There’s nothing quite like speeding down a snowy hill in a tube, and Utah has many spots that supply the tubes, hills and the lifts to do it. So, bundle up and head for the hills.
Helmets are not usually required, but it could be a good idea to protect developing brains. Prices and information listed here are subject to change. Go to park websites for up-to-date information.
