Spirit Lake Lodge

There's very few things you can't do at Spirit Lake Lodge. With everything from swimming and fishing to snowmobiling. There's something for the whole family.

Snowmobiling is becoming an extremely popular winter sport in the Rocky Mountain area. While the some of the best conditions are found during January, February and March, the early and late portions of the winter season are commonly a bit quieter, offering riders and easy-paced trail experience.

Snowmobiles are easy to operate and they're the best way to take in the breathtaking winter scenery and wildlife. If you're new to snow machines, but can drive a car, then undoubtedly you'll be able to handle a snowmobile.

You can easily take a tour, also. This will often include transportation to and from your hotel, continental breakfast, lunch, and a knowledgeable Jackson Hole area guide.

Rental facilities are also available. Once you arrive at a snowmobile shop, you'll be outfitted with a snowmobile suit, boots and a helmet with face shield. Ski gloves are there if you don't have any. After a safety demonstration by your guides, you'll be treated to a day of outdoor fun in pristine Rocky Mountain backcountry.

Snowmobilers in Canada and the United States spend over $27 billion on snowmobiling each year, including expenditures on equipment, clothing, accessories, snowmobiling vacations, and more. Surveys show that, on average, snowmobilers taking overnight trips (24% of these surveyed) take three to five trips per year, spending two nights per trip away from home.

The average snowmobiler is 41 years old, married, with an annual household income of $70,000. Eighty percent of snowmobilers use their sled for trail riding and touring.

The same weather and terrain that make the Centennial State a skiing destination also make it a popular place for another winter activity: snowmobiling. With the help of traveler input and expert opinion, U.S. News identified the following Colorado snowmobile tours – all of which have knowledgeable and skilled guides – as the best available.

Like Colorado ski resort season, snowmobiling season typically runs from November to April, but specific tour companies' schedules may differ. Be aware that age restrictions for snowmobile operators and passengers vary among tour companies. And be sure to dress for the cold as most companies do not provide boots, scarves, neck gaiters, goggles or other gear beyond helmets.

As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
