YMCA FAMILY TRIP 20th ANNUAL - SNOWMOBILING AT YELLOWSTONE - Upper Palmetto YMCA
SNOWMOBILING at YELLOWSTONE
                                                   4 NIGHTS
              Same trip - 2 groups         January 25– 29, 2020           or      January 26 – 30, 2020

TRANSPORTATION – We will fly roundtrip from Charlotte to Bozeman, Montana. We will depart Charlotte
in the morning, arrive in Bozeman early afternoon, then we will travel 75
miles to West Yellowstone, Montana in a chartered bus. We will arrive
back in Charlotte on an evening flight.
SNOWMOBILES – We rent snowmobiles that have features designed for
touring. They typically have electric start with reverse; multi-position
backrest; cargo rack; heated handgrips; 11-gallon fuel tank with fuel
gauge; and “extra suspension” for a smooth ride with a top speed of 70
mph. NEW: Fuel costs will be the responsibility of each individu-
al. Our snowmobile vendor in West Yellowstone requires all renters sign
a damage waiver; The YMCA is not responsible for any damages. To
save time this year at the rental counter, we can assist with handling
vendor snowmobile insurance at the time you register. For more infor-
mation on Yellowstone Vacations damage waiver, please visit: https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/
w/5b8ebcb3c74b4/web/?auto_tag=1631_14_1549954800_00_00
AGE RESTRICTIONS – In order to drive a snowmobile you must be 16 years of age and have a valid driv-
er’s license. Any age may ride double with an adult.
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK & TOURS – Yellowstone becomes a winter wonderland during the
winter. Mountains are snow covered and so are the roads. Snow coaches are van –like vehicles that have
tractor treads for traveling in the snow – our package includes a snow coach tour into the Canyon, as well
as a guided snowmobile tour to Old Faithful. Snow Coach and Snowmobile guided tours into the park to
Old Faithful can include stops at Madison Junction, Fountain Paint Pot, Fountain Flat Road and Biscuit Ba-
sin, and lots of wildlife stops. Our vendor also allows for lunch and sightseeing time at Old Faithful. Snow
Coach to the Canyon includes seeing the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Lower and Upper Falls, along with
Gibbon Falls, Beryl Spring, and lots of wildlife stops.
SNOWMOBILE TRAILS – A network of more than 300 miles of groomed snowmobile trails are available
for riding snowmobiles outside the park. West Yellowstone is nicknamed the “Snowmobile Capital of the
World.” Our second day will be spent riding the beautiful trails outside the park.
LEADERSHIP – Tina will provide registration assistance at the Regional YMCA office, 151 South Oakland
Avenue in Rock Hill, SC 29730 – (803) 324-9622 Ext. 221. Y staff will attend the trip and group leaders will
lead daily snowmobile trips for those interested. A special thanks to veterans who assist the group in many
ways – Ron Russell, Bill Mauney, Frank/Jean Weaver, Dale Dove, Dennis Jones and Arno Hoerschgens.
FOOD & LODGING - HOLIDAY INN – Our lodging will be at the Holiday Inn in West Yellowstone, Mon-
tana—right across the street from where we rent our snowmobiles. The Holiday Inn has a restaurant and a
cocktail lounge, and rooms have 2 queen beds, satellite TV, and an indoor heated pool/whirlpool. They do
not have kitchen facilities in their rooms so meals will be eaten out; however, they do have a mini-fridge
and microwave for any snacks you might want to purchase in town. There are also many restaurants within
walking distance of our hotel so there is no need to rent a car in West Yellowstone. Finally, we do have a
few hotel room upgrades reserved. Please see Tina for availability.
SPECIAL NOTE – The YMCA reserves the right to change lodging location, snowmobile model or other de-
tails of the trip should the need arise. Trip cost for air relating to this snowmobile package may be in-
creased at any time due to fuel surcharges and other changes made by the airlines. Each participant will be
responsible for paying the airlines for their luggage transfers. Flight refunds and other flight changes are
subject to airline policies. To be ticketed, airlines require your name as it appears on your driver’s license
(or passport), date of birth and gender. Tickets are non-refundable. Group members are responsible for
securing their own trip insurance and any refunds are subject to the policies of our vendors.
