This place is totally awesome! I love snow tubing. I have been trying to get back here for 2 yrs now and l am so glad we came. We went on line and printed off our waivers and it let’s you electronically sign. It saves a few steps because you can’t purchase your tickets with out it. The tickets are $ 33.00 for everyone. I think under five years old is free. They give you a ticket with your name on it and you attach it to your clothing.
I do believe they color code for each day. You can snow tube all day if you feel up to it. There is no limit such as some of the other places. .I won’t mention names but some of the snow tubing resorts only let you start on the hour. Not here you can start anytime you want. Some of the Resorts have a Two hour limit. Not here. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon around 11am and we continued to snow tube until around 2:30 or so. I just couldn’t stop. I probably went up there around 9 times total. Was about to make it ten but it started getting crowded around 1pm. So I opted out at nine times of sliding. If you go towards the back the rides down hill is much faster. Start with the front if you’re a beginner. I have now graduated lol. So proud of myself. .hahaha. l definitely will be returning with family next year. This should be a yearly thing that the whole family would enjoy..

My family and I just stayed and had a wonderful time. Staff was genuinely nice and even stayed open on a slow night for us. Great time for all.

Apparently this place is a golf course in the summer and they convert it to snow tubing in the winter. The location itself is great, plenty of free parking, a couple of restaurants to choose from, a concession stand and food trucks outside, and a lift to take you to the top if you don’t want to walk it. The hills were pretty good, with the staff pointing out which ones are the fastest to get you the best speed.
With that said, I’m only giving 3 stars because I think there is some serious lack of safety consideration at this place. Before you’re even allowed on the tubes, you have to sign a waiver agreeing that you will not sue them EVEN if they’re grossly negligent (Yes, it actually says this). I did go ahead and sign it, but I do have to admit that I felt a bit hesitant. I mean, I get it if it’s beyond their control, but GROSS NEGLIGENCE? They shouldn’t get an out for that. But I digress…
I also understand that this is an outdoor winter sports area. There will be snow and ice. I get it. But the common walkways were incredibly icy and slippery. They put down a few rubber mats, but this did very little to help, and in a few cases even made it worse. One woman with our group of friends slipped and fell and ended up with a broken wrist. I saw several people slipping and falling that day, and can’t understand why they don’t at least put down some kind of ice melt or SOMETHING in these common walkways.
They do have fire pits and chairs scattered up and down the strip, and you have the option of bringing your own food if you prefer. But the food in the restaurants was actually quite good, with the upstairs dining being a little more upscale with a great bar. And they also have a hot chocolate bar, where you can get unlimited hot chocolate with several add-​in options for $ 4 for the day. Not a bad deal!
So I guess the bottom line is that it’s a fun place to spend a day, but understand that you’re taking your safety into your own hands, so be careful and watch where you’re walking… because they’re not.
