While Wintergreen has been a beloved ski destination for years, there's another equally memorable activity you can enjoy high up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Aptly named, The Plunge is the tallest and largest tubing park in the state.

Comparable to a 10-story building in height and three football fields in length, this massive hill is perfect for flying down.

With all of your equipment and safety gear in place, you'll be ready to zoom downhill at speeds of up to 30 MPH. That may sound modest until you realize that you're on a snow tube, not a moving vehicle.

Unlike skiing where there's a lift that takes you up to the top of the slope, The Plunge has a conveyor belt to bring you and your tube back up the hill so you can start the fun all over again.

Snow tubing is a family-friendly activity recommended for kids who are six and older. Riders should also be at least 42 inches tall.

If you're traveling with little ones who don't quite meet the requirements, there's a whole park dedicated to kiddos called Ridgely's Fun Park.

You can learn more about the activities offered by visiting the Ridgely's Fun Park page.
Whether it's your first visit to The Plunge or you've been enjoying this winter attraction for years, you'll be glad you made snow tubing a part of your year.
