What you get for the price

Snow Tubing

$25-45 depending on day; buy online early as spots sell out fast

Rough cost for a family of four: about $100.00 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

Echo Mountain Tubing Hill sits at about 10,000 feet near Idaho Springs, roughly an hour from Denver, with views of the Continental Divide. It has six lanes and a covered conveyor lift, so the ride back up is easy.

Tickets are the thing to plan. The official page says reservations are required and must be made online in advance; walk-in guests pay an extra fee and get space only if it’s available. Our record says prices run from $25 to $45 depending on the day and that spots sell out fast, so confirm the rate for your date. Each admission covers one hour, and additional hours can be bought onsite at a discount.

On arrival, get there 30 minutes early and look for the Tubing Tickets sign. Riders must be at least 36 inches tall, and only one person can ride per tube, with no lap riding no matter how small. The page recommends layers, waterproof gloves and snow boots, and lists helmets and other gear as rentals.

The season runs roughly December through March depending on weather. The closest alternatives are in Fraser, about 16 miles away, which accepts walk-ups.
