OK, so you know about snowboarding, but have you heard of snow tubing?

Similar to sledding, you whiz down snowy slopes on top of an inner tube (sometimes called a donut or biscuit).

North Carolina ski resorts, including Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain, offer tubing areas, and there are many parks devoted to snowtubing, such as Jonas Ridge in Newland.

Hawksnest in Seven Devils boasts the biggest snow tubing park on the East Coast. It offers at least 20 lanes that span from 400 to 1,000 feet long. 828-963-6561 or hawksnest-resort.com
