Monarch Mountain Tubing

In 2019, Monarch Mountain created a 450' snow tubing hill in the area below the Ramble On and Little Mo runs.

"Over the years we've gotten a lot of inquiries about tubing in the area," says Carol Novak, Monarch's Director of Sales and Marketing. "With the Monarch Tubing Park, we will be able to enhance the experience for our guests and offer families a classic winter recreational experience they can enjoy together."

Near the bottom of the tubing hill is a yurt used for check-in, and a rope tow lift for the uphill ride.
