If you’re not much of a skier or snowboarder, snow tubing is a super fun way to enjoy the local slopes that doesn’t require any lessons.
Sliding down mountaintops at full speed, quick breaks for hot cocoa, time with family and friends – these are the ingredients for a perfect day. Just remember to dress appropriately – your toes and fingers will thank you!
These are some of our favorite snow tubing spots in the Northeast.

Limited ticket quantities are available; advanced purchase required for all visits.
