A. No. We supply the tubes which are safer and more fun then your flexible flyer!

A.

We do not. You can find area accommodations listed here. 

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.

Tickets often go on sale in November with availability for all available dates from late December to late February. Additional dates and quantities may become available early and late season, as well as based on weather and cancellations. We will not announce a specific date or time of release. 

A.

Yes and no. When we are open to the public there is no special pricing or group considerations. Tickets must be purchased online and at full price and the system permits 15 ticket to be purchased at one time. We do offer Weekday Private Park Rentals that can accommodate large groups and are very cost effective when group sizes are in excess of 50+ people. 

A.

Yep. 

A.

No. There are several picnic tables and a patio you can watch from at the bottom of the slopes. 

A.

When dates through late February are only showing it means we have not determined if weather and snow conditions will allow dates later in the season. Tubing often goes into early to mid March but we will not release those dates until confidence is high we can deliver on the reservations.
