Tips for Snow Tubing in Utah
Dress warm and waterproof. Nothing ends a snow day quicker than frozen fingers and toes.
If the snow is fresh, wear goggles or sunglasses. The tubes sometimes send snow flying into your face while rushing down the hillside.
To avoid crowds at snow tubing parks, always aim for weekdays. Not only will you be able to get in more runs, slower days are cheaper at some resorts.
When snow tubing at a local park, make sure the area is clear of hazards, including people, before starting down the hill. You need a big enough flat area at the bottom to slow down after your run. Once you stop, quickly move out of the way so you don’t get run down. Also, consider wearing a helmet. Once you get going fast it is hard to stop.
