We can open anywhere from the day after Thanksgiving to around the New Year depending on Mother Nature! We ask that you  join our Newsletter or check to our our Snow Report for the latest information when conditions are favorable. Once we can start making snow it's often only days before we are ready to open!

A. It's real snow but it may very well be man-made. Same science applies to man-made snow as real snow but we have some amazing technology to help make it efficiently when temperatures are favorable.

A. None! All we ask is that you be able to get into and exit the snowtube under your own power. From toddlers to grandparents we have guests of all ages and abilities enjoy the slopes.

A.

Most likely yes! We have guests every week with different unique needs and seldom run into issues. If the guest can get from a vehicle to the edge of the snow we can get them into a tube. Someone will need to pull the guest to the conveyor carpet and they can ride up the carpet to transport to the top. Although we do not permit guests to ride in the tube up the hill we do permit it for our guests with unique needs, it's totally safe. Upon arrival, please inform staff of any issue that might restrict your party of enjoying the tubing experience, they will do their best to provide assistance and accommodate the situation to ensure everyone a safe and exciting time.
