By Sarah Frane Macaroni Kid South York November 11, 2024

Get ready for thrills, chills, and winter fun for the whole family at AvalancheXpress opening on November 26th at 4 PM! 

Snow Tubing

Snow tubing is an exciting winter activity that everyone can enjoy. Their snow tubing park features up to 10 lanes for tubing and two powered rope-lines to tow you back up the hill. Zoom down the slope solo, race a friend, or link up with the whole crew for an epic ride! The snow tubing park is lit at night, so the fun doesn't have to stop when the sun goes down. Warm up afterwards by the fire pits with a delicious hot chocolate or s'mores kit. No special skills are required - just hop in a tube and let gravity do the rest! AvalancheXpress has snow tubing lanes suitable for riders ages 3 and up. Kids under 6 must ride with an adult. Their experienced staff keeps the lanes groomed and ready for action. Up to 10 tubers can ride at a time, so bring the whole family or a group of friends!

Snow Tubing Packages

For the ultimate winter getaway, take advantage of their snow tubing packages. Spend the day zooming down snowy slopes, then relax at night with a gourmet dinner and spa treatment. These packages combine snow tubing with luxurious lodging, dining, and amenities for a memorable winter vacation. Make priceless memories together sledding, skating, sipping hot cocoa - the perfect family trip!
