Tubing In New Mexico
On the mountain, “family fun” and “snow tubing” go hand-in-hand. Jumping into a tube and sliding yourself downhill is a perfect activity to cap off a day filled with alpine adventures. It’s also a wonderful way for all ages to dip a toe of any skill level into snowsports. Whether you’re making lifelong memories or looking for an activity the whole family can enjoy, here are our three favorite can’t-miss tubing hills around New Mexico.
RUIDOSO WINTER PARK
Day Tubing, 10 a.m – 5 p.m. Most Days | $36.50 per person for 3 hours
Twilight Tubing, 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. Most Days | $26.50 per person

Ruidoso Winter Park is perfect for serious “tubers” wanting a little adventure. Ruidoso is committed to “the best tubing experience possible” and great conditions are always available due to their impressive snow-making system. Put that fresh powder to good use and choose your own tubing adventure: book a three-hour adventure starting as early as 10 a.m. or end your day “twilight tubing” from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
