## About

Perched at 7,200 feet atop Donner Pass on Interstate 80 (~2.5 hours from San Francisco), Boreal Mountain Tahoe offers adrenaline-packed snow tubing with the easiest summit access in the Sierra. Tahoe Tubing features several machine-groomed sliding lanes equipped with banked snow berms and a continuous-moving surface Magic Carpet lift to take the work out of climbing the mountain.

Tubing operates in scheduled 90-minute timed sessions with strictly capped capacities to minimize wait times and maximize sliding runs. Custom heavy-duty inner tubes are included with admission. Young children under 42 inches can play in the dedicated snow play zone while older siblings slide down the main hill. Warm up between sessions in the Boreal Ridge base lodge with hot cocoa, artisan coffee, pizza, and heated outdoor viewing areas. Online advance reservations are mandatory.
