Loppet Trails & Recreation

Snow Tubing & Sledding

The easiest way to enjoy the hills

The tubing hill at Wirth Park, just behind The Trailhead, is designed for fun for all ages. During weekend days, there is an operating tow rope which brings tubers back up to the top of the hill. You bring the warm clothes, we provide the rest.

Parking is available outside The Trailhead building with more parking available at the Wirth Chalet.

Rules of the Hill

  • No snowboards, skis, sleds, toboggans, or tubes other than the tubes supplied by The Loppet Foundation are allowed on the hill.
  • Riders must be at least five years of age and 44” tall to ride the tow rope. One person per tube.
  • Riders under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

  • Kids under 5 and under 44″ are invited to use our “kiddie” hill which is accessed by stairs.  This small hill is right next to the larger one.

The Tubing Hill is open during scheduled hours depending upon conditions. There are times when we need to close the hill due to cold temperatures, wind chill, or icy conditions. When conditions require, the tubing hill will be closed temporarily for ski trail grooming.
