snowtubing

Sliding on donuts

Snowtubing is sliding down a snow-covered slope while seated in an inflatable tube or ring.

Unlike skiing or snowboarding, it requires no special skills or equipment beyond the tube itself.

Most ski resorts offer groomed snowtubing lanes with a conveyor lift back to the top: The kids spent the whole afternoon snowtubing.
