Are you ready to take winter fun to new heights? If your kids like to sled then they will LOVE snow tubing. Enjoy all of the fun without trekking up the hill.
Snow tubing is an easy, fun and exhilarating outdoor activity for children ages 5 and up. No special skills, lessons or equipment are needed! Snow tubes are provided by the mountain so just bring a jacket, snow pants, boots, gloves and a hat. And of course, a mask!
Sessions are typically 2 hours, making it the perfect activity to do as a day trip. Since tubing is not an all day activity you can avoid lengthy time inside the lodge (if you prefer due to COVID). Prices are around $25-$30 per ticket (weekday, non holiday prices are lower).
TIPS: these sessions fill up so reserve well in advance and arrive early. COVID restrictions are in place so be prepared with masks for your entire family. There may be capacity (reservations in advance are required at some places) and distancing protocols in place as well.
