THE RIDE

Scenic snowmobile approach

The trip begins with a snowmobile ride from the outpost up to the tubing hill, setting the tone with crisp winter scenery before the tubing session.

THE SLIDE

Guided tubing with varied speeds

After parking your snowmobile you'll board a snow tube; a guide tows you to the top and sends you down a large tubing hill that has both faster and slower sections so everyone can find a run they enjoy.

THE FORMAT

Short, concentrated winter adventure

This experience condenses snowmobile travel and multiple tubing runs into a focused two-hour program that emphasizes quick transitions between riding and sliding.
