Rough cost for a family of four: about $60.00 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.
Echo Valley Ski & Tubing Area is a nonprofit, volunteer-run ski hill founded in 1955, about 9 miles from downtown Chelan. Its tubing area has six lanes served by rope tows, and the price includes tube rental. There is also a day lodge with food service.
The value is hard to miss: $15 for all-day tubing, with children 5 and under complimentary. No reservation is required. The record lists a minimum age of 3, and no height minimum. Hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The calendar is the thing to confirm. The last season dates in our record ran December 20 to January 4 with daily operation, followed by weekends and holidays. Because volunteers and snow conditions shape the schedule, check the Echo Valley site before the drive. No night tubing is listed.
If you are choosing between nearby hills, Lt Michael Adams Tubing Park is about 27 miles straight-line away and has a single 100-foot lane sold as six-run tickets, so Echo Valley has far more room to spread out. Summit at Snoqualmie is about 64 miles away.
