Snow Riders is a family-focused winter recreation provider offering snow tubing, slope-side fire pit rentals, and themed party packages at a purpose-built tubing facility. The operation runs 1.5-hour tubing sessions on East Coast-leading slopes that stretch more than three football fields, with 16 groomed lanes and a modern Magic Carpet lift for easy uphill return. Snow Riders designs experiences for all ages: a kiddie tubing area for children under 36 inches with gentle lanes and adult supervision; general snow tubing sessions suitable for groups and first-time riders; and customizable fire pit rentals that include a picnic table, chairs, fire pit, firewood, and optional S'mores kit for cozy slope-side gatherings. Party offerings include three distinct packages tailored for celebrations: the Polar Bear Package and Reindeer Package each feature exclusive party-room access, unlimited soda, a hot chocolate bar or Dippin’ Dots option, personalized shout-outs, and a special visit from Eddy the Yeti; the Penguin Package and other birthday options add pizza or chicken tenders and a surprise gift. All party packages combine indoor comfort with 1.5 hours of tubing, supervised activities, and clear inclusions to simplify planning. Safety, convenience, and guest experience drive Snow Riders’ approach: groomed lanes, staffed lifts, and designated kid lanes reduce risk while enhancing fun. The facility supports family outings, group events, and private celebrations with transparent offerings and bundled amenities that deliver memorable winter experiences on the slopes. Online booking, clear pricing, and on-site staff simplify logistics so guests can focus on cold-weather fun and lasting memories.
