The Yawgoo Valley Ski Area and Water Park is a fantastic year-round destination — in fact, it’s the only place in Rhode Island where you can do both. And (usually) from mid-December until the last snowfall, you can also enjoy their epic snow tubing hill. If snow tubing in Rhode Island is something you’ve never tried, this is the perfect place to start.

Yawgoo Valley Ski Area and Water Park is unique in many ways. One of the ways is that they make their own snow.

Almost all the snow you'll find here is made onsite, but Rhode Island's winter temperatures usually keep it safe until spring.
In the summer Rhode Islanders flock here for the epic water park. But in the winter, it's all about skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing. If you're looking for ski resorts in Rhode Island, Yawgoo Valley is the one and only.

While the team here recommends taking lessons for snow sports first (which you can do here), going snow tubing requires no skills at all.
The snow tubing park has seven perfectly carved lanes and tow ropes, so all you'll have to do is enjoy yourself. Here you'll find the longest snow tubing run in Rhode Island with a lift that will tow you right back up in your tube as well.
