What you get for the price

tubingskiingsnowboarding

Thursday night deal $24; other times $39-49 depending on day and time. 2-hour or 4-hour sessions.

Rough cost for a family of four: about $96.00 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

Wisp Resort’s tubing hill has up to 12 lanes, each 750 feet long, with two conveyor carpets carrying riders back uphill. Lane attendants work the hill, and the resort lists dedicated snowmaking and grooming. Your ticket includes the uphill transportation, so you do not need a lift ticket.

Book before you drive. The official page says advance online reservations are required, and you can complete the participation agreement ahead of time to shorten check-in. Sessions are 2 hours Friday through Sunday and 4 hours on Wednesday and Thursday night, with separate holiday pricing. Riders must be at least 4 years old and 42 inches tall, a height rule the page attributes to Maryland regulations.

Dress carefully. The page requires a hat, gloves and winter footwear, and it bans loose clothing such as scarves as well as ski and hard-shell boots. It also recommends arriving early for parking and paperwork.

The pricing is the useful part for planning: the Thursday night 4-hour deal is listed at $24, well under the weekend rate. If you want a nearby alternative in our data, Hidden Valley Resort is about 35 miles away and Timberline Mountain is about 36 miles. Our tubing cost guide explains typical pricing.
