In Texas, tubing means floating down a river with a beer in hand. Up north, this means sliding down a snow hill in an inner tube. Same concept, really. Regardless, both require a sturdy inner tube for fun all winter and summer long. Here are eight snow tubes and sleds that winter sport lovers swear by.
While everyone else is enjoying ice skating, we’ll be riding out the cold winter months in inflatable snow tubes. Find a fun sledding hill near you and enjoy the thrill before it all melts.
Best Snow Tubes for Snow Tubing
This is Amazon’s number one tube in new releases for snow tubes. For under $28, you can get this 5-star tube. Keep in mind, if you’re an adult you can ride with your bottom on top of the tube with your legs out. Children will fit right into the snow tube! How fun!? It’s perfect for the whole family. Your next trip to a Colorado ski resort (or a local tubing hill) will be too fun. A tuber said:
