The facility features banked tubing and sledding runs, gentle beginner lanes, and an open snow-play area where children can build snow forts and snowmen surrounded by towering snow-draped pines. All sledding tubes and plastic saucers are included with your 75-minute timed session pass—no need to lug heavy sleds up from the city. Families can gather around outdoor fire pits to toast s'mores and sip hot cocoa from the on-site food truck, and heated indoor restrooms are conveniently adjacent to the hill. Online reservations are required via ShopTD up to 7 days in advance to ensure safe, low-density crowds. ## Similar picks in San Francisco - [Tahoe Tubing at Boreal Mountain Tahoe & Woodward Tahoe](https://grassyknees.com/san-francisco/activities/tahoe-tubing-at-boreal-mountain-tahoe-and-woodward-tahoe--listing-695aef2f2dc62e339cb5dda3) — Daily 9:30 AM–4:00 PM (extended twilight sessions until 6:30 PM on peak weekends and… · Boreal Mountain Tahoe (Tahoe Tubing Area), Soda Springs · Ages 4–99 · From $45 · checked Nov 4.
