Quotation marks mean the agency's exact words. Lights, shelters, restrooms and children's slopes show only where the agency says so, so a missing one means not stated, not no. "Cost not stated" means the agency doesn't say what sledding costs. Read how we check listings.

Plan your tubing visit around sessions and tickets. The operator says each lane stretches 1,100 feet with a 100-foot vertical descent per run, tubes are provided, and a conveyor carpet lift takes you back up, so there's no long uphill walk between runs. It relies on a large snowmaking system for its snow.
Choose your time of day on purpose. The operator says tickets bought after dusk are for Glow Tubing, a nighttime session with lighting effects that it runs on the same lanes from twilight, Thursday through Sunday and on its peak days. If you'd rather tube in daylight, book an earlier session.
Plan for limited seating. The operator says seating inside the tubing lodge and outside is very limited, so treat the snack bar as a quick stop and keep warm layers in the car. Its prices are on the card; check its site for hours before you drive, since we don't report daily conditions.

Think about helmets. Many families use a ski or bike helmet for sledding. Check that it fits and follow the helmet maker's guidance.
Ride sitting up, facing downhill. Going head-first puts your head in front. Follow your sled's own instructions for riding and steering.
Look at the bottom first. Look for a long, flat, open area at the bottom, away from trees, roads, fences, parking lots and water.
After dark, use a lit hill. The cards show which hills the agency lists as lit.
Walk up the side. Summit Metro Parks asks sledders to "walk up the side of sled hills, not in the center" (Summit Metro Parks). It's a good habit anywhere.
Take turns. Wait until the run below you is clear, and keep little kids close.
