Snowy Slopes – The Best Snow Tubing Spots in Lake Tahoe – News18

Winter in Lake Tahoe is synonymous with snow and the adventures that come with it. Few things are as exhilarating as snow tubing down a slope on a sunny day in Lake Tahoe. Ideal for all ages and skill levels, snow tubing promises one of the best thrills that Lake Tahoe has to offer during winter. Explore Tahoe’s top snow tubing parks for an unforgettable winter experience:

Tube Tahoe

Open seasonally and conveniently situated on Highway 50 at the Tahoe Paradise Golf Course in Meyers, Tube Tahoe is the home of winter fun for the whole family. At over 500 feet in length, the eight professionally groomed tubing lanes at Tube Tahoe are some of the longest in the area. And, thanks to its snowmaking system, conditions on the hill remain great all season long. What sets Tube Tahoe apart is its super-friendly staff and Instagram-worthy views of Echo Summit and Mount Tallac. Admission includes a high-quality, hard-bottom snow tube that will have your heart pounding as it races down the lanes.

Blizzard Mountain

Located at the Sierra-at-Tahoe ski resort, Blizzard Mountain is a family-friendly sledging facility that boasts two lift-accessible tubing lanes. Lay back and relax to get to the top while the rope tow pulls you up. Each lane has a starter deck for easy take-off and a gentle run-out for a comfortable stop. Whether your kids are excited to try snow tubing in Lake Tahoe or just looking for simple winter fun, Blizzard Mountain has it all, complete with picnic tables, outdoor fire pits, and snowball kits. Visitors can purchase a general admission tubing ticket (peak/non-peak pricing) or a snow play ticket for spectating.

Adventure Mountain

Located atop Echo Summit, with a base elevation of 7,400 feet, Adventure Mountain is the highest tubing destination in South Lake Tahoe, which means loads of natural snow. The park sits on over 40 acres of pristine mountain terrain and offers up to 18 groomed tubing lanes for tubers of every age and level. A family-owned and operated resort, Adventure Mountain promises fun for the whole family.

Hansen’s Resort

Hansen’s Resort & Tubing Hill offers a secluded setting away from the noise of downtown. The perfect winter destination for kids, parents can easily watch their children enjoy snow tubing on the well-groomed tubing runs, which feature high walls and a gently sloping hill for a smooth stop at the bottom.

Heavenly Adventure Peak

Experience the thrill of a gondola ride combined with tubing at Heavenly Mountain Resort. Located at the summit of a scenic ride from Heavenly Village, Heavenly Mountain Resort’s tubing hill features four 500-foot lanes with a 65-foot vertical drop.

Tahoe Snowmobile Tubing Hill

Located next to Mont Bleu Resort & Casino, Tahoe Snowmobile offers the perfect blend of family fun and excitement with hillside tubing and snowmobiling. Experience it all with your family to create unforgettable memories.

A Quick Tip

Before you head out to one of Lake Tahoe’s amazing snow tubing parks, here is a quick word on what to pack, wear, or rent.

1. Snow is cold and sometimes wet, so a sturdy pair of winter boots or water-resistant hiking boots with great grip is essential.
2. Wear at least three layers to stay warm, and remove them as needed if you start to feel too hot.
3. On a sunny day, the reflection of the sun on the snow can be blinding. Be sure to grab a pair of sunglasses or ski goggles before you head out.
4. Exposed skin is vulnerable to sunburn, so applying sunscreen is a must.
5. Tubing is a family-friendly activity, but it is still worth wearing a helmet when you visit the hills to avoid collisions and small accidents.
