Reservations must be canceled by 5:00pm (Mountain Time) the day before your scheduled tubing time, in order to avoid a $10/person/hour cancellation fee. Please email recreation@townoffrisco.com or call 970-668-2558 to cancel. Please leave a voicemail if no one answers, a voicemail received prior to 5pm the day before your reservation will count as a valid cancellation. No-call, no-shows will not be refunded.

Tubing reservations are made for a specific, 1-hour time slot. The tubing hill is often fully booked and typically cannot accommodate guests who arrive late, after their scheduled time. The Adventure Park staff are happy to move reservations to a different day if availability allows, otherwise, please refer to the above cancellation policy.

At all times, a service animal must be under the control of its handler. A service animal shall have a harness, leash, or other tether, unless either the handler is unable because of a disability to use a harness, leash, or other tether, or the use of a harness, leash, or other tether would interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of work or tasks, in which case the service animal must be otherwise under the handler’s control (e.g., voice control, signals, or other effective means). Where it is not obvious that an animal is a service animal, Town of Frisco employees may inquire as to the following per ADA guidelines:

1. Is the service animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

All service animals must fall within current ADA guidelines.

Individuals with disabilities are permitted to be accompanied by their service animal in all public areas of the Frisco Adventure Park. However, the Frisco Adventure Park prohibits the public from having service animals on ski lifts (magic carpet lift), ski/ride hill, terrain park, and tubing hill. The use of service animals on ski lifts and ski terrain impedes the reasonably safe operation of the Frisco Adventure Park’s on-slope activities. These safety concerns include the real potential for conflicts between service animals and skiers, riders, and tubers and are compounded by the large volume of lift, slope, and trail use. These safety requirements are based on actual risks and are not intended to be discriminatory in any way.

If you, or any member of your group has a disability, is in a wheelchair or other mobility device, or needs extra assistance navigating through the tubing experience, we are here to help! Snow tubing is an inclusive activity, as long as the basic safety requirements are met, then we want you to come tubing. We are equipped to accommodate a variety of needs. We never want to assume that anyone needs assistance or accommodations, so please don’t hesitate to ask any staff member for help if it would make your tubing experience more enjoyable.

Wheelchair or other mobility device users: Yes, you can tube! We can assist in guiding or transferring the individual into their tube, and they can remain seated in their tube throughout the tubing experience. We will have staff positioned at the bottom and top of the carpet lift, ready to assist when necessary. We can even have a staff member join you throughout the entire tubing experience if you would like.

Riding the Carpet Lift: The carpet lift that takes you to the top of the tube hill can be challenging for anyone with mobility or balance limitations. We cannot allow anyone to sit directly on the carpet lift; however, we have a way to allow these individuals to ride up the carpet lift while seated in their tube. Please ask the bottom carpet attendant for guidance if you would like to ride while seated in your tube.

Watching the safety video: We have a 3 minute safety video that all participants are required to watch before they can tube. If you or anyone in your group needs audial or visual accommodations, please let us know upon check-in. For anyone in a wheelchair or mobility device, we may have your group watch the video in a different location, because our safety video hut is on the snow surface and is not very accessible. Please ask a staff member during check-in if this would work well for your group.

Service Animals: Please review our service animal policy in the section above.

If you have any other questions or concerns related to accessibility at the Frisco Adventure Park, please don’t hesitate to call or email us in advance of your visit date, or speak with one of our guest service agents when you check-in. Our goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable snow tubing experience for everyone!

Drone use is not permitted. Please review the Town of Frisco’s drone policy for commercial uses for further details.

If you are traveling to the Frisco Adventure Park on I-70, please be aware that heavy traffic will likely exist on all weekends, holidays, and during snow storms. Please allow extra time for your trip to the Frisco Adventure Park. If traveling from the Denver area, we recommend adding an additional 2 hours of planned travel time when traveling on a Saturday. Better to be safe than sorry!

The Colorado Department of Transportation provides road condition updates on their website.

How long will I tube for?

• Each tubing session is 1 hour long. (Example: if you reserve a spot at 3:15pm, you will tube from 3:15pm-4:15pm)

When should I arrive?

• Please arrive 15-20 minutes early to complete our check-in process. Groups of 20 or more, please arrive 30 minutes early. Your session time starts with or without you.

If I purchase an hour of tubing, can I show up at any time?

• The time slot and date that you sign up for is set, we may not be able to add time to your session if you arrive late. Please pay close attention to the time of your session shown on your receipt.

My child is scared, can I tube with them?

• Each tube is a single tube and each person rides in their own tube, but depending on conditions, we may allow groups of up to 4 tubes to travel down the lane together. Every person tubing must have a valid tubing ticket.

Can my child ride in my tube with me?

• Everyone rides in their own tube, no tube sharing or lap riding.

Can I tube with my purse/bag/backpack?

• Leave bags and backpacks in your vehicle, if possible. Bags can make sitting in a tube awkward and uncomfortable.

What is the height requirement?

• All tubers must meet the 36in height requirement for safety. No one under 36 inches tall will be permitted to tube, no exceptions. There is otherwise no age requirement, although children under 8 years of age must be accompanied by an adult with a snow tubing ticket.

What is the weight limit to participate in snow tubing?

• There is no strict weight limit for snow tubing. However, our tubes are a standard size, and guest comfort and ease of use can vary depending on individual body size and mobility. For guests around or above 300 lbs, fitting comfortably in the tube and getting in and out of it may be more challenging. We encourage all guests to consider their comfort and physical ease when deciding whether snow tubing will be an enjoyable experience.

Can my dog come tubing with me?

• We love pups, but pups and snow tubing don’t mix. Please leave your four-legged friends at home. See our Service Animal Policy above for more information.

Is there food for purchase at the park?

• The Day Lodge has Frisco Haus, a small cafe serving breakfast and lunch items, coffee, sodas, and other beverages, check out their menu. The Nordic Center, across the street from the Day Lodge, also has a small selection of food items for purchase.

How do I get to the park?

• Our address is listed at the top of this page. We have lots of parking across the park if you choose to drive. The free county-wide Summit Stage bus system can drop you off by the colorful pedestrian tunnel that takes you into the park. We are approximately 1 mile from Frisco Main St. via the recreation path. Once you arrive, check-in is located inside the Day Lodge ticket office.

What if I want more than 1 hour of tubing?

• If you would like to tube for more than one hour, you may book a second tubing session. We recommend booking consecutive hours, i.e. 9:45am and 10:45am. Let us know when you check in that you booked 2 hours!

The tubing date/sessions I want are sold out, is there a waitlist?

• We do not have a waitlist. The best way to see if we have availability is to check our reservations website, it will update live if there are any cancellations. If a session is full, please check another date or time. We do not have additional tickets to sell once we reach max capacity.

I need help getting in and out of my tube/riding the carpet lift/understanding the safety video, etc…

• If you or anyone in your group have additional needs that we can support, please don’t hesitate to ask. Our team is equipped to help with a variety of needs, and we are happy to be of assistance when able.

I’m travelling from Denver and traffic is bad. I think I might be late for my session, what are my options?

• If traveling from outside the county, we recommend giving yourself an extra hour of travel time at a minimum. If you think you will be late, give us a call and let us know. We cannot guarantee any additional time for your tubing session as we are often at full capacity, but we will do our best to give you as much tubing time as possible.
