Snow tubing parks in the Southern hills promise wild, wintry rides—no real slope skills required

12/10/2023

Every year in mid to late fall, snow tubing parks across the South open for their seasons, drawing the coat- and mitten-clad masses for a little zero-skill, minimal-effort fun. (Wedging into an inner tube for a wintry romp has proven so popular, most parks strongly encourage reservations.) But its age-reversing effect is tubing’s real appeal: The exhilaration of flying down a hill, grin frozen in place, elicits childish glee in anyone eight to eighty years old. Ready for a totally tubular day? Pull on your snow boots and head to one of these Southern snow tubing destinations.

The eight-lane snow tubing hill at Snowshoe Mountain’s Coca-Cola Tube Park boasts a six-story elevation drop that’s been delivering thrills amid chills since the late 1980s. And when the sun goes down, Galactic Tubing blasts the excitement level out of this world. Multicolored lights above the lanes wash each ride in a revolving rainbow that attracts bigger crowds than daylight tubing. While the park stays packed during all open hours, the tubing team keeps an eye on ticket numbers to minimize wait times.
