They're literally tearing things up and building out the tubing lanes as we speak to build their brand-new Tube Park. There's going to be 10 lanes of tubing and at night they'll have lights and music to tube to!

I haven't seen anything on their Facebook or website about pricing and hours of tubing just yet but I do know that their Epic Passes do NOT count for tubing. Tubing tickets are a separate cost.

I used to ski at Afton Alps when I was in my middle school's ski club, so it's been a while since I've been. I may need to head over there this season, though, for a little tubing AND skiing, probably!
