good it is at upper elevations.

Total snow depths measured as of 1/30/26
Hot Dog Park 39”
Willow Park 16-33”
Hatchet Park 25”
Pony Park 24”
Rob Roy Park 28”
Intersection O 30”
Intersection X 31”
Whiskey Park 15” (need a bit more snow befoe we recommend riding)

Trails leaving from our Rental Shop are thin but getting better. Trails leaving from Idelglen Parking Lot are thin as well.
