New Hampshire Is Home To The Country’s Most Underrated Snow Tubing Park And You’ll Want To Visit
There are a lot of great reasons to be in New Hampshire throughout the year. From visiting our little coastline during the summer to exploring the green trees and high summits….well, just about any time. But, where we really shine is winter. Between skiing and all the other things that are possible each winter, there’s never a dull moment if you’re the type that looks for adventure. But, no matter what your level of winter exploration desires you’ll love snow tubing at this spot. It’s pretty awesome and the Granite State is lucky to claim it as its own.
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!

You probably already know that Granite Gorge Ski Area, located in Keene, is a great place to go for tons of winter activities. From downhill skiing to cross-country skiing to snowshoeing, if you love being outside when it’s cold, you’ll love it here.
But, we particularly love the snow tubing at Granite Gorge! The snow tubing slope is a whopping 950 feet, making this far more than just a little slide.
And, they allow any type of style going downhill - including the ability to link up with others on three of their double-wide lines making for a really wild ride!
The best part? Once you get to the bottom, getting back to the top is a breeze. They’ve got a super fast Wondercarpet lift, which means the trip to the top is just 2.5 minutes.
There are more than 150 tubes available to rent, so you probably won’t have to worry about being shut out and having to wait for someone to return theirs.
Snow tubing is a great way to enjoy winter without going through the lessons of skiing. It’s quick, easy and un-fussy, which is why we love it compared to skiing.
Tickets are $22 per person for 2 hours. Cosmic Tubing takes place on Saturdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and costs $29 per person.

Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
