Hubby took our Son, A friend of ours and their son snow tubing at Wild Mountain in Taylors Falls Last week and they had SO much fun!
They actually got a bit lost trying to find the snow tubing part of the resort and went to the ski lodge which was awesome looking. About 5 minutes farther up the mountain you find the tubing facility-- it reminded them of a skating rink-- basic but did the job. They could make the building more comfortable and maybe add some attractions, like the other lodge had an arcade- but you ARE there to 'tube'.
The 'chutes' are CRAZY! Ever saw Cool Runnings? Imagine a steep, long, dug-out tunnel of sheer ice. Throw in huge inner tubes and get ready to scream! The daddies were more scared than the kids.
The employee service was great-- especially the chute attendant named "Matt" who was great with the kids. He was very knowledgable and described how to do it safely and kept them interested and laughing. Every time they went back up for another run they chatted some more.
All in all it was a great trip and we highly recomend this essential winter 'sport' and our local Wild Mountain facility.
