Tubing Headed to New Heights

Known for its diverse and abundant family activities, Beaver Creek Resort is taking its tubing program to new heights. For the 2009-2010 season there will be a new, lift-served six lane tubing hill operating in the prime afternoon activity hours. The tubing lanes run 300 feet in length and will be located just below The Ranch, our on-mountain children's ski school center. Pricing for the new tubing activity will be announced in the fall. Nightly family activities will continue six of seven afternoons throughout the season including family snowshoe tours, ice skating, rail jams, and Thursday Night Lights. Kids also love the Game Garage, Rebound Trampoline and après s'mores at the Park Hyatt. It's the perfect way to invest in quality family time and create lasting memories
