SNOWTUBING
OFFERS ANOTHER FUN WAY TO PLAY ON SNOW
During recent years snowtubing has continued to grow in popularity at Ski NH resorts as a simple, fun way to slide on snow. Snowtubing is as easy as sitting down and letting gravity do the work. Even if you've never seen snow before, your first tube ride can be a fun one. Tubing facilities vary from ski area to ski area, with some offering straight, high speed runs, while others offer twisty banked runs. Many of these areas also have a dedicated lift serving the tubing area to quickly get you back up the hill for another run.
