Ski Butternut in Great Barrington offers a straightforward daytime tubing setup: seven lanes served by a magic carpet, with 1.5-hour sessions sold for specific time slots. The record lists no night tubing, so plan on daylight hours only.
The hill is open Saturday and Sunday from 8:15 AM to 4 PM, and Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM, though weekday availability varies. Tickets must be bought in advance for a set time, and the park allows cancellations until 4 PM two days before, with a $5 fee. That flexibility is useful in a region where weather can change plans. Pricing varies by session, so check the ticket page.
Our record does not list a minimum age or height, so confirm rules when you book rather than assuming there are none.
