snow tubing

Inflatable hill descent

Snow tubing is a winter activity where a person slides down a snowy slope while seated in an inflated rubber tube.

Unlike skiing or snowboarding, it requires no special skill—you sit, hold on, and let gravity do the work.

Ski resorts often maintain dedicated tubing hills with groomed lanes: The kids spent the afternoon snow tubing.
