When it comes to outdoor winter sports, Illinois has its fair share of adventurous activities to choose from. With hiking, skiing, snowboarding, sledding, snowmobiling, and tubing, there’s plenty of fun to be had by all. And for you snow tubing enthusiasts out there, the best runs in the state may very well be at Snowstar Winter Park.

Located in Andalusia, Snowstar Winter Park first opened in 1981 with one chairlift and four ski runs. Over the years, 11 additional ski runs were added, as well as three more chair lifts. A large terrain park and tubing hill were also added as additional options for outdoor fun.
