While winter enthusiasts await winter’s arrival and the news of opening day at local resorts, snow tubers can get the jump on the season at the Skibowl Snow Tube Park which is set to open Nov. 23.
Skibowl has invested in an all-weather snowmaking system that allows for
making snow at significantly warmer temperatures than traditional equipment.
“This is a state-of-the-art system that will allow us to meet key dates and
holiday periods when Mother Nature isn’t always cooperating in the early part
of the season,” said Mike Quinn, Vice President and General Manager at
Skibowl. “We are so excited to get this winter season started and intend to
start making snow as soon as the temps begin to cool off.”
Skibowl’s Snow Tube and Adventure Park features Mount Hood’s only
conveyor assisted tubing hills. The park’s other activities for kids includes: an
indoor play zone; kiddie snowmobiles; tube carousel; and Frosty’s Playland
where even the smallest snow lovers can play safely in the snow.
On weekends, Friday through Sunday and holiday nights, snow tubers can
enjoy the energy of LED, laser and black lights along with popular party music
during cosmic tubing sessions.
The Snow Tube and Adventure Park will also be open daily during the winter
break in December. For operating hours and tickets visit Skibowl.com or call
503-222-BOWL.
