Looking for Snow Tubing? These 7 Ski Resorts Stand Out This Winter

We’ll be frank—this is POWDER and, for the most part, we cover skiing.

But we aren’t stupid. Many families have the lone member who, unlike their relatives, can’t stand the fact that every vacation has to involve skiing. Sound familiar? This article, which covers some of the best ski resort tube parks, could be for you. You send the wife or husband into the mountains, and while they’re scoring powder turns, you can rip the tube park with the kids.

Or, alternatively, maybe you’re a skier who simply loves snow tubing. We get it. Sometimes, it’s nice to feel the wind in your face without dodging rocks, trees, and other skiers.

Either way, these seven mountains across North America host great tube parks. Keep reading to learn more.

1. Camelback Resort, Pennsylvania

Stuck in the Big Apple and need a mountain fix? Camelback Resort, Pennsylvania, is about an hour and a half drive from New York City (barring traffic), and is home to a snow tubing park that pulls out all the stops. It spans as many as 42 lanes and, when the sun sets, glows with multi-colored lights. During Fridays and Saturdays, it stays open until 10 p.m. For an after-tube snack, swing by the Waffle Cabin, which slings, you guessed it, waffles with plenty of sweet fixings.

2. Snowshoe Mountain, West Virginia

Perched at one of the highest points in West Virginia’s Allegheny Mountains, Snowshoe Mountain presents a snowy retreat for southeast skiers. That includes plenty of trails and chairlifts to choose from, plus the Coca-Cola Tubing Park, a six-story, eight-lane hill. 

Like Camelback, Snowshoe Mountain flips the lights on at night, adding some otherworldly flair to tubing races against your friends or family. To take the snow tubing experience further, consider renting the whole place and having a pizza party—yes, that’s an official offering, but you’ll need 24 other tubing compatriots. If you’re looking for more activities to do other than skiing, Snowshoe Mountain also has you covered with snowmobile tours and the Comedy Cellar.

3. Blue Mountain, Pennsylvania

Another standout snow tubing park lives at Blue Mountain, one of Pennsylvania’s best-known ski resorts. The park’s claim to fame? With more than 55 lanes, it’s the largest in the U.S. Sonic Snow Tubing with music and lights ups the evening ante, and during the holidays, Blue Mountain hosts Christmas-themed sessions. All you need to do is pack a Santa hat—and leave Scrooge at home.

4. Mammoth Mountain, California

Fittingly, Mammoth Mountain’s mascot is, well, a mammoth named Woolly. The cute prehistoric creature cruises the ski resort’s sprawling slopes all year long, but you might also find him at Woolly’s Adventure Summit, an area jam-packed with activities and diversions. That includes a snow tubing park with two 512-foot runs, perfect for getting a little taste of speed and adrenaline. Beyond the lanes are additional options for year-round fun, including a mountain coaster and zip line. 

5. Mt. Norquay, Alberta

Among the three ski areas surrounding Banff, Alberta, Mt. Norquay is the smallest, at least as far as skiable terrain goes, and tends to attract fewer headlines. Its neighbors, Banff Sunshine and Lake Louise, are two of western Canada’s top ski destinations, after all.

But when it comes to snow tubing, Mt. Norquay is in a league of its own, sporting the province’s longest lanes. These paths through the snow are surrounded by Banff’s beautiful mountain vistas, adding some serious alpine flair to the experience. While you’re there, go skiing if that’s your thing, but a stroll through downtown Banff should put you in a suitably wintry mood, too. The tubing tickets might cost money, but the panoramas are free. 

6. Soldier Hollow Nordic Center, Utah

When the Olympics came to Utah in 2002, several winter sports arenas, including the Soldier Hollow Nordic Center, cropped up across the state. Soldier Hollow isn’t a traditional ski area, but it is a hub for cross-country and biathlon skiers.

Among the center’s structures is a tube park imbued with more Olympic history than your usual hill. Plus, it features the longest tubing lanes in Utah, covering 1,200 feet. To learn more about the 2002 Winter Games, add a pit stop at the Utah Olympic Center to your itinerary.

7. Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia

Named after the seltzer drink company giving La Croix a run for its money, Whistler Blackcomb’s bubly Tube Park has 1,000-foot lanes alongside smaller slopes for youngsters first getting comfortable with speed.

The park sits at the heart of Whistler Blackcomb at one of Blackcomb Mountain’s base areas, positioned below some of the most famous ski slopes on Earth. Those moguls and chutes may be the main attraction, but if you’re in Whistler and you’re bored, you probably need to spend more time finding a side quest—from restaurants and bars to zip lines and the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, there’s no shortage of ways to spend an afternoon or evening.
