A fenced sled hill in Tahoe City, not a tube park: Granlibakken's own sleds only, two slopes, and Friday and Saturday 5pm night sledding.

Granlibakken’s snow area is best understood as a sledding hill. The official winter page describes a fenced, groomed slope with a green run for younger kids and a black run for teens and adults, and says sled rental is included in admission with only Granlibakken’s sleds permitted. Our record lists tubing, which the official page does not confirm.
The hill has a warmer, resort-lodge feel than a big tubing park. Evening sledding runs Fridays and Saturdays at 5:00pm, and the record adds hot chocolate and mulled wine, plus a mid-December to mid-January window that you should confirm with the property. Lodge guests get 50% off, parking is free, and spectators cannot go into the fenced area without a ticket. Our record has no price, so check the winter page.
There is no lift listed, so plan on walking back up. The snow tubing vs. sledding guide explains the difference in gear and rides.
If you want a tube and a lift, Palisades Tahoe is about 6 miles away. Northstar is about 10 miles away with a tow-rope tubing lane.
Friday or Saturday at 5:00pm for night sledding; the record lists the night program as running mid-December to mid-January, so confirm dates.
