Vertical Descent is Snow Trails’ tubing park in Mansfield, and it makes a strong claim: the longest tubing lanes in Ohio at 1,100 feet. There are 10 of them, with a 100-foot vertical drop and a conveyor carpet lift for the ride back up. Snowmaking is listed, and the resort says the season usually runs from late December into March.
The catch is that this is a book-ahead park. Reservations are required, made online only, and walk-ups aren’t available. Sessions last 2 hours, with the option to add an hour, and pricing is posted online rather than at the hill. Glow tubing sessions are also offered. No age, height or weight requirement is stated, but riders need to be able to stand on the conveyor lift, which is worth remembering for very young children.
