Our take

Oak Mountain Ski Center in Speculator calls its tubing area Tube Town, and it keeps things small: 4 lanes, a handle tow lift and a 36-inch minimum height. Tubing runs Saturday and Sunday from 9:15am to 4pm. The ticket includes your tube, the tow and 90 minutes of tubing, which is shorter than the 2-hour sessions most parks sell.

Tickets are sold online in advance only. That makes planning simple but not spontaneous. Choose your date, buy the slot and arrive on time. A handle tow has you hold a grip on a moving line, so bring waterproof gloves. Our record does not list a price, so check oakmountainski.com for the current rate. Because the hill is small, weekend slots may fill, though we have no official capacity numbers to cite.

The other Adirondack option nearby is Gore Mountain, about 21 miles away, which lists night tubing and a handle tow with a historical $18 rate. West Mountain Ski Center is about 35 miles away. Our night tubing guide explains why Gore may suit an evening trip better.

Who it suits

Good for

Worth pairing with

[Gore Mountain](/tubing/gore-mountain-north-creek/) is about 21 miles away and lists night tubing at the North Creek Ski Bowl, which Oak Mountain does not.

How Oak Mountain Ski Center compares in New York

We track 20 tubing hills in New York. The park has not published a price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.

It runs 4 lanes against a state average of about 10, so it is smaller than most of its neighbours, which can mean longer waits when it is busy.

One caveat worth repeating: this park had not published its current-season dates when we last checked, while 2 of the 20 parks we track in New York had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as a prior season's until the park confirms it.
