When the winter frost settles in and the lure of cozying up indoors becomes overpowering, there’s a remedy that Ontario’s snow-laden landscape offers: Horseshoe Resort’s snow tubing hill.
This snowy sanctuary, nestled in Barrie, beckons adventure seekers and winter enthusiasts alike to experience the thrill of zooming down Ontario’s longest snow tubing hill.
Spanning over a whopping 700 meters, this tubing haven isn’t just a slide in the snow; it’s an adrenaline-pumping adventure for the entire family. Featuring multiple chutes and heart-pounding drops, it’s a whirlwind of excitement that guarantees an unforgettable experience.
But what makes snow tubing an absolute must-try? It’s the epitome of all-thrill, no-skill fun. You needn’t be a winter sports aficionado or spend hours mastering a new skill. It’s an activity that welcomes everyone – from kids to adults – promising exhilaration without the need for any prior experience or equipment.
Tubing Requirements
- Minimum Height: All riders must be at least 42 inches (3 feet 6 inches) tall.
