Snow Tubing in Michigan: 30+ Snow Tubing Hills in Our Great Lakes State

Snow Tubing in Michigan is the Perfect Way to Spend Time Outside in Winter

If you like sledding, you’re going to love snow tubing in Michigan. It’s the newest craze in Michigan winter activities.

Combine the thrill of speeding down a snow-covered hill on a cushy tube, with the ease of a ride back up to the top and you’ve got a winning combination.

Snow tubing has risen in popularity as ski resorts look to offer a less-technical way to enjoy the slopes.

No training is necessary for snow tubing. Just pay a fee, grab a tube, and get ready for hours of fun at your local snow sports facility’s tubing hill.
