This Epic Snow Tubing Hill Near Boston Will Give You The Winter Thrill Of A Lifetime

Now that we’ve shoveled the first snow of the season, it’s time to remind ourselves of the reasons that snow is awesome. After all, it isn’t disappearing anytime soon! Consider making the most of the wintry weather with a day of snow-filled fun. And there’s no better place for outdoor thrills than the tubing slopes at Ski Ward.

Located in Shrewsbury, 42 miles or an hour’s drive west of Boston, Ski Ward is already open for the season.

Tubers do need to be at least 6 years of age and 42 inches tall to take part.
On weekdays, an hour’s tubing costs $15, while two hours of fun is $20. On weekends, holidays, and school vacations, two-hour passes cost $29 per person.

Since the season has just started, Ski Ward is currently only open on weekends. However, once the season’s in full swing, Tuba Slide opens on weekdays between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Hours are much longer during weekends, holidays, and school vacations, when you can zip down the lanes from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. (or until 5 p.m. on Sundays).

Unlike skiing and snowboarding, you don’t need to be athletic or have any experience to go snow tubing.
However, if you do happen to be a skiier or snowboarder, you can take advantage of Ski Ward’s nine trails.
