Bluegreen Colorful Places

Winter is one of the most wonderful times of the year in Michigan and Wisconsin, home to a few Bluegreen resorts. The air is fresh, cold and crisp. Snowflakes dance in the sky and then fall to the ground, covering the landscape in a thick blanket of pure white snow—ideal conditions for snow tubing enthusiasts!

Snow Tubing On Your Winter Vacation

The area is home to a myriad of great winter activities. Among the most popular is snow tubing, which is a great alternative to skiing. You can experience the excitement of snow tubing in the Midwest at Bluegreen’s Mountain Run at Boyne and Christmas Mountain Village during your next winter getaway. Both resorts offer tube rentals and exciting runs with handle tows to get your tube back to the top of the hill.  

Unlike downhill skiing, which requires a bit of athletic ability, a great deal of balance and some training, snow tubing doesn’t require any special skills or lessons. All you need is a tube and the desire to have some slippery fun while spending time with family and friends during your vacation snow tubing down hills. Snow tubing is the perfect Midwest winter outing for the young and young at heart.

There’s no right or wrong way to go down a snow tube run at Boyne Mountain and Christmas Mountain. You can show off your daring side and plunge headfirst. Take it easy by leaning back and letting your feet lead the way. Or have somebody spin you, and go down like a top. Whatever method you choose, you’re in for an exciting ride. It’s also a good idea to remember your physics while you’re at the top of the slopes: the more weight you have the faster you’ll go. So consider riding in tandem or hooking up with other tubers for more fun and more speed. If you’re in the mood for the fastest run possible, wait until the afternoon or early evening. As more traffic slides down, the hills get faster. 

Snow Tubing Will Get the Adrenaline Rushing

If you find yourself constantly seeking the next big winter thrill during your vacation and think snow tubing may deflate your levels of excitement, think again. Little friction is created between your tube and the slopes—and that means there’s not a lot to slow you down. So you can count on feeling the surge of adrenaline rush past the tip of your icy nose as you race downward on a fast-paced trip to the bottom of the hill.

When your winter vacation calls for a fun-filled snow tubing adventure at Bluegreen resorts in Michigan or Wisconsin, Mountain Run at Boyne^TM and Christmas Mountain Village^TM are some of the prettiest and coolest places to visit.
