SNOW TUBING IN BOONE NC
December 16, 2008
While skiing and snowboarding remain the
favorite activities of most people coming to
visit the High Country, snow tubing is fast
growing in popularity. A form of sledding,
tubers can run and hop onto an inflatable donut
tube and sled down the steep snow lanes. Safe
for a all age levels, snow tubing in North
Carolina is a great activity for those who do
not know how to ski or snowboard. When you reach
the bottom of the Snow Tubing in Western NC
lanes then most snow tubing resorts have a quick
and easy way to get back to the top of the
tubing runs. You can hook into a surface lift
system that will pull you, as you sit inside
your donut, all the way back up to the top of
the tubing hill.
Snow Tubing has become hugely popular in Western
NC as Hawksnest Resort became the premier Snow
Tubing park in North Carolina. Famous for being
a local favorite for skiing and boarding,
Hawksnest abandoned their skiing business and
instead turned their resort into the largest
Snow Tubing area on the east coast. Offering
four Snow Tubing areas, with 20 lanes of fun
some 1,000 feet long, Hawksnest is a place you
must visit if you are looking to spend a few
hours sledding in the snow. Prices range from 22
to 30 dollars per two hour session, and visitors
will get a discount for buying 2 or more
sessions. This area is the closest Snow Tubing
in Boone NC as well if you are staying in our
Cabins in Boone NC.
A lesser known spot for Snow Tubing in Western
NC is the Jonas Ridge Snow Tubing Park. As a
smaller park, this Family Resort for Snow Tubing
is renowned for being family friendly. The staff
always keeps safety in mind, and looks out for
smaller children. Jonas Ridge is located near
Linville, a bit further away from our
Log Cabins for Rent in Banner Elk NC, yet
still close enough for a day trip to the park.
