The expanse of snow before us seemed abruptly severed horizontally. Beyond this divide, long corridors stretched out. As we walked right up to the edge, I discovered a slope which seemed to me equivalent to a 10-storey descent. My 6-year-old friends stamped their feet with impatience as they waited the attendant's signal. Not me! In a split second, I felt like I was on a free-falling 4-storey elevator ride. Then, I was showered with snow rushing from under my tube and my tube started revolving around itself. I gave my pint-size Olympic bobsledders a good show. They were ready for more. The first set of slopes was steeper but tubers could choose a second group of gentler trails located behind a row of trees. Minimum height to ride down the slopes is 42 inches. The great thing about Snow Valley Snow Tubing is that smaller kids have two options: the Chicken Chutes (without a lift, where parents and kids can form groups to slide down) and the Kidz Play Area, a 3-chute miniature tube park without a lift reserved for kids only (under 42 inches).
