What you get for the price

snow tubingalpine skiing

$10 ticket packet includes 6 rides up the lift with tube

Rough cost for a family of four: about $40.00 at the posted starting rate, before rentals, food, or parking. Many parks sell tubing by the hour or by a fixed session rather than a full-day pass — check the note above for exactly what that price buys.

Our take

Ascutney Outdoors is a volunteer-run nonprofit on Ascutney Mountain, and its tubing hill is a 500-foot run served by a rope tow. It is closer to a community hill than a resort attraction, and it also offers alpine skiing.

The pricing is simple. The record lists a $10 ticket packet that includes six rides up the lift with a tube. There are no listed sessions, minimum age or height, or reservation policy, and tubing is described as walk-up.

The catch is reliability. Days are listed as mostly weekends and weather dependent, and snowmaking is recorded as false, so the hill only runs when natural snow allows it. Check the official tubing page or call ahead before driving, particularly after a warm spell.

If you need certainty, the resorts nearby run bigger operations. Okemo Mountain Resort - Jackson Gore Tubing Park is about 13 miles straight-line away, with four lanes and a magic carpet. Killington Resort Tubing Park is about 20 miles away and requires advance booking, so Ascutney is the pick if you want to skip that.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Mostly weekends when there is snow: the hill runs on natural snow only (no snowmaking), so check conditions the morning of.

How long to budget

A short visit: the $10 packet is six rides, and there are no timed sessions or reservations listed.

Who it suits

Good for

  • Families who want a cheap, low-key local hill
  • Visitors also interested in the alpine skiing at Ascutney
  • Anyone happy to support a nonprofit

Skip it if

You need a guaranteed opening: operations depend on weather and snow, and the record lists no snowmaking.

Worth pairing with

Okemo Mountain Resort's Jackson Gore park is about 13 miles straight-line away with four lanes and a magic carpet; Killington is about 20 miles away.
