Tubing and sledding are for those who simply wish to play in the snow without the hassle of having to display one’s skills. It is you vs gravity. Most excellent tube and sled areas have great places to tailgate, picnic, and build snow structures. Let the memories commence!
Soda Springs is a small resort off of Highway 80 close to Sugar Bowl Resort that offers excellent beginner ski and snowboard terrain, and areas to simply play in the snow. They have a snow-play area designed for children ages 8 and under, with snow carousels and tubing. This is a great place for children to play in the snow and learn how to ski and snowboard. There are instructors on-site, but they encourage parents to be there for your children’s first turns. They also have “mini-snowmobiles” for children 6 to 12 yrs old to drive on a circular track; helmets are provided.
