The Longest Snow Tubing Run In Alaska Can Be Found At Arctic Valley Ski Area
Are you looking for great outdoor fun this winter? Arctic Valley Ski Area runs a snow tubing run in one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in Alaska. Bring the whole family to this awesome lodge, only 10 miles outside of Anchorage, to spend a tubing session riding down gorgeous mountain terrain.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
A quick drive up into the mountains from the city gives you gorgeous views and tons of great snow to ski or snow tube on. The snow tubing at this beautiful spot is so popular, they've expanded the number of daily sessions offered!
While it's only one person per tube, feel free to link tubes together as a family. Make sure not to head down the mountain until everyone at the bottom has cleared the area!
As each session maxes out at 50 riders, it is highly encouraged to purchase tickets first so you don't show up to a sold out run. You can't purchase tickets online the day of riding, however. Make sure to arrive 30 minutes early to fill out your waiver, and to grab tickets if you weren't able to book them online.
General admission is $16.00 per person, or if you're an Anchorage Ski Club Regular or a Life Member they are only $10.00 per session. If you are an Arctic Valley Season Pass holder, the tubing sessions are free.
This 2019-2020 winter season they will have expanded hours. They are now open Thursday through Sunday. They will have four sessions: 1:00 p.m. through 2:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. through 4:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m. through 6:00 p.m., and 6:00 through 7:30 p.m.
Grab a local beer on draft and relax after your day out in the cold on the mountain. The lodge can also be rented for events, and weddings are very popular in the summer and fall seasons.
The park will stay open from November all the way until April 4th, 2020. This leaves you plenty of weekends to grab your friends and family and get out on the mountain to go snow tubing!
