Handle-tow tubing at the North Creek Ski Bowl with night sessions and a 36-inch minimum, from a historical $18.
Loading current conditions…
Historical rate for 2-hour session
Rough cost for a family of four: about $72.00 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.
Gore Mountain’s tubing operates at the North Creek Ski Bowl in the Adirondacks, and it stands out for two things in the record: a handle tow to get you up the hill and night tubing. The minimum height is 36 inches. The listed price is historical, at $18 for a 2-hour session, so treat it as a starting point rather than a promise.
A handle tow means you grip a handle attached to a moving line while your tube is pulled up, which takes more effort than a carpet. Bring waterproof gloves you can hold with. The record lists night tubing, so evening sessions are the option for anyone who wants lights and cooler air. Reservation rules, session times and age limits are not in our record, so check goremountain.com or call 518-251-0899 before you drive. Read our night tubing guide for tips.

You dislike gripping a handle tow. The record lists a handle tow system rather than a carpet lift, so riders who want no-effort lifts should look elsewhere.
