7 Best Places to Go Snow Tubing in the USA

Whether you’re interested in a wintertime family activity, an alternative to skiing or an add-on to a ski trip itinerary, snow tubing is just the thing. This fun activity dates back to the late 1800s, following John Boyd Dunlop’s invention of the air-filled tire. While it’s unclear how the activity officially began, we do know that snow tubing offers a great no-skills-required winter adventure. Many ski resorts offer designated snow tubing hills where guests can enjoy an exhilarating ride down the mountain, and a carefree magic carpet ride back up top. Some even feature illuminated lanes and laser light shows. Check out our list of some of the best places to go snow tubing in the USA
