Please Read these tubing FAQ's for more information.

 

Can anybody use the tubing park? 

No, there is a minimum height requirement of 42 inches. In addition, riders must be able to get in and out of a tube comfortably, as well be able to pull or carry their own tube while walking on snow.  Parents can reserve a space at our Children's Center for children too young to tube. 

 

Do I  bring my own tube? 

No. Tubes are included in the price of the park ticket.

 

Is lap riding allowed? 

No, for safety reasons, there is a limit of one person per tube.

 

Can I hold on to another tube and ride to the bottom together?

No, in the interest of safety, the tubing lanes are designed for one tube at a time.

 

How long is the tubing park?

The tubing lanes are 450 feet long. There are 3 separate lanes, which begin on an elevated ramp. The gentle slope propels the tube down the mountain and riders are brought to a stop on an uphill ramp at the end of the lane. 

 

How do I get back up to the top of the hill?  The tubing park has a moving ground lift that transports both the snow tube and the rider back to the top of the slope.

 

Where do I park? 

Tubers should park in the lower parking lot, just below the West Lodge. This lot is a short walk to the lodge and tubing facility. 

 

If I want to bring a group,  may I reserve part of the lodge? 

The West Lodge is open on weekends during peak ski season, and on holidays and holiday weeks.   We can usually reserve a table or two for your party if you are bringing a group.  Please call ahead to check on availability and to make a reservation, 413-339-6617.

 

 

*Groups must call in advance to make reservations and must pay together in one sum in order to receive the group rate.  Special tubing hours may be available for groups of 40 or more people if the group makes reservations and pre-pays. 

Hours subject to change - Special Holiday Hours apply for: Christmas week through New Years, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Massachusetts Preside
