Snow Tubing at Sage Outdoor Adventures
If you’re looking for a way to break up your skiing and riding on the slopes and give your legs a break, try snow tubing. Just plop down on the tube, let your feet dangle in the air and let gravity do it’s job down the groomed slope at Sage Outdoor Adventures.
There are two tracks for snow tubing — a green run and a blue run — and if there are people in your party who aren’t tubing, they can watch from a seating area below the hill while sipping on hot chocolate.

Tubing hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the tubing hill is only open until early April but that is weather dependent. For more information, go to SageOutdoorAdventures.com.
