snow tubing

Before this trip, the only tubing I knew of was on water. It's even better on snow! It was a blast. This is how it worked: When we arrived at Hunter Mountain we go directly to the place where we buy the ticket. We only paid $18 for 2 hours. We then go to the place where can choose the tube we want, then we went to the top of the hill. We sat in our tubes and pushed off the edge (sometimes with a little help), and then flew down the huge hill at what felt like 90 miles an hour.

It was so much fun and you have absolutely no control! You just spin around and you can't steer yourself at all. Then, when we all held on together and went down, we went even faster! The best part about this is you are pulled back up the mountain, on what I call a "tube lift", to the very top just to do it all over again! It was so much fun and everyone should try this when they go to the mountains.

I would suggest taking a camera with you. And when I say with you I mean on the tube ride. I left my camera in the car so I wasn't able to take a lot of pictures and a video. I hope next time we come there I will be able to take a picture while were sliding down the hill with our tube.
