## About

Perched at Government Camp along Highway 26 on the snowy slopes of Mt. Hood, Mt. Hood Skibowl Snow Tube & Adventure Park features America's largest snow tubing facility. Families love the multiple 400-foot groomed snow tubing lanes served by high-capacity conveyor carpet lifts, eliminating the need to hike uphill while carrying heavy tubes. On Friday, Saturday, and holiday evenings, the park transforms into 'Cosmic Tubing' with over 600,000 laser and LED party lights, black lights, and kid-friendly dance music. For toddlers and preschoolers, Frosty's Playland provides gentle mini sledding slopes, snow play mounds, and an indoor heated Super Play Zone with ball pits and climbing tubes.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: The base lodge and ticket concourses are accessible, though snow boots or sleds are best for navigating snowy pathways between tubing hills and lodges.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated Multorpor Day Lodge and Beer Stube offer indoor tables, stone fireplaces, clean family restrooms with changing stations, and hot chocolate service.
• Age Suitability: Main conveyor tubing is for riders 36 inches and taller (roughly ages 3+); Frosty's Playland and indoor play zone welcome infants and toddlers of all ages.
• Sensory Tips: Cosmic Tubing involves flashing laser lights and energetic music; daytime morning sessions provide peaceful, natural mountain sunlight and quieter surroundings.
