What you get for the price

Snow tubing

Kids 4-15 years: $35; Adults 16+: $45 per 2-hour session

Rough cost for a family of four: about $140.00 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.

Our take

Wildslide Winter Park sits on the Mt. Rose Highway and is run as part of Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe’s winter offerings. It is listed as opening at Thanksgiving 2026 with up to 20 groomed tubing lanes and a conveyor lift, so there is no hike back up. Sessions last 2 hours, and the record lists kids 4 to 15 at $35 and adults 16 and older at $45. Confirm current rates.

Hours vary by day. Friday runs 10am to 6pm, Saturday starts at 8:30am and runs to 6pm, and Sunday starts at 8:30am. The last session on weekends is 4:30pm, according to the official site. Midweek visits are by group reservation. The official homepage highly recommends booking ahead but says walk-ins are welcome when space permits. Parking is free, with over 400 spaces, and a lodge with hot drinks and snacks is described as coming soon, so do not plan on it being ready.

Other Tahoe-area parks are close. Granlibakken Tahoe is about 16 miles away and Palisades Tahoe about 21 miles. Our snowmaking and conditions guide explains why opening dates can shift.
