A 1,133-foot tubing hill with a 169-foot drop at a former ski area (Mystic Miner, 1967 to 2017) in Lead, SD, with 4 lanes on a tow.
Loading current conditions…
Deer Mountain Village occupies the former Mystic Miner Ski Resort, which ran from 1967 to 2017 before being redeveloped as a resort community in Lead, South Dakota. The tubing hill is the reason to look at it: 1,133 feet long, 169 feet of vertical drop at a 14% grade, and 4 lanes.
Riders get back to the top on a tow rope, and our record lists the East Mountain Chairlift and Tubing Tow as operating. That is a longer ride than a carpet-served hill, so a good pair of gloves is worth bringing.
Our record has no price, hours, session length, age or height rule, and the entry isn’t verified beyond the venue site, so use deermountainvillage.com to confirm before you drive. The resort also lists skiing and snowboarding.
Distance is the planning issue. Sleeping Giant Ski & Zip is about 279 miles away and Tube Howelsen about 306 miles, so pick this park because you are already in the area. The South Dakota page lists closer options.
Hours, dates and prices aren't in our record, so check deermountainvillage.com or call before planning a day around it.
