Snow Tube Area

  •  760 feet long, lighted, snow tube run with 85' of vertical elevation change 
  • six automated tower mounted and one portable snow makers
  • 410 feet long Magic Carpet Conveyor 300 snow tubes 
  • Tube storage area

Beginner Ski Slope

The design process began with an evaluation of the winter recreation area to locate a site suitable to accommodate the new snow tube facility.  Followed by researching ski lifts and conveyor systems to determine which style would best meet the needs of the park's visitors.
