Windham Mountain
How does this sound for a little excitement? You’re rocketing down a 650-foot snow-covered slope, lying flat on your back in a canvas-covered tube. And the only thing louder than your shrieks of delight are the screams of pure joy coming from your kids in the next lane.
It’s called snow tubing, Windham style, and it’s just one more way we try to make your day on the mountain an unforgettable adventure. And give Mom the opportunity to push Dad down a mountain.
Located at the Windham Mountain Adventure Park, the tubing hill has many lanes of downhill fun. Best of all, no skill is required! Please note that guests must be three years old or 36 inches tall to participate in snow tubing.

If skiing and riding are not your style, or you’re looking for a supplement to your other winter activities, snowtubing is a perfect activity for kids and adults alike! Hunter’s snowtubing park has nine chutes, 900 feet of length, 10 feet of width per chute, and the best part: a lift waiting for you at the bottom to take you back up to the top in seconds! You don’t have to do anything but relax inside a plump inner tube and enjoy the exhilaration and fun of the downward slide.
The snowtubing park is a perfect place for families, groups or individuals alike. Tickets are sold in two-hour time slots, and the park is open all day during weekends and holiday periods. Snowtubing can also make a fun nighttime activity. There is also a fire pit, music, snack bar and seating area for those in your group who may want to sit a few runs out. Sessions are priced at $18 per person for a two-hour session. You must be at least 42 inches in height to participate … and make sure you dress warmly! Operating hours and special group rates are available at www.HunterMtn.com.
