Glow Tubing is Snow Tubing... it's just in the dark! All tickets purchased after 6:00PM are for Glow Tubing. We have Glow Tubing each and every night that our Snow Tubing Facility is open... for the entire winter season!
Yes, online only. Tickets cannot be purchased ahead of time at the ticket window. Tickets are released each Monday at 11AM and available through the 2nd weekend. Sessions Sell-Out Fast. Please Plan Ahead. Visit Hours & Rates Calendar.
A Glow Tubing Ticket give you access to our Snow Tubing facility which consists of a special tube designed for use on snow as well as use of a conveyor lift for a ride to the top if the hill. Special lights, music and features make every Glow Tubing adventure an night to remember. Amenities of the Snow Tubing facility include a lodge, snack bar, fire pit, bathrooms, picnic tables and well as access to our Main Lodge which includes additional dinning, a bar and two restaurants.
Glow Tubing is nightly Thursday thru Sunday and Peak Day throughout the entire season. Glow Tubing starts at twilight every night that our Snow Tubing facility is open. Our season often runs from mid December through mid March, weather dependent.
None. We have no requirements or recommendations for height, weight or age. It's at the guest discretion.
The minimum age for tubing participation is at the discretion of the parent or guardian. Only one person per tube but you can hold on another tube with supplied handles. It is not uncommon for even two to three year old kids to enjoy a day in the park! We have no requirements or recommendations for height, weight or age. It's at the guest discretion.
We do not offer a designated area for private or reserved space at our Snowtubing facility for such a need, but that's not to say we don't have parties, clubs, businesses and groups join us daily for their special day. For 2021 there is designated area called the Picnic Tent near the Main Lodge (away from Snowtubing) where people may bring their own food but tables may not be reserved and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
There are no discounts available for the 20-21 Season including groups or individuals such as military, student or senior. All purchases must be made online and there are no discounts online.
It can happen...but it's very rare.
No. Tickets are for two hours, but an "extra hour" can be purchased at a discounted rate afterwards if tubes are available. We also offer a season pass for unlimited tubing any day the park is open.
No. They must be purchased separately. Season passes for skiing and snowboarding have the ability to add on a snowtubing season pass for nominal fee.
Yes. During Peak Days and when mother nature has everyone thinking snow! Our popular Glow Tubing sessions often sell-out quickly too. Buy online as soon as tickets go on-sale. Only two weeks of Reservations are available at any time. Beginning each Monday by 11AM Tickets will become available through the 2nd weekend.
Yes and no. For 2021 due to COVID seating inside the Tubing Lodge and outside is very limited. We have a Snowtubing Lodge with a snack bar and shared seating as well as a well lit patio, bench seats, picnic tables and a fire pit.
We have a Snowtubing Lodge directly at the Snowtubing Area that has snack bar with warm beverages, snacks candies and basic foods like hot dogs and pretzels. Just a short walk away in the Main Lodge is Joe's Place a full service cafeteria as well as the Last Run & Deli.
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!
Most likely because we can make our own when conditions are favorable and mother nature is not helping. Please visit our SNOW REPORT at the top of the website for current status of our conditions and facilities. Our Season can run from mid December to mid March.
Yes but it must be consumed either at your vehicle or in our Picnic Tent located in the designated area near the Main Lodge which is away from the Snowtubing area. The Snowtubing Lodge located at the base of the Snowtubing area is only available for dining with those who have purchased food at the Snack Bar.

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.
