White Mountains welcomes families for the easy, fun sport of snow tubing

It’s time to release your inner child! Oh, and it’s fine to bring actual kids with you, too, when you go snow tubing at Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center. For two hours, you can walk up Tubing Hill, get your tube, and slide down. No lines, no lifts: Just good old-fashioned family fun. The hill is safe for all ages. There’s a warming hut at the top of the hill, and you’re welcome to bring snacks and beverages. On weekends and holidays, there’s a fire pit complete with s’mores and hot chocolate. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and holidays. Come see why they say Tubing Hill has some of the best family-friendly sliding in the East. Side benefit: The kids will sleep all the way home.

Remember when you were a kid and you zoomed down the local hills on a snow tube, coaster or sled? Well, you can recapture that feeling – and share it with your family – on the super-slick snow tubing hills of the Androscoggin Valley, NH region. At Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center, experience the low-tech thrill of walking up Tubing Hill, then coasting down on one of the center’s snow tubes. Your two-hour session on the hill will make lasting memories. On weekends and holidays, enjoy hot chocolate and s’mores by the fire pit. Or head out to one of the area’s inviting restaurants for a hot, hearty meal (and maybe a glass of wine for Mom and Dad) before a roaring fire.
