There is nothing better than a fresh blanket of fluffy white snow in New England — and snow tubing is just the way to enjoy it! When you want something a bit more adventurous than your neighborhood sledding hill but aren’t quite up for skiing or snowboarding, snow tubing is the answer! It’s a great way to get outdoors in the beautiful Boston area with well-manicured tracks to guarantee a great run.
