Snowtubing FAQ'S

Snowstar provides the chance to re-live childhood memories of riding an inner tube down a snow covered slope.  It is great family fun that requires no special skill or equipment.  Best of all, we will give you a ride to the top of Stargazer, our tubing hill.

What Age Can A Child Tube?

We prefer that children be at least four (4) years old.  For safety reasons all tubers must be able to get out of their tube on there own and exit the tubing lane in a timely manner.

Can More Than One Person Ride A Tube?

No.  For safety reasons only one person per tube.  Once again this is for safety reasons.  When speed conditions permit, multiple tubes can be hooked together, but each person will have their own tube.

Where Do I Go?

Tubing tickets are purchased in the Welcome Center.  After purchasing your pass, place it on your jacket, metal wicket first and then the ticket.   It is then a short walk to the bottom of the tubing hill to get your tube.

Can I watch My Kids without a Ticket?

Yes, there are some picnic tables, a fire pit, and music at the bottom of the tube hill.

How Safe is Tubing?

It is just as safe as riding a bike.  For safety purposes we ask you to enter the chute only after it is clear.  Exit the chute in a timely manner so the tuber behind you does not collide with you.  Attendants are there to help you.

Do I Have To Sign Anything?

We do require that everyone sign a tube waiver.  A parent/guardian is required to sign for anyone under 18.  A copy of the waiver is available to download.

Can I Bring My Old Sled?

We do not allow personal sleds to be used on the runs.  The tube rental is included in the cost of your ticket.

How Do I Get Back Up The Hill?

You can effortlessly ride back up the hill on the magic carpet, our state-of-the-art moving sidewalk.
 
Do I Need to Wear Special Clothing?

Dress according to the weather and as if you were going sledding.  We suggest dressing in layers and a water proof outer layer is recommended.  Sorry ski boots are not allowed on the tubing hill.

Is There a Place to Warm Up?

Yes, we do have a fire-pit at the tubing hill.  We also have a lodge next to the Welcome Center where you can warm up by one of our two fireplaces.  Our cafeteria is located upstairs and our pizza/sub shop is in the lower level.
