What is snow tubing?
Snow tubing is a winter activity in which you slide down a slope on a purpose-made inflatable ring.
The ring glides over the snow without asking for any of the technique that skiing or snowboarding needs.
The whole thing is built around fun, controlled speed and doing it together.
It is one of the easiest ways of enjoying yourself on snow.
