    Important Information    :
    Tubing is an activity which carries with it inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, speed; changing weather, terrain, surface and subsurface conditions; collisions with other tubers, natural and man-made objects; and lack of directional control. By purchasing a ticket you will assume the risk of all injuries and damage to clothing and accessories, i.e. glasses, goggles, gloves, boots, etc. Tubing can be dangerous, especially in the run-out area. Small children have trouble clearing the run-out quickly. It is important that the run-out area can be cleared quickly as to avoid accidents. Children under 36" are not allowed to tube. All children between 36" and 42" tall must slide in their own tube and ride in tandem with an adult unless circumstances and conditions, determined by management, dictate. Everyone must have a proper tubing ticket, they must have their own tube (provided by the tube center), and there are no discounts for age or height. There are no refunds. Rain checks will only be issued if the tubing center fails to operate for the time allotted on the issued ticket, i.e. mechanical failure of the lift or closure of the facility as deemed necessary by management. Hats, gloves, boots, jackets and other warm clothing are all suggested due to the winter conditions associated with tubing. Weather conditions can change quickly and drastically after ticket purchase or during your tubing experience. Please dress appropriately!
